Hotel Fort Garry, Winnipeg

My wife and I spent three nights at the Fort Garry and enjoyed the classic old hotel ambiance. The location is good for walking to the Forks area and approximately six blocks from the Exchange district and maybe ten blocks from the wonderful Museum of Manitoba. The staff was really friendly and was willing to help in any way that we requested. Winnipeg in early November is not exactly a tourist town, but we were directed to areas to walk and to explore. We will certainly stay there again when we return to Winnipeg.

The hotel staffs were very nice and the service at the restaurant was excellent. I loved the look and feel of the rooms.

The indoor pool is so clean and spacious. We really like spending our time there. The ceiling is vaulted with glass windows on top. The spa was really nice and relaxing. We love everything about this hotel. We really enjoy our time staying at the Fort Gary Hotel.

I really hate staying at hotels but the Fort Gary Hotel is excellent. They are very friendly and the rooms are always clean and spacious. This is a great hotel!

The Sunday Brunch at Fort Garry was incredible. It was the best buffet that I had ever sampled. Absolutely beautiful and delicious! The Ten Spa, the new Spa that just opened up and is located on the entire 10th floor is a world class facility. If you want to be pampered, this is where you want to stay. I will be back!

Two thumbs up for the facilities, staff, service and value at the Fort Gary Hotel. I have never experienced consistent customer service as good from any other hotel from every staff member without exception.

Amazing stay! Beautiful room, beautiful view, and professional staff. The spa was a perfect experience. They had attentive staff, the facility was clean, it was a true delight. Sunday brunch was pure bliss, impeccable in every way! I will tell everyone to visit for a romantic weekend, thank you! :)

Fort Garry Hotel is a glorified, aging hotel in need of restoration and cleanliness. Despite its old charm, the negative reviews written on TripAdvisor are honest descriptions of what this historical hotel fails to provide and should very much improve. During our stay, we discovered bugs on our bed. We captured one in a glass and informed the front desk. Upon arrival of housekeeping (sent by the front desk), the insect was confiscated and a mattress inspection was not performed. The front desk suggested changing our room and reassured us that the insect was not a bed bug because it had wings. We however did not see wings. We requested that a specialist be contacted to examine the insect. A couple days later, the report findings confirmed it was a tick. Ticks do not have wings as well, so the inconsistency in what we were told at the start is unsettling. No guest should encounter or tolerate this. It is evident that Fort Garry Hotel is overpriced and does not maintain basic standards expected for its reputation and star class. Will never return or recommend.

Was part of a wedding party in one of the ball rooms. It took forever for food to come out. The salad was descent. Mixed Greens with almonds and oranges. The Cream of Tomaot Soup was so scalding hot with chilies it seemed to have no flavour of cream or tomatoes. The Chicken Fontine was so greasy and had a piece of fontine cheese that was no bigger than half the size of my pinky finger. And the sauce for it seemed to be just a simple cream reduction. WORST CHICKEN EVER. The potatoes were great though. And the Veg Medley had the taste of leftovers all over it. Very soggy. Fortunately for them, the Apple Pie at the end kept it from being a complete waste of time. And when told of the price ($60), I'm sure they're better baquet food out there.

Upon visiting the TEN Spa, I was dismayed to find out that the hundreds of water bottles given out complimentary are NOT recycled but rather thrown out. I know this from overhearing staff members discussing this, as well as some issue they were having with the management . The front desk was cold and left much to be admired. Staff seemed generally unhappy which tells me alot on how things are run ( I myself run a business) I have been fortunate to visit spa's around the globe and my experience was by no means world class.
