Check in fast and friendly and room was clean and TV was good size and bathroom was super clean. Shower was okay but not high pressure like I like it. But the beds were comfortable and soft and location was great and exterior door was perfect too.

After a 7.5 drive from T-BAY it was a good break from the road and vehicle for the family. I would say for the price and staying for the night only it definitely worth it and I will be back for sure.

Staff was cleaning the snow in front of our room at 6am and snowing hard that night so good to step out of the room to warm up the vehicle and not step into a foot of snow right away. Johnny

Overnight stay while traveling through. Hotel is dated and a little musty but clean. Parking right outside my room. Gas and restaurant options in immediate area. Stayed with my dog who was an extra $10. Room was renovated and clean; I appreciate the floor over carpet. Bed was over soft. Lots of pillows. Cable TV. Wifi was excellent connection. Staff very friendly and efficient. Morning brekkie included and was an actual order from a menu breakfast.

Beds were clean, service was good, breakfast was great. Hotel is run down and needs a refurbishment. Door knob on the bathroom door was broken. Hotel did not look like what I saw on the internet and I almost went in and cancelled my reservation. However the staff was courteous and the beds were in good condition so we stayed since it was only for one night and I did not want to have to look for something else at that point.

The front desk staff are the only reason for it being a 1! They were very polite and worked fast at breakfast.
However the hotel was very low rent looking and things were super dirty in the room. The tub and sink were dirty when we arrived. The soap tray was discussing!!!!!!🤮 The shower wall was cracked and flaking in the shower while you used it. So stepping on chipped tile wasn’t my idea of luxury. The bathroom wall paper was falling off as well. The sink had someone else’s toothpaste left over in and around it. The standard for cleanliness was pathetic. The bed had dirt in/on the blankets and the blankets, towels and pillow cases looked like rejects from Wyndham‘s better hotels. I would never stay here again. We always stay at Wyndham hotels but I think we will need to rethink that in the future. This hotel was very disappointing. The breakfast was decent but not anywhere near continental you’re only allowed one breakfast option off the menu. So when I called to book that should have been said to me when I asked about the continental breakfast. Another thing that adds to my 1 is the soap and coffee offered in your room are fantastic. I was supplied dove soap and shampoo and conditioner and coffee pods and Tea in the room. The cups to use were gross because the bags were ripped so I used my own. After I told the front desk the room was dirty they sent a house keeper in the morning and none of the concerns were fixed the sink still had toothpaste around it and the soap tray was still gross and the shower was still left dirty. So I no longer complained and bought Lysol wipes and cleaned it myself. The sheets were also not changed and left dirty. I always thought Wyndham hotels had pretty high standards but this hotel definitely didn’t measure up to my standards and expectations of a romantic kid free weekend in the city with my husband. The cleanliness is definitely an issue and a major concern. I would also say this hotel should get new linens and stop using Wyndham‘s scraps from the better hotels.

This was absolutely gross. I spent the whole day driving only to land in this wreck of a “hotel”. Drunk people wandering in the parking lot, vomit in front of the door to the room I was assigned, really creepy and dirty looking, it felt unsafe to stay. To add insult to injury… room deposit was $200 🤪

Gave one star because the poor lady behind the counter was kind and helped me get out of my reservation quickly so I could leave.

I have to say that our experience with this Howard Johnson and their staff was nothing shy of perfect. We stayed for 3 days, and we were treated wonderfully from the first interaction to the last, with all our needs being met with a smile. With such a low nightly rate, I couldn’t say a single bad thing about our time here.

Upon checking in, we were greeted by Austin at the front desk. He got us set up rather quickly and efficiently, which is not something I can say about most other hotels or inns that we have stayed at in the past, not to mention his friendly and welcoming demeanor which he maintained every time we interacted with him. We even ordered breakfast to our room twice, and despite how busy they obviously were, the food arrived quickly and was delivered by Austin (again with a big smile and a friendly greeting). The food was good too, which again I can’t say about many other establishments.

We had dinner here one evening with some family and the staff were very accommodating, since we had our puppy with us. The GM, Brandon, was completely welcoming and understanding of the situation, and told us some stories about his dog while we spoke. The food was absolutely delicious, the portions were far from lacking, and the price was very reasonable. We even got a few bottles of their own sauces because we liked them so much! We were served by the Bar Manager, Tim, and he exemplified great service. He tried to play it off like he was doing the bare minimum, but he was efficient and charming. He tried to refuse a tip, but we couldn’t leave without showing our appreciation for his service that night.

The room itself was nice and clean with all the basic amenities, and most importantly the AC was a powerhouse, especially since our stay was in the middle of a heat wave! We declined the daily housekeeping since we were only staying a few days and kept things pretty tidy but based on how the room looked when we arrived, we can say with confidence that they are competent and maintain a high standard.

We loved our stay, it took a lot of stress off our travel, and when we inevitably come through again, we are most certainly going to be staying at this Howard Johnson again.

Thank you for everything!
-Gavyn and Marie

The staff were amazing, I can’t say enough good about them. The lobby was nice and welcoming, looked very clean. Our room, however, was not. Beer cans under the bed, room felt damp, room smelled musty and moldy, and had to keep the air conditioning set as low as it could go to kept it from feeling wet in the room. There is a hole in the wall under the sink. When we showered and the bathroom got hot and humid it smelled strongly of mold and urine. The room could use a heavy duty too to bottom deep clean and address whatever water problems there might be to cause it to smell and feel damp. Small side note, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to supply sweetener option in the room with the coffee stuff. Diabetic that doesn’t use sugar in coffee, but had no other options.

Great stay at the Howard Johnson. The staff deliver a hot breakfast (included with our stay) everyday or we can eat in the restaurant. Staff is very friendly and helpful and the rooms and beds are comfortable.

Both the sports bar and the club have great food. Hatricks, the sports bar, had wings on special the night we went and the menu prices were good. We had a great time at both places. There was no cover charge for the club, the Basement, but the Tapas were a bit pricey but we still enjoyed the Saturday night comedy show 😊. We will stay at the Howard Johnson whenever we come to Winnipeg.

Easy check-in, nice employees. Immediately after checking I was harassed by a bar patron about where I temporarily parked my vehicle (the covered area that exists at the front door of most hotels) but staff were quick to have him back off (he was "concerned" that Skip the Dishes had to reverse in order to leave...).

Loud HVAC in the room. Ice frozen inside door frame melted everywhere. Tight parking right outside room. Slamming doors and stomping around shaking floor from 9pm to 2am. Lumpy Pillow. Toilet kept running. After mentioning these concerns to the manager, they were nice enough to offer a partial refund (only partial since I stuck it out the whole night).

On the road for 6 weeks and this was the only place where I had issues with being woken by other guests and felt concerned for security and my valuables. Spend more and go elsewhere if you intend to get rest, especially on a Friday night.
