The hotel location is a bit confusing for those not familiar with Winnipeg but offers a central position within walking distance of historic downtown and the river 'Forks'. Some unsavory characters linger around, though. The dining experience was great, and the proximity to MTS Centre is a plus.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were very clean, but there was a lingering smell of mould, cigarettes, and beer. The service was really welcoming and polite, especially during check-in and check-out. The location was central, right on the edge of the exchange district, although there were some issues with loitering homeless people. The dining experience was slow, but the shower water was delightfully hot. Overall, it was a peculiar joint to stay in.

The hotel room I stayed in was very different from what I booked and was extremely poor in terms of cleanliness and overall condition. The smell was unpleasant, the furniture was old, and I couldn't even connect to the WiFi. I couldn't bear staying past 3 pm and left without even having breakfast the next day.

Staying at the hotel was quite a mixed experience for me. On one hand, the rooms were a lot nicer, especially since I stayed in their 'executive' wing, which required a card for entry. However, the pervasive smell of cigarettes throughout was a notable downside. Despite having availability after confirmation, I had to request additional pillows twice.

The service was a mixed bag for me. While the staff was generally helpful and friendly, there was a slight defensive attitude when I asked them to reset the router. Additionally, the initial error in charging a $300 deposit, though later corrected to $200, was a bit of a hassle.

Location

The location of the hotel was actually quite convenient for my needs. It was just a 2-minute walk to the MTS Center and perfect for my business trip, especially with the downtown Winnipeg meeting. However, the parkade was quite expensive, and there were some questionable individuals around the hotel.
