The hotel is in Slough, not Windsor, which is about 4 miles away, as is Heathrow. We stayed for one night the day before a Heathrow flight and also used the parking facilities at the hotel whilst we were away. The decor is mostly dated but ok. Reception and the eating areas beside it look like they’ve been refurbished. The hotel has an old hotel smell, a bit musty, with a bit of clinging cigarette smell. We were greeted well at reception and dealt with quickly. We were in Room 315, which was a good size. Patio doors opened onto a nice garden area, but only opened 10cm for safety reasons. The room had a fridge, iron and board, hairdryer, two easy chairs and table, desk and a chair, chest of drawers, safe, tv, usb charging points, kettle and tea/coffee, bottle of water, ice cube bucket, air con, good sized bed, full sized mirror. Bath and shower with good shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. The long term parking at the hotel, as part of a hotel+parking package, may mean a long walk around the hotel back to Reception after you’ve parked your car, as no outside doors open to let you back in. But you keep your car keys, so nobody can move your car whilst you’re away. There’s a small “Grab and Go” shop area - Wundermart - close to reception and I’d avoid it, unless you’ve got deep pockets and really can’t do without what they’re selling. Quite expensive. There’s an ATM and a monitor to book a shuttle or taxi in reception. Dinner was good, but served in a bar environment, in the Brew Bar Lounge, which resembles a Wetherspoons, not the Brasserie restaurant we expected. However, we bought a 3 course dinner deal when we booked with Holiday Extras and it was worth it. Tasty food and good choices. The Market Kitchen for breakfast buffet was very good, offering everything you could possibly want.
