Once again Brandon and his staff made us feel welcome with smiles on their faces and top notch service! The service in the bar was quick and the Nachos were fantastic again! The room was comfortable, and the breakfast the next morning was hot and delicious. We will be back!

We were very surprised at how lovely everything was, and at a reasonable price. The room is a bit dated, but clean and quiet. The towels were fresh and clean and newer! Very soft. The breakfast was phenomenal! The one issue we had with the door in the bathroom.... it was promptly fixed when broght to the attention of the hotel. Staff was kind and very responsive to us. Also, you had good coffee! That's rare for a hotel. We will be back!

I can tell by far this is one of my best experiences in a hotel, services was outstanding, the rooms were so clean and tidy, they offer free coffee and microwave for your food, the bathroom was super clean and nice, is a 10/10 in that terms, however we experienced a terrible 7 nights of noise and freak people, since the hotel host these "red cross" people who were super annoying at 2 or 3 am in the mornings which was really out of control they fought outside on the hallway, smashing doors and walls, yelling that crazy to each other, and that was happening from 15th Feb 26 to 21 Feb 26, I complain to front desk and the sweet lady who actually was very worried about it said that they would talk to them and see how can they could do something about it, but she said clearly not even police will tell something as they are "special" guests who lost their houses, I mean Im also a human but if they don't respect the place that hold them and provides shelter and food, but instead fight and create noise like no other people is on the room next to them for 7 freaking nights... this nos not about having compassion for others, is just about they not being respectful nor being grateful... anyways bad experience but always staff willing to make your stay better day by day.

The staff was amazing! Friendly and helpful. I brought my doggy and they gave my furbaby a box of goodies which included treats, poop bags and holder, leash and more! Breakfast (free) was good and was delivered to my room!! I felt spoiled! The room was a little small and had a slight musty smell. The location was good, but the parking lot is a bit hidden in behind off of another street. Overall I was impressed and would recommend and visit again.

I picked staying here because of price. While out on the road for business, I care less about things than when out for holiday. For choosing it just for price, it's pretty nice. Room is clean, modern looking, firm mattress and good shower pressure. It's removed from tourist attractions etc, but if you have transportation you could get to those places.

If your looking for a cozy place to stay while your in winnipeg then this is the place to stay. Very good value for the two nights we stayed here. Upon our check in to our room we were prompted with a friendly checkup from the front desk to see if we needed anything. The beds are cozy and the esthetics are intriguing. They offer a free warm breakfast per guest and they have several options to choose from. We enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you.
