Windsor Florida Hotel
Everything is fine at the hotel and excellent location, it’s near the metro, shopping and groceries. The bad part is the internet, very poor WiFi signal.

Very clean, staff were very courteous and attentive. The hotel smells amazing. Breakfast was delicious. Reception staff spoke English and were always very friendly. The staff that did not speak English were very patient with me using google translate. Also love the 24/7 security.
