One thing I do like about small towns is the great comfort food available…read more Parking is available along Park. Those who are observant will also notice that the other side of the parking lot was the location of the first air mail flight in Manitoba (1927). Look for the stone mini-monument. The inside looks like most other small-town pubs, with the dated wood paneling. The bar itself is on a raised area at the back. There is a dance floor as well, but it seemed like nobody used it. There is an actual mini-liquor store in the very back, around the back of the bar counter. Good to know as the local MLCC (government liquor store) closes early most days. The other thing to mention is that this hotel also has a Chinese restaurant, accessed through a side door next to the bar counter. See my review of Lake View Restaurant. On Fridays and Saturdays, there is a steak night. Seriously, you have to hit this up. I had the 16oz T-bone. This dish comes with onion rings and coleslaw by default. You can pick between wedges and fries (I chose wedges). The steak is one of the better ones in recent memory. No gristle or tendons, and a very decent cut. Served with sauteed mushrooms on top. The bun was meh, and the onion rings and potato wedges were also nothing special. I enjoyed the coleslaw though. Really liked how they didn't drown the thing in dressing. 4 stars for the steak, and 3.5 stars after factoring in the sides.

I'm a bit torn up on how many stars to give this place. There are 3 hotels in Lac du Bonnet, and…read moreI've been told repeatedly that the Glenn Howard is the best of the 3. Yes it's decent.. in a very mediocre way. I'd give this place 2.5 stars if compared to a similar motel in an urban area, but that wouldn't be a fair comparison. Parking is plentiful. As in I didn't see any other cars at all in the lot. (where is Lac du Bonnet again?) The inside is really dated (1980s). The lobby reminded me of someone's living room. The place is run by a Korean family. Somewhat friendly but there's a little bit of a language barrier. The rooms do feel a bit on the ghetto side. There are drill holes in the wall, there's no bathroom fan (there's a switch in the bathroom that doesn't seem to do anything), and the carpets are a bit grungy. However, the bathroom is clean. There was also a microwave in my room. The best part of the hotel? The pool and hot tub. We had the whole place to ourselves. Great place to chat and drink beer (though glass containers aren't allowed in the area, shhhh..) However.. the hot tub water has an oil sheen. Yes, a visible slick. I had to try REALLY hard not to think about it. Do NOT drink the water by accident. The pool water looked okay though. Lastly, the hotel restaurant (Laura's) serves pretty decent diner/comfort food. I've had the breakfast a couple of times, and the prices are reasonable. This place is no Hilton, it does do the job.. somewhat.

I wish there was less than one star. If I didn't have to be up in 6 hours for work, I would have…read moremoved to a new hotel. The first room had a horrible mould smell, and green fur growing on the shelf in the fridge. I set my things down, and went to hot tub (the reason I picked this hotel in Lac du Bonnet). It was cooler than I would set my own tub, and the jets so weak that it didn't even circulate the water. I stayed only 5 minutes, when I can normally soak forever. Going back to front desk, the door to get out the front closed at 9:30pm. So I went back to room, and called the front desk. The lady came to check it out, and looked at the water leak and mould in room, so she tried to communicate, but after several attempts, she left. In 5 minutes the man that checked me in came with a new key to move me to a noisy room right next to manager suite with their young boys. At least there was no foul odour, so I settled in. They say there is WiFi, but no password is provided. The sink leaks, the tub doesn't plug. The carpets need stretching, bed sheets are clean but very wrinkled. I think this is the first room I've been in with no coffee pots..... The beds are hard. I came by myself, just to sleep before an early morning shift. Very plain linens, mid 90's decor.. I am by myself this time, but work per diem nursing all over middle province. Definitely won't waste my money again. The only good thing was front desk staff were pleasant despite languages, the pool area was great, even if water was too cold. Room was warm which helped with taking off bitter chill.

Imagine my surprise when I found this town in the middle of the sticks has a Chinese restaurant…read more No way? Parking is available in front on the street, as well as in a nice large lot across the road. The entrance to this place is really weird. I couldn't find a direct entrance from the outside at all. I got in here by following a passageway from the adjacent bar (completely separate establishment). The owners are from Guangdong, and spoke Cantonese. Authenticity test passed. Somewhat. Being from a small town, obviously they won't have access to the same Asian ingredients as establishments in a larger city. So one must obviously cut them some slack. Same with the authenticity. The dishes are comparable to what you'd find in a food court, such as lemon chicken, Singaporean-style rice, wonton soup, deep fried wontons, sweet and sour spare ribs, and chop suey. As I went in with this expectation, it was met.

I've tried several items here now over the course of a few visits and have never been disappointed…read more Each dish has consistantly good flavors. If this restaurant was located in Winnipeg, it would be my go-to restsaurant. I look forward to it every time I come to Lac Du Bonnet!

There are only a couple restaurants in Richer. I had lunch at Lagimodière Restaurant, which is…read morepart of the Richer Motor Inn Hotel (the restaurant is on the right and the Cat Sass Tavern is on the left). It's not a big restaurant ... there were ladies from the Red Hat Society having lunch. I ordered the Lagimodière burger, fries and gravy. I replaced the processed cheese with mozzarella cheese. It was a big burger with two patties. The patties, though tasty, were fried a bit too much (the meat was a bit dry and the outside done too much) but it was made with real burger which was a nice change. The fries were good as was the gravy.

I just bought a hat from the CAT SASS TAVERN at the Richer Inn…read more The Richer Inn has been there for many years,as I'm not big into the bar seen I don't spend much time in there. The Restaurant has good food and it is pleasing to the palate. It is easy to exit from the highway and back on again with a small hotel for travelers that pass through on their way east or west.

On to the review: It's a secluded setting, peaceful, and quiet enough once the truck traffic dies down at night on the TCH. Nice accommodations, slightly iffy wireless, but the one problem I noticed is that the rooms are generally left open, including windows and floor vents. You'll want to close all of these when you arrive, but it means there are a few bugs in the room. Unfortunately, that takes away from an otherwise fine stop for the night. If you have trouble finding the woman to check in with, people are known to open a door to an empty room and leave a night's worth of money when they go. It's not like the city no one's going to take what's not theirs. A fine country alternative to heading as far west as Winnipeg.
