Winnipeg is the capital city of Manitoba in canada and is a nice place to visit as a family. There are a lot of attractions including the famous “Coldest Street Corner” in Canada at Portage and Main and the Forks which is where a lot of the winnipeg festivals are held.
I was in Winnipeg last week for work and purposely stayed at the Winnipeg Four Points Sheraton. The Winnipeg Four Points Sheraton is a great Airport hotel that is situated right acoess the street from the Winnipeg Airport which is great for travelling quickly overnight but if you are staying in Winnipeg for vacation it is not so good. The sheraton Four Points hotel and the Winnipeg Airport are about a 45 minute bus or 30 minute drive from downtown Winnipeg.
In staying at the Winnipeg Four Points Sheraton I had a chance to check out the amenities and dealt with the staff. First of all for some reason my room card failed to work in the morning at the hotel so I needed to get it reactivated and the staff did this really quickly, because they were a little short staffed they switched the card and then advised me that if it did not work that they would go ahead and send someone up.
The girl at the front desk knew exactly where my room number was on the floor and told me that there is a courtesy phone on a desk right behind me if I need to call them from outside my room.
I had an early afternoon flight out and when I phoned the front desk to find out the check in time I told them of my flight time and they immediately gave me a late checkout. I have had trouble getting late checkouts in the past, hotels make you feel like they are doing you a real favor usually when you ask for a late checkout and this was a great bit of service from the Winnipeg Four Points Sheraton.
The amenities at the hotel are not too exciting there is a fitness room, no showers or pool, and the equipment is all fairly new in the fitness room, a TV is in the corner and the windows of the fitness room look out over the parking lot but out to the downtown of Winnipeg.
The room I had at the Winnipeg Four Points Sheraton was nice as you can see in the picture above, tastefully decorated and had a desk, free internet with a network cable in the room and a comfortable desk (Wifi is in the lobby). I had one king size bed in the room and even though i was right next to the elevator I never heard any sound from the elevator all night.
Nice hotel.
