Someone behind the counter said that the next time I stay I should ask to have a room on the fourth floor because it's meant to be especially quiet. I was told they won't put kids or pets on that floor. Not so! There were kids running up and down the halls and I had to call the front desk about it. I paid extra money to get a fancier suite and I certainly don't appreciate not being able to enjoy it after paying that extra money. I mean who would? The excuse I got earlier, when I called the front desk before the 10 o'clock quiet time, was that the motel is full and people are checking in. But why all the thumping and banging and scraping?! I don't make hardly any noise at all. Why are other guests making so much noise? I was exhausted and wanted to sleep around 5 to 6 in the evening but I was kept awake by the constant noise. Unfortunately, the front desk didn't seem to care. They gave me false and/or misleading information. That's why I'm not giving a very good review and I won't recommend this place to anyone.

Tip: Print out your train ticket…read more A friend of mine used ChatGPT to generate a travel itinerary for his upcoming trip. At my workplace, we have our standard AI tool and I'm currently testing a potential AI tool to replace our intranet site's global search tool. With my trip to Winnipeg, I decided to use both tools to create a travel itinerary. Seeing the output would be cool, as I know the city well, minus whatever is new that I'm not aware of. I asked my work AI tool to create a Winnipeg itinerary for the dates that I'd be in the city. I liked that there was a lot of flexibility with the suggestions made. It had everything that I have already visited, except for taking a train from Rosser to Grosse Isle. It was new to me. Prairie Dog Central Railway provided the train ride to and from both places on a heritage train, and more. The excursion would take a few hours, and only occurs on Saturdays and Sundays, with the occasional holiday Monday trip here and there. I decided to give it a try. I went on its online site and booked a ticket for a Saturday in early July. I was able to select the train car and seat that I wanted. The departure time was 11 am. However, it recommends that you get there thirty minutes early to park and check in. The online ticket had a QR code. It also recommended that you print your ticket out. I thought that I'd be fine with the QR code. I later found out that it wasn't. The train departs from Inkster Junction Station, which is in Rosser, north of Winnipeg. The backroads to get to this station are dirt roads. Expect your vehicle to look dusty and dirty, depending on whether rain has fallen hours earlier. A friendly male staffer gave me a tip on where to park. He was helpful. I backed into a spot and headed over to the station. There are washrooms behind the station. I used the sole washroom in the station next to ticketing. It was clean. I used it after the excursion, too. There's a gift shop. I used it to get a cold drink after I returned to Rosser. It hit the spot. It accepts cash, and credit and debit cards. You board the train roughly fifteen minutes before the departure time. I found the car number that I needed to board. I presented my ticket's QR code on my phone to the woman helping with boarding. She said to go to ticketing and get a physical ticket. Nowhere on my online ticket did it say that you must have a physical ticket. It recommended to print it out, but it didn't indicate that a conductor comes around to each passenger to punch your physical ticket. It was a bit archaic, but more clarity beforehand would have been better. The lineup at ticketing took a while. I wasn't the only one who needed a paper one. I eventually got one. During the trip up to Grosse Isle, the conductor punched it. Maybe it was for the full old-school experience. I headed back to board the train. The woman placed a square box to make boarding easier. It would be a challenge to board this train if you require a walker or wheelchair. It's an old train, which has cons: - If you're tall, there isn't a whole lot of leg room when you are seated. - You will die if it's a scorching-hot day. There is no air conditioning. You open the windows with the two clamps on either side of each window. - There are washrooms on the train, but they are only for emergencies. I did my good deed by swapping my seat with someone so she could sit with her three family members. The downside was that I ended up sitting across from a young kid who kept on kicking my knees. Part of me wanted to kick her right back, but I didn't want screaming. Her parents were teachers, but didn't do a whole lot to stop the kick-fest. The mom spoke in German. The husband talked in English about problem-solving. Weird. The train ride isn't fast. It takes an hour between Rosser and Grosse Isle. I got to see a lot of canola and cars stopped as we crossed. It was fun waving to folks who didn't seem annoyed. I liked Grosse Isle. It was cash-only to get hot dogs, smokies, and pretty much everything. There were vendors selling art and more. I got a hot dog and a smokie. I then had to go to the canteen to get a drink. A magician was headlining our experience as we stuffed our faces. He was great. I returned to the canteen to get a rather large grape Mr Freeze. The woman asked me if I wanted her to cut the top of it. I said yes because no one wants to see me savagely rip the top off with my teeth. It was nice making this woman and her colleague laugh. The washrooms were a trailer setup, but extremely clean and nice. One male kid in front of one of them said that he wanted to live in it. Yep, it was that nice. We got word that boarding the train back to Rosser had started. With all the windows down as the train moved was delightful on a 22°C day. I endured the evil kid in front of me kicking. I was so happy when the ride was over and I was free. It was fun, minus evil kid. The train museum at Inkster was fun! (276)

Thanks to delays…read moredue to freight trains (VIA leases the tracks and CN trains have priority), we rolled into Winnipeg late in the evening. Our stay time was drastically reduced which pretty much meant that any plans to see "The Forks" or otherwise wander around were limited to walking around the block or through the back parking lot. Here are some positives: - The classic part of Union Station looks as good as ever. - The Canadian Museum of Human Rights building looks great all lit up.

After getting some snacks from the Forks Market I returned to the station to await my train. It is a nice building although it is under restoration at the moment so you don't have access to much. There are a couple of waiting areas and wi-fi is available in the front lobby but not the waiting area back towards the platforms. The station doesn't have much to do or any food for sale so if you are waiting for a train for a little bit its well worth going exploring.

My sister and I recently stayed in the Henry Moore room here. This was our first trip to Winnipeg…read moreand staying here definitely made our trip special! The house was just beautiful and decorated warmly for Christmas. The room and private bath was spacious, had a very comfortable bed, and included a small fridge, microwave, TV & DVDs, wireless internet, and an outdoor patio. The food was INCREDIBLE. Our first evening there, we enjoyed a wonderful homemade pastry and some sherry by the warm fireplace. I wish I could have those pastries again. The breakfasts were just grand. The help yourself area includes things like coffee & orange juice, delicious hot porridge & cereals, assorted breads & spreads, yogurt & fresh fruit, and other appetizer type foods such as smoked salmon, mushrooms filled with cream cheese and wrapped in sausage, spanakopita, grilled vegetables, and antipasto. THEN you get the hot entree. Our first day, we had the most amazing egg and cheese quiche I've ever had in my life. It was topped with some ridiculously good sauce. The second day, we had Mexican omelets that were light and fluffy and served with a garden of fresh cilantro, tomatoes, and lettuce on top. The real beauty of staying here is getting to know April, the owner, and listen to her knowledge of Winnipeg and advice on what to enjoy in the area. She is truly a gem. We really appreciated that she would come sit with us and chat whenever we came downstairs; we learned so many interesting things from her. And, she is an incredible cook; she should have a cookbook. We will definitely only stay here for all of our future trips to Winnipeg!
