This hotel is one of the best I have stayed in. The room was so beautiful in terms of decor with the most comfy bed. The bathroom was also incredible with lots of lovely free accessories like body lotions, nail files, cotton buds etc. The air conditioning was set perfectly for a good night sleep and was quiet which is often not the case. This plus the beautiful cotton sheets and blankets made for a perfect overnight stay. Just wished I could have stayed another night!

We loved our stay at the Winston, as did our dog Mocha. Even though there was is no staff permanently at the hotel, whenever we did cross paths with them, they were very helpful. One of them was so kind as to put their employee microwave out for us so that we could warm up our dogs food. the room was larger than we expected and was absolutely beautiful. Parking was easy and check in was as well once we figured it out. Will stay again!
