Hotels Near FortWhyte Alive in Winnipeg

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

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.

The hotel is very close to the airport, just a few minutes drive, the health is very good, the staff are very polite, the breakfast is not much, but the taste is very good, and it is different every day, the room is very big, there is a kitchen dishwasher, do it yourself The meal is very convenient, the hotel also has free parking and a self-service laundry room and a free gym. There is a big supermarket not far from the hotel, really recommended, very cost-effective hotel

Very pleased - we stayed 2 nights before our flight and upon return from our vacation. We were away for 2 weeks and the vehicle parking was included with the room. Rooms and hotel were comfy and clean, shuttle to and from airport were quick and prompt. Very friendly staff, clean pool area and good breakfast selection which is also included. Will absolutely stay again.

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.

Didn’t want to pay the high prices downtown so opted for this hotel with relatively easy access to downtown. This is an older place that has been kept up fairly. The rooms all have a hallway out front of the room which then looks at the pool, hallway or outside. Parking is included in the room price and there is a large lot. Two story hotel with stairs, not sure if there is an elevator. The pool looked nice and there was a family enjoying it when I looked. We had a double queen room, two queens, microwave, Keurig coffee maker, fridge (noisy as sits on the counter, not on the floor), efficient bathroom with necessary amenities including hair dryer. Enough hangers, ironing board, complimentary wifi, TV, cable, table, 3 chairs, clock and decent lighting. Beds were soft, 3 large pillows each bed. Continental breakfast included, boiled eggs, yogurt, bagels, bread (toast), cream cheese, jams, cereal, coffee, waffles and juices, nicely laid out basic but filling. Great location, beer store next door, Freshco and Sals also nearby. Across the street is Superstore and more shopping a short drive away. No real problems but for some reason housekeeping came into the room when my wife was sleeping and there was a “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door, they obviously missed it. Stayed a second time in July, upper level room, 203 which faces Fermor so a bit of road noise but not a problem. The bar smokers that congregate outside made more noisy than the traffic. The roof was being redone so when we arrived the room had a bit of a tar smell but diminished over time. The next morning, they were working around 7 so there was roof noise. The hotel warned us but we stayed and overall not a problem, they didn’t work on Sat and Sun. The work has to be done sometime. Large room, 2 queens, fridge, microwave, Keurig, bathroom w. tub/shower and the usual stuff. My wife thought the room needed a little work, some water stains on the ceiling (probably why they were working on the roof) and the sitting chairs could have used a cleaning. We had Room 203 with a view of the front parking lot and Fermor. Still have complimentary breakfast as listed above. Overall a good value hotel for a short stay, we’ll stay again sometime.

The hotel location is at Winnipeg's heart with excellent service, clean rooms, and reasonable prices. We couldn't find something more attractive on our budget. We could walk at the Forks and enjoy a nice meal, and walk around the stores. Also, we had a great visit to the humane museum just around the corner. Thank you, Humphry Inn.

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.

On the whole my experience was very good. I was told I would have a certain room but upon arrival another identical room was provided. When I made the reservation I asked for an early check in, as I have a physical disability, and was told they would do their best to accomodate me. It did take longer than expected even after I arrived an hour later than planned but it was still ”early”. Noah is a Star at the front desk and was super helpful and professional while delivering a genuine and personable demeanor. Later I received a call from another representative at the front desk asking how the room was, which is a nice touch and I arranged for a ”Wake-Up Call” for the next morning. The ”Wake-Up Call” was not delivered though. The noise of the operating elevators was noticeable. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The toilet was very low to the ground;one of the lowest I've ever seen but the shower and the finishes in the Bathroom were very good. I would definitely stay there again. Details are so important and when they are not performed well it lets the entire Team down. Quality service at any price- point is worth the effort just as is a Quality pay-scale. Reputation is Everything.

The staff and and servers for the breakfast were amazingly helpful. The quality and variety of the food was excellent. We were surprised by the fresh omelets served for breakfast. The rooms were spacious and very clean. The server at the desk offered to help me with getting wifi on my phone which I did not have.
