I stayed at the Windermere for two nights in September 2011. I was disappointed in the decor and the front desk staff weren't the most helpful, but fortunately the bed and sheets were comfortable and that made for an all-around average experience.
Approaching the hotel, one would expect it to be more of an upscale, boutique experience. In actuality, however, the decor is 20 years out of date and the hotel is need of a refresh. The bathroom, though clean, had fluorescent lighting, which is a no-no in my book for any hotel that charges more than $100 per night. The room was clean, though, and there was turn down service and other nice touches. We ate at the hotel restaurant, and that was definitely a grade above the hotel.
The main advantage is that it is adjacent to Western, its research park, and the hospital. I don't know if there is anything closer, but if proximity isn't an issue for you, you may want to look around.
