The front desk was extremely rude to me. My key did not work on four out of six days. They try to charge me for having a guest when I was checking out of the property. They had one of the three elevators out of service for most of the trip.

The breakfast buffet was excellent. The staff really connected. Daniel, Mathias and Flora at the front desk really go out of their way to connect with guests and always have a smile on their faces. This was our second stay at the Windsor Excelsior and we are looking forward to coming back next year.
