“Inn the River Windsor, Ontario”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Immaculate to say the least, Old World English Hospitality, wonderful hostess with pure intentions of hospitality to the outside world. Breakfast is second to none as you enter a well set table featuring antique furnishings and dishes. Polished Silver teapots and Crystal Chandeliers make this an enticing get away ,
Immaculate bedrooms, comfortable beds and linens that are clean and fresh. The detroit river make this a refreshing stay.
I do return on a regular basis, thank-you for a memorable stay Maria.

Room Tip: Rooms that face the river all well done and kept, with or without fireplace

“Very little to complain about”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2011

This is a wonderful old house with many rooms and a long history. They have even posted a copy of the land registry log on the wall so the curious can look at the history of the house. I'm sure it has seen days of glory.

We were greeted by Tracy, who answered all our questions and showed us to our room and bathroom which was down the hall. She was very friendly and hospitable. Despite the size of the place we were the only guests for two days. Still, the room was neat and clean and the linen seemed fresh, as were the towels. The room overlooked the front lawn, Alexander Park and the Detroit River. It may not sound inviting, but it is very quaint and beautiful.

In the morning, we were greeted by Maria. Maria is the owner and cook and bookkeeper, but doesn't appear to live at the place. She was very talkative and friendly but aloof. She served us wonderful breakfasts both days. We must say we had the most sumptuous breakfasts at the Inn on the River of all our stays in southern Ontario B&B's for our 2 week vacation and she did it on her own. Quite impressive. Blueberry pancakes, muffins, coffee, mounds of fruit... big fluffy omelets, bacon, sausage. Nothing held back.

Still, there's something you can't put your finger on. You enter and exit through the kitchen which is not meant for guest use. The living room is turned upside down with chairs in the middle of being upholstered. The patio could use some attention, and the eaves. The driveway is serviceable but uneven. Nothing critical seems wrong, it's just missing the attention to detail that we had been used to seeing at B&B's in Ontario.

We would probably stay here again if we visited Windsor, the location is beautiful.

Room Tip: I'd pick the room facing the river and park, but the suite looks pretty plush.

“Great place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 June 2011

My friends and I stayed here 2 nights while on our Canadian road trip. We met the owners, who were absolutely delightful and accommodating. Breakfast was wonderful, the rooms were comfortable, the location was great (across the street from the Detroit River), and we were made to feel like we were home away from home.

“Great Bed & Breakfast and Wonderful Experience!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 March 2010
1
person found this review helpful

My family and I had a wonderful time staying at this Bed & Breakfast. The owners were incredibly friendly and accommodating. The house is very clean and quite comfortable. My family and I were there for a funeral and our hostess was kind enough to come to the church the day of. It really was a family style environment. We were lucky enough to run into one of their regular guest the next morning which happened to be an Elvis Presley/Roy Orbison impersonator. He gave us a private show after breakfast :-) All in all I have to say we had a pretty good time for being their for a funeral. I would definitely recommend the Windsor Inn to anyone, it is charming and a wonderful experience!

“Riverfront Relaxation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 March 2010
2
people found this review helpful

My boyfriend and I met at this B&B for a romantic weekend rendez-vous. At first I was concerned because the the exterior of the house & its sign were looking a bit worse for wear, but as soon as we were inside, Maria made us right at home. The interior is elegant and welcoming. Our room The Alexander Park Suite was just right for us, with electric fireplace and four-poster bed. We noted that some of the other rooms were not en suite, so recommend double-checking this point when booking. As we were the only guests staying that weekend, and the temperatures were cold, we did not access the lovely-looking screened verandah overlooking the expansive front lawn or some of the larger formal rooms. We did have full access to the TV / Library room, which was a little worn, but enjoyed making use of its DVD player and of the kitchen's butler's pantry. There was a small fridge upstairs by our room for the drinks & snacks we brought ourselves. We enjoyed wine in our room and Maria booked a table for us at a very nice restaurant, Mezzo, on Saturday night.

Breakfast was the highlight - fresh fruit, cheese omlette with Canadian ham and cinnamon-raisin french toast with blueberry compote and bacon to name just a part of what was whipped up for us each morning. The settings were formal but the feeling very relaxed. We especially enjoyed the B&B's location on the riverfront, as Windsor has several lovely walkways, parks and gardens along the river, which we made use of each day. Just a short drive from the city centre, the Tunnel and Ambassador Bridge and 15 mins drive from Windsor Airport, this was the perfect location for us to meet and unwind.
