Fantastic stay at the Holiday Inn & Suites (downtown Winnipeg) over a very busy Grey Cup 2025 weekend. Above all, the staff were friendly and knowledgable. Shout out to Anisha, Ximena and Catarina at the front desk who always had a smile and friendly greeting for us. When our other hotel didn't work out we were able to find 1 night at the Holiday Inn through Expedia, then 2 more nights came available (again, through Expedia) and we were able to seamlessly extend our stay, and remain in the same room. The Front Desk crew dealt well with bumps in the road...when their key machine was acting up, they personally checked us into the room, and then less than 10 minutes later the security guard brought us our new room keys.
We bought the breakfast as part of our room rate through Expedia, and the little cafe did not disappoint. There was a buffet breakfast with hot and cold items every morning. Service was great (Beiman, Joy and Emma). The cafe also had food/bar service throughout the day. Good food - easy access.
The room was beautiful - looked newly renovated. Two comfy queen beds, chairs, desk, big television, microwave and fridge. Bathroom was spacious enough and had great lighting. The whole room was super clean, and housekeeping stopped in to ensure the garbages were emptied and toiletries restocked.
The hotel location was ideal - walkable to so many places, right on transit routes, and easily reached further locations by Uber (averaging $15 max). 100% would stay again.
