Winnipeg Homestays

Enjoy a peaceful and relaxing stay-cation at the Holiday Inn - Airport West! Welcoming and friendly service, spacious and spotless room, silky sheets on the king bed, and excellent amenities in the room. Despite the pandemic, we were able to use the pool - an efficient and fair sign-up process gave us 1 hour/day (could have been more). The continental breakfast was not included, but the location is excellent and we could easily walk across the street for sushi & bubble tea, pizza, steak, and more! Also a Shoppers Drug Mart and Liquor Mart right across the street. And, if you want some exercise, this hotel is a close jaunt to the beautiful Assiniboine Park & Zoo!

We spent two midweek nights here. This lovely downtown hotel was built in 1913, and has a beautiful early 20c lobby. If you stay in an historic hotel, you have to understand that some things will not be as good as staying at a modern hotel. For example, bedrooms and bathrooms will often be smaller, there may not be a pool, etc. But for us, being a part of history is enjoyable, and we've stayed in many hotels with an historic background. We found the Fort Garry to be a lovely place---the historic vibe is definitely there. The hotel's location is great---you can walk to the riverside Forks Historic District, with its famous market, museums, etc. And the hotel is only a block from the historic railroad station. Yes, our room was a bit small, but the bed was comfortable. We asked for a room with a good view, and got one on the 5th floor with a nice view of the railroad station and garden areas nearby. The staff here were exceedingly friendly, from the front desk staff to the restaurant servers. For example, our breakfast server from the previous day made a special effort to come over and talk to us the next day, even though she was not our server that day. Really good effort to make you feel comfortable! The hotel has a very nice fitness room, but no pool (you can pay for pool privileges at an adjacent building). The beautiful hotel restaurant (Oval Room) also reeks of history. We had breakfast there two times and dessert (not dinner) once. It's highly rated, and the food was very good. Parking here can be an issue. You can self-park on a fairly small one floor lot on the hotel's first floor, or down below in a basement garage. The first floor lot often fills up with patrons of the restaurant or business functions, but the basement lot was never full, and we used that one on both nights of our stay. Just note that the basement garage has no elevator. Overall, we had a delightful stay at the Fort Garry.

The stay in the hotel was very good. Location is a bit outside but still very fine. Breakfast buffet was very good. Super friendly staff

AMAZING! Take it from a well-seasoned traveler, this hotel has everything you need and more. From a courteous welcome from the evening hotel front desk agent, to a relaxing bed and refreshments available in the lobby 24/7, I think this is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in. Breakfast was beyond amazing- hot options (scrambled eggs, bacon, pancakes), the staff went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was great. The gym was great, hot tub also top notch. Another reason I liked this hotel was that it was very quiet- its not popular with kids and I love that. Most people lodging here are travelers passing by or workers who make for great neighbors. Everyone is fast asleep after what I presume must have been a hard days work or drive. The only con for me is that the location is too far west. But this is a pro for travelers coming off the perimeter. 5 STAR service at a super affordable price, a no-brainer. BOOK NOW!

Room was clean, modern, and quite. We were at the end of a hall, so that probably helped. We stayed in a bi-level King suite, which I would highly recommend. The view from the room was not pretty, just a roof of an adjacent building. However we are not in Winnipeg to look out the hotel room window. Bed was very comfortable and the excellent water pressure in the shower was wonderful. At night, the living room area was rather dark and could use a lighting upgrade. Hotel staff were very friendly, from the breakfast (they should have a sign saying ”please seat yourself” - as guests sometimes wait a while for host to come over and tell them to seat where ever they want) to the pleasant staff at the front desk. Always lots of staff at reception, so no waiting. Although we didn't use the pool area, we looked at it, and it was one of the most appealing looking hotel pools we've ever seen. We used the attached underground parking for 5 days - no issues. Parking area is quite large with numerous levels, would seem to be ample space. Easy in/out access throughout the day.

The disinfectant water in the hotel corridor tastes very heavy, and it also smells moldy. The room is generally hygienic, but this hotel has a super large water slide, very suitable for bringing a baby, parking is also convenient

We fled here after being evacuated from the Marlborough due to an ”emergency fumigation operation.” It's just down the street, which means same great location! Also, while one night here cost almost as much as three nights at the Marl (lol), after our experience there the professionalism was worth it. Remote / TV weren't working, but a call downstairs sent a friendly guy up who was quick to fix it. Highly recommended if you need a place downtown in the Peg.

We stayed here for a night on a quick family trip. Room wasn't bad, but did have a smoke smell even though it was a smoke free room. Hotel was fairly loud with a couple of volleyball teams staying there and teenaged girls stomping up and down the halls most of the night. Breakfast room was quite crowded, but the food was pretty good. Staff were super friendly upon check in. Overall, ok stay.
