Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was much smaller than expected and shown in the pictures, but the rooms, although tiny with only a shower and lacking some modern amenities due to the historical nature of the building, were surprisingly clean and offered a number of amenities such as nice robes.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms felt like little studio apartments, spacious, and well-equipped, with a bath and good quality products. The service was top-notch, from the front desk to the valet gentlemen, always nice and very helpful. The location couldn't have been better, right in the center of downtown, within walking distance to various attractions. The dining experience was delightful, offering a great buffet and authentic Italian pizza. The facilities were exceptional, making my stay truly enjoyable.
My stay was a mixed bag - the room was big and comfortable, decorated with a cute dog pillow and blanket for my pup, but unfortunately, the temperature control didn't work, leaving me feeling a bit chilly. The service was top-notch with a minor issue about the blind in my room, but they made up for it by helping me upgrade. The location was excellent, just a short walk from key spots. The dining was delicious, but the formality of the buffet was a bit off-putting. The facilities were great, but a bit pricey for what you get.
My stay at the hotel was delightful! The rooms were quiet and peaceful, looking very nice and modernized to a great extent. However, we did experience occasional tardiness and perfunctory service from the housekeeping staff. The overall ambiance was lovely, albeit with room for improvement.
I had a fabulous experience at this hotel! The food and service were outstanding, and the rooms, though a bit small, were comfortable, bright, and cozy, with an incredibly soft bed. However, the lack of a minibar was disappointing.
My stay at the historic hotel was quite memorable. The rooms, although a bit shabby looking due to their vintage, impressed me with the most comfortable beds and linens. The service was excellent, with a staff that attended to me right away, even helping me with my luggage before I finished paying the taxi. The location contributed to a wonderful stay, allowing easy access to River Walks, the Human Rights Museum, and the vibrant downtown area. The dining experience in the Historic Fairmont/CP style hotel was enjoyable, offering a wide variety of delicious foods. Overall, a great experience with a few minor drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were quite basic with small bathrooms and few amenities, they did offer an incredible view of the Forks, St Boniface, and the Human Rights Museum. The service was friendly overall, but there is room for improvement in training. The location was the highlight, being a short walk from various attractions. The dining experience was enjoyable, especially with the coffee service in the room. The facilities were sufficient, though nothing out of the ordinary.
