This boutique hotel is special. Proximity to Rosebank premier amenities while being tucked away in a block close to the highway. The friendliness and helpfulness of staff was top tier. Room service, food and other add ins were not only affordable, but fresh, well presented and wide ranging. Really a perfect alternative to a stay at a cookie cutter hotel model. Please change very little about this place!!

Do it!! Absolutely incredible stay!!!
We had the most incredible stay at The Winston. All I can say is GO!! My best friends & I stopped in for one night & wished we’d had a week. Super friendly staff, beautiful rooms, a gorgeous pool, and brilliant food in the restaurant for breakfast & dinner. We can’t wait to come back!

Worst hotel stay for that amount of money...terrib
Soon as I closed the windows trying to go to bed, there was an overwhelming smell of stale cooking filling the room. I called reception trying to change rooms. All I got was that they are fully booked and no commitment to try and sort out my concern. The receptionist told me to sleep with the windows open to try and get rid of the smell. The wi-fi was so slow to non existend that i had to get my husband to remotely arrange an alternate accommodation for me.

Nice but not 5star
My stay was pleasant but this is no way a 5 star property. Unless it is based on a different standard. This use to be a very fine boutique property but the little details are missing to be 5star. Maybe a review is required.
