So obviously this place is an old hotel if your into that sort of thing. It was built in the late 1800s. And it’s pretty cool to walk around in and look at all the old doors, and decorations, and so on. But for me, I was looking for a quiet night’s sleep which I didn’t really get. I stayed on the 3rd floor, which inside my room was ok but the entire 3rd floor outside of my room smelled like cat urine. And it was hot and muggy outside my room too. My room was pretty big and the bathroom was sufficient (and there was a Keurig in the bathroom?). The floor in my room wasn’t level but again, remember, this place is well over a 100 years old. Unfortunately the location of my room was not good. I was right over the top of the hotel “pub” which has a deck so all night, or until I finally fell asleep, all the drunkards were out of the pub deck drinking and just being loud. And the downtown Americus Main Street was right out the window and we could hear every car that passed by. And I could hear kids knocking on the wall in the room next door. Apparently my dad had it a lot worse as he was on the side of the hotel of a bar that plays live music and he didn’t go to sleep until after midnight because of the noise. The hotel did offer to change his room but he’d been in the bed for 2 or 3 hours by that time. My bed was not as comfortable as I have gotten used to hotel beds being. It was a little too hard for me. They also didn’t have a free continental style breakfast like literally everybody else has. And I think the employee service could be a little better. We were there for a wedding. My wife and kids, my brother’s wife and kids, and my parents. My mom rented us 3 rooms and paid for them herself but when she went to get a key to the other 2 rooms, the lady at the desk wouldn’t give them to her or tell them where they were? She had literally just paid for the rooms and they would only tell her where one room was (the room she was staying in). That was a little strange and I guess they got some security policies they have to follow but I also think commons sense is ok to use from time to time. Overall, I’ve lived in Georgia most my life and have family in Americus and I’ve always wanted to stay in the Windsor. With that said, now that I’ve stayed there once, I don’t see myself going back or recommending to others to spend the night there. Go inside and look around; yes. Spend the night; no. less
