Our 2nd stay in as many years. Winston is great for large rooms, convenient location and parking, pet friendly, and bright, eclectic decor borrowed from Kit Kemp Designs at the very upscale Firmdale Hotels in London and NY.
But this is an old converted wood frame structure with a few negatives: Room 12 is right over Fitzpatrick bar and morning deliveries of idling diesel trucks are annoying. Doors and windows are far from soundproof in fact the light wind blew the sheer drapes inside with the doors locked. Water pressure is abysmal - I get the water saving needed in this dry area, but it was challenging to rinse the soap off with so little water - the stream was “droopy”.
No staff - virtual digital check in which was fine; friendly text exchanges. Honor bar and in-room Nespresso machine is nice but a little skimpy on the coffee creamers provided.
A dressing mirror would have been nice - and there is plenty of room - we both had to get ready for a wedding in front of the one bathroom mirror over the sink.
I would say Winston is a great concept and thoughtfully executed, but a little more TLC and attention to details above is called for. But, with only a cleaner - no front desk, no manager on site, it feels like “out of sight, out of mind” might be a factor.
