We weren’t informed that there would be construction outside our pet friendly room (which smelled strong of dog urine) and were woken up to loud, cussing construction workers and banging extremely early.
We also found a used syringe by our parked car and informed the front desk when we arrived for our evening.
Next morning it was still there.
Told them again and were told that they were pretty sure it was a diabetic needle, not a drug users.
Communicable disease can come from a diabetic or a drug userI don’t care, remove it.
They did in the end reduce our room price, which bumped them up from one star to two, but don’t think we’ll be going again.
I had a meeting at the Viscount and the staff and service was impeccable. I go often there for my meetings at the restaurant. The food and atmosphere is great.
Wonderful staff, very attentive to the clients needs. Rooms are very clean and reasonably priced. The food served is very good. All in all, a fantastic place with a great location and banquet facilities to serve most needs! 5 stars!
Attended a job fair that was poorly organized. A couple businesses didn't make it and some required to many qualifications. It didn't include enough businesses for the general public and some we're not accessible for those using public transport. The hotel. The Experience itself was fine though with some snacks and water available for those attending. In the future the organizers need to better look at their business choices with clearer information on the event page.
They have fantastic staff. So will to help when asked. Hotel is clean and very up to date
The new renovations are nice. We visited for a social function. The wait staff for our function was aloof almost to the point of rude. The food wasn't the best the best either. Not sure I would ever book there myself.
I was surprised by the renovated lounge on karaoke night. I would go back for the chill atmosphere and cheap $4 vodka cranberry drinks.
Met out of town family for lunch. Had the buffet lunch. The selection of items in the buffet were satisfactory. Very good cream of mushroom soup. There were about 6 pasta type cold salads, along with a few items to make your own tossed or caesar salad. The normal fair for cut up fruit was available plus some a delicious black forest cake, chocolate cake and slices. The hot portion of the buffet had a meat lasagna, barbecue short ribs, which were very tasty, scalloped potatoes and roast beef. Service was very good. Decor was clean and up to date. Overall a very nice place to dine.
Had mother's day brunch here with the family. Good food for a good price. I've definitely had worse food for more $ elsewhere. Would definitely recommend for a gathering. Everyone enjoyed it.
Great atmosphere, food and prices within a quick cab's ride from the airport. The lounge employs one of the greatest waitresses working in the city. A really fun experience.
Spent 3 nights and aside from the loud traffic (which nothing can really be done about) I only really have 2 small complaints. The first being that I wish the shower head had had more pressure, and the second that there were an actual coffee maker with a pot in the room rather than a keurig as I bring my own tea and wasn't able to make it, although I'm sure if I'd gone to the restaurant they would have filled my mug with hot water. Aside from that the hotel was very clean the staff were wonderful, the food was great and the rooms are larger than any other hotel I've stayed in. We will definitely be staying here when we come to Winnipeg from now on.
First thing you'll notice is the parking lot is abnormally tight. It was also a messy garbage all over the place. Walking in to the lobby things start to look better. The lobby has been updated recently. The rooms need updating though. Some things like doorknobs haven't been changed since the 80's. We had a scare in the shower when the water turned blood red. The front desk later told us this was normal and only lasts​ a minute. They said it is a result of the chemicals used to treat the water in that area of the city. The staff were kind and courteous.
We got treated terribly by the bartender at the lounge. After going for a dinner we wanted to go enjoy some live music as advertised. The gentleman behind the bar was rude and refused to serve our table which was not even intoxicated as he had implied. It was a terrible experience. We got treated as if we were menaces sitting in the corner. There are many other places to go on portage where you can get treated more pleasant and have a better time. We will not be coming back if that bartender is still there. That man was so unpleasant that it makes me not want to step in that building again. Please change bartenders as he is the worst I've ever met! I refuse to give my money to an establishment that treats any human like that.
Very nice rooms. Would be 5 stars but its not sound proof. You can hear all the traffic on the very busy roads beside it.
