They brought me hot water and an assortment of tea. Thank you!! ( and no charge) Some unpleasant things We found the bed very soft ( and prefer firm bed). They have some rooms with firmer tempurpedic mattresses, but they are above and below an event space that had events planned during our stay and the staff said people report they hear the party When a room opened up after parties were done they did not remember to give to us, though they said they would When we returned for 1 night, they DID assign us a room with a better mattress (219), though it was not tempurpedic. It was more firm. We are in an adjoining room (338) and the person next door is showering and blowing their nose nonstop. It's like I'm right in the shower with him. Other guests also complained about hearing entire conversations from the rooms next door. Excellent location as it's a quick walk to The Forks for food and entertainment, plus the river walk area for running, skating, walking or biking.

This used to be THE place everyone wanted to stay. With over 100 years of (haunted) history, it was…read moreonce the elegance of Winnipeg. It's clear that the current owner has tried to update the place to look more like a Motel 6 than what this beautiful building should be. Cheap renovations and tacky Target bargain furniture and light fixtures have stripped this place of its charm and history. All of the beautiful wood in the unit is painted white now and the hallways are a horrible and depressing dark grey. The furniture is cheap and over sized for the rooms. Room 619 had a bed so tall we had to ask to switch rooms. The front desk suggested they bring us a step ladder instead. Seriously?! We finally switched to 808 which had two regular sized beds that were a normal height and we didn't have to be watched as we went to the bathroom. Not sure why washrooms that face other units don't have window coverings! There are absolutely no amenities in the rooms. No fridge. An $8 plastic bottle of water. A Nespresso with coffee only. You have to ask for tea if you want it. Toiletries in the bathroom need revisiting. They're the same ones from 2010 from L'Occitane; tired, dated and horribly scented. More hotels have switched to more sustainable and options but here, you will still get a shoe mitt and shower cap. One bonus was two robes in each room. There is a small gym but no access to a pool. You can pay $12 next door. Apparently yoga is included, but no one told us about that upon check in for our weeklong stay. The wifi didn't work after the first night and staff weren't overly helpful about it. At $252 a night, this is not what we were expecting. Had we known how downhill this place has gone, we'd have opted for the Holiday Inn. Parking is $22 a night and the front entrance is permanently occupied by crowds of smokers. It's absolutely disgusting. This place is for sale so we really hope that the new buyer will help bring this beauty back from the depths of sadness.

It is a pleasant enough place. My only concern is parking. If you hunt for you will see there is a…read more$23 parking fee on the website. However, the parking lot is very small maybe 15 cars would fit in it. Your parking is not guaranteed. If you go out for dinner and the parking lot is full you have to park on the street even though you paid for parking. Parking spots cannot be reserved. The fact that it isn't very clear on the website and they can't guarantee parking for such a large hotel is disappointing to say the least. I told the front desk I will not stay here again. It should be noted that the lot is heavily monitored, and you can be towed from the lot if you're not registered with the hotel or a nearby business. The room is large and clean.

I'm updating this to 3 stars because they at least moved us to a different room with a less noisy…read moreAC. Granted, this was after being told they were going to upgrade us to a river-view room, and then when we went to get the keys to move our stuff they took that back saying they didn't have a non-noisy river-view room. We did manage to get spots in the parking lot on the following two nights, but only barely - getting the last spot each time. They have less than twenty spaces so you need to get lucky. Honestly outside of the specific things I've listed I liked everything else about the Mere. However, would I stay here again? No. Even the "quiet" AC room they moved us to was still noisier than I'd like, and the parking situation is abysmal. When I'm vacation I shouldn't be having to game whether it'll be okay to drive somewhere because I might not be able to park again when I get back.

I came to Winnipeg for a business trip and stayed on the Fairmont Gold floor for a week. My…read moreexperience at this hotel was hands down the best I've ever had. It was my first time visiting Canada and the staff went above and beyond to celebrate my arrival. My room was wonderful, I had great views of the city and the bed was extremely comfortable- I didn't want to leave! Staying on Fairmont's gold floor had me feeling as if I were royalty. I loved the breakfast spread and the evening appetizers served in the lounge. Food was so fresh and you could tell it was all prepared in house by the chefs. I ordered room service a few times and this is how I fell in love with Winnipegs famous honey dill sauce. The one factor that made my stay unforgettable was how kind and attentive the staff are. From the doormen, housekeeping, Fairmont gold team members and general manager- they all truly made my stay so very special. The hospitality displayed at this hotel is unlike anything I've ever experienced before. Anytime I am in Winnipeg, the Fairmont is the only place for me.

Summary: Decent hotel with friendly staff but could use some modernization…read more Details: Lobby is small but attractive. Bonus points that you can reach the next door Elephant and Castle pub without going back outside. Lobby Starbucks had an actual barista but not breakfast food. Lobby restaurant opens for weekday breakfast from 7-11am and serves pretty good food. Rooms are ok but lack extra amenities. Bed and pillows are comfortable so that alone was almost worth 4 stars. Wifi works well. But closet is tiny. There's no safe. Toilet paper is sandpaper. Toilet itself had flushing issues. Gym is tiny without many machines. Smells of chlorine from the pool next door. People were nice. Would I stay here again? Yes Do I wish it was a little nicer? Also yes

Parking is simple, all the way down on the basement on the "green" level - nice thing about parking down there is the car is warm in the morning! Property is clean & quiet even when it's sold out on game day! Room is functional w a tub/shower (not my fav) combo in the small bathroom. Towels are decent and water for shower is hot! I appreciate the electric tea kettle in the room. Club on 12th floor is solid - I like there is attendant there for breakfast. Breakfast is decent: pancakes, croissant, scrambled eggs, sausage links. During the day that are soft drinks, chips and cookies. Again always very clean. Friendly service all around & and Elephant and Castle in the same building. I am a fan!!

The staff is amazing, always asking if we need anything and always smiling and they are always busy doing something. I have yet to see them standing around just chatting or leaning on a counter looking bored. I would hire these people any day. The free breakfast is good. Everything is hot that should be and tastes pretty good as well. The location is close to the forks and the Skywalk and under ground shopping. When we came back last night security was walking the parking lot. I'm not sure if it was to make sure no one parked without a ticket in their window or for our safety but either way we were able to get a spot and felt safe going into the hotel. And as always the security was smiling and asked us how our evening was. We will stay here next time we are in Winnipeg.
