I had a mixed experience at Macdonald Windsor. The location is perfect, just a short walk from the castle, and I appreciated the spacious rooms. However, some cleanliness issues and service inconsistencies really stood out. While breakfast was lovely, the bar service was awkward and I felt a bit let down by the overall customer care.
