This hotel is close to my office in Headingley, MB and since I haven't been to Winnipeg in a while I don't recall this place being here last time. I usually stayed at the Holiday Inn on Portage closer to Moray but for some reasons the week I was visiting the prices were much higher than in the past so I decided to give the BW a try. The room is great with nice furnishings and good wifi. The breakfast I had was decent with some good selections but the one thing I couldn't get past was the smell of chlorine in the lobby even right at the check in. I hate to say that the smell of chlorine such as pool chlorine or bleach makes me feel ill. It's one of the few smells for me that is a complete turn off and essentially I really dislike it. Unfortunately the water slide and pool area is just steps away from the check in counter and main exit so really, there's no avoiding it. Being that there's a Flying J just across the parking lot was nice. Besides having access to a Shell gas station (get them Air Miles), the convenience store there's also a Denny's for easy access just a walk away. The J is not attached to the hotel so yes you have to walk outside. This hotel has to do something about their parking lot though. I noticed just on their side of the Flying J alone there are some huge pools of water that seem to stay after rain or snow or melting of snow etc. The drainage here is not good. The parking lot in some areas are like walking around ponds. I parked in an area that was able to avoid this but I'd feel sorry for some having to walk into or near them just to get to their parked car after a melt or rain etc. I noticed there was a document in the room saying as how they have a breakfast and all but it also seemed to solicit good ratings looking for either 9 or 10's out of 10. The term "we hate 8's was mentioned actually. I don't know if that's a play on words as to be slyly directed towards Super 8 or the rating of 8's or below themselves but it just seems like fishing for good ratings. I like to give good ratings where good ratings are due and this place overall was a good place and a good stay. That pool and chlorine though, sorry but I couldn't stand being in the lobby very long. Thankfully the smell didn't linger to the breakfast area. The parking lot pools well that could be a safety concern if they freeze I suppose. Besides that the place is OK but because of the pool and my sensitivity for chlorine I don't think I'll stay here again. Although there were 4 lamps the lighting still seemed dim. I'm not sure if it was the bulbs or what but it didn't seem to be bright enough in the room. The nice touch was the reclining lazy boy chair. That was a nice addition to the room.

After staying 3 nights and swimming 6 times, 5 of those times included 10+ screaming children in the pool area with their parents sitting in chairs yelling at each other just to converse. We had to intentionally go swimming at about 1 pm (between check in and check out times) to actually get to use the pool, small slide, and yellow water hot tub. *** be warned, the hotel is very proud of letting people book birthday parties and other events, and letting everyone and their families and friends come use the pool. Very generous of them, except paying guests are the ones it costs, not the hotel.

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.

The only thing exceptional about this place is the road noise!! Paper thin walls on the street side. Parking is very very tight.... But I digress. Walking in to check in there were two young ladies and a flock of young men scurrying about outside and the ladies tried to check me in. I won't post what my vibes were as I have no solid proof. But needless to say.... Strike one. The room is quaint and clean. The bathroom is a disaster!! The shower head sprays over half the bathroom not being attached properly to the pipe. The toilet is old and sits very low on the ground. The only light is useless in working with the mirror. Sink is slammed in the corner and difficult to use. And it gets better..... When I went to make my mini coffee pot of coffee there was a USED FILTER in the coffee maker and a ceramic cup of coffee half full sitting next to it! I washed it all and at least made myself one cup of coffee using my own cup. Nasty. Unfortunately it's really a one star motel but I'm giving it 2 as the room, as much as it's small, is decent. Though the bed needs replacing in a bad way too.... Rough night..... I'd never return.

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.

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.
