“Windsor Arms has an intimate charm that's quite appealing. Its Yorkville location is superb, and the afternoon tea is a true draw, yet some may find the rooms themselves are not consistently maintained to a five-star standard. It's a distinctive choice for those prioritizing location and a quiet atmosphere.”
