Hotels Near Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport in Winnipeg

We chose this hotel since my toddler wanted to go to the dinosaur water park, which he really enjoyed. My biggest concern is that they no longer provide room cleaning service (unless requested). I was never informed of this and was so confused by the second day that I finally went to the front desk to inquire why my room hadn't been cleaned. By this time the cleaning staff had left and I spent my last night cleaning my hotel room as the garbage bins were full and we had run out of towels (there is very limited space to hang towels in the bathroom). The front desk told me to place the towels and garbage in the hallway and that they would drop off supplies. Fresh towels and coffee refills were quickly dropped off, but my used towels and garbage sat in the hallway for about 12 hours. I was wondering why everyone had piles of towels and garbage outside their door! Not exactly the best ”covid-19” cleanliness protocol. I would have appreciated being informed of their cleaning protocols during the reservation or check-in process.

I called a week earlier as I booked 2 rooms and requested joining rooms and late check-in. We only stayed a night, a total of 10 hours in this hotel. Did not even use their amenities as we were all tired. The customer service on the phone promised me that I will get the joining rooms when we get there, but when we came, the evening front desk guy told me that we cannot have it. First of all, he did not even tell me that I would not have the joining rooms, he just gave me the keys. It was when I asked if these are the joining rooms that I requested for when he told me no. I asked why, and after looking for explanation in his computer for over 2 minutes (I know because I saw him timing himself on his phone), he said the AC is down. I told him it was disappointing as after 14 hours of being in the road, this is just all my kids were hoping for. He just shrugged his shoulders and said ”when you come back here, look for me and I will give you your request” and said sorry. The morning when I checked out, the nice Asian front desk lady who I talked to over the phone apologized for what happened. She did not know why the guy did not give me what I requested for. She even told me that she made a note in the computer that I should have the joining rooms and their manager approved of it. I gave 3 stars just because of how the lady handled the situation and cleanliness. The front desk guy did not do his best and what we are always trained for in hospitality ”go above and beyond.” I do not want anything from this hotel, but I just wanted to let you know that they need a training for customer care. -- Oh, and no lotions provided in the bathrooms.

It was such a seamless experience for a short-term feeling home like stay. Val is such a gentle lady and really care for you as a special family member. You can find a home-made small piece of chocolate on your bed, enjoy the warmth of a cozy outdoor hot tub. See the photo. Feel like home is what they are trying hard every day to make you that footprint in every details that you will see in this rental property. I named it a value-for-every-penny experience that was hardly to hard from anywhere in the world, but a place to feel like home managed by 2 generous & warm-hearted women. I don’t want to write too much because probably I could not book them next time. LOL

Very Impressed with The Mere Hotel Great Location Excellent rooms , clean , upscale Definitely a must stay location when in Winnipeg. Visit the CIBO Waterfront Cafe located right beside the hotel. Tremendous service, superb food and eclectic atmosphere.

The hotel is very clean and tidy, and the decoration is relatively modern. The location is definitely the best, the area is very lively at night and very safe. Opposite the Human Rights Museum, the view is superb. There are plenty of parking spaces, but the price is a bit expensive. The only downside is that there is no swimming pool.

Our experience in the restarant area for the morning free breakfast was excellent. Not only the delicious breakfast, tThe host of the restaurant I believe i heard her name was Bev, was very friendly. Also make sure that we were provided with a fantastic breakfast. She started our day with a smile, and much firendliness while we enjoyed it there. Please let ”Bev” we appreciate her kindness and friendly hospitality in this Winnipeg restaurant.

Hotel is difficult to get to with construction and the parking is not convenient. The area is a high crime location and it can be very uncomfortable around the area. Hotel was packed with people. We were informed many were staying because they were displaced, or coming from out of country. Which is completely fine, and only an issue for the sheer volume of people and families living long term in the building and in the small reception area. There was only 2 elevators working and one was broken for a while, there were long lines to access the elevator. Staff were obviously exhausted and mostly indifferent. There was security but the area and hotel did not feel secure. It was a very loud, cramped, hectic one night stay for us.

This is not really a Hotel, it's a Motel and the room lacked a bathroom sink counter so we were using the toilet seat for our shave kit and my wife’s cosmetic kit until the dental floss feel on the bathroom floor, then went outside to a mirror in the room that had very little light so could not see oneself in the mirror. No fan in the bathroom so everything was steamed up anyways…The Super8 we stayed at last night was far, far better a Motel. The breakfast is in a tiny room smaller than my closet at home... I am not kidding. I have been waiting ten minutes in line to just get in there while a family of six is preparing their breakfast , toasting toast and goodness knows what else! That is really ridiculous to put all the breakfast food in a closet, like who does that?? I am sure it reduces the interest and food consumption and saves the Chinese proprietress allot of expense on food? The location is way out of the way and the only reason we came was the rating on Expeditia and here combined with the low room cost… so for $89 the room was as expected and the breakfast far worse.

Very clean, personable staff from Housekeeping to Maintenance to Booking/Courtesy Desk. I’m so impressed with this hotel that I recommend the staff get a raise or at least a nice perk of some kind. I have never stayed in a better hotel. I cannot rave about it enough. Everyone is so kind, helpful and smiling. We stayed in a room with a kitchenette but had food that needed the oven. Teresa even heated up our chicken! It’s too bad we live so far away as this would be the perfect place to stay on a regular basis. Kudos to all!

I booked a room at this location to have a night’s rest while driving across Canada. This hotel is conveniently located near the highway and food establishments. After a long day of driving we arrived at this hotel for the night. I found the bed had been made up; however clearly not changed. There were many hairs on the sheets and the bedspread. The gentleman working at the front desk came down to see it and immediately brought fresh linens. Changing the bed was the last thing I felt like doing after a day of driving. When I travel, I always bring cleaning wipes and do my own surface clean, especially since COVID. I was mortified to see how dirty the wipes were after wiping off the desk and counter. It was bad enough that I brought the wipes to the front desk to show the gentleman working. If it wasn’t for the apologies and pleasant demeanour of the gentleman working at the front desk I would have packed up and left. Unfortunately, someone not doing their job can reflect negatively on the whole establishment. I would highly recommend management doing regular checks. I do have to say once settled the bed was comfortable and the room was quiet. There is an odour of stale cigarette smoke, likely from people smoking outside the patio doors. All of the front staff were very pleasant. This was the first Choice Hotel that I was actually acknowledged as a Diamond member. I can’t speak about breakfast options as I was gone early. Would I stay again, no. The manager did reverse my charges for the inconvenience.
