To be avoided if you’re a light sleeper
Cons:

My room was on the eighth floor. There’s a ballroom on the 7th floor. They had events in the ballroom on Friday and Saturday with very loud music playing till 12:30 am.

Magnificent grand old railway hotel.
Pros:

It was great to stay in one of Canada’s magnificent grand railway hotels. Beats the modern steel, marble and glass sterility of 5 star hotels.

Cons:

Noisy air conditioning

AWESOME customer service!
Pros:

Very nice hotel with beautiful architecture. Oval room food and service was top notch. We stayed 4 nights and the bartender Justin really made our experience memorable. All the service we received in the hotel was great. Conveniently have a comedy club and a wonderful spa. Can not wait to go again!

Excellent choice particularly if using VIA
Pros:

A friendly and efficient check in at 03:45c in the morning due to a late train into Winnipeg.. The bed room was on the 8th floor and had a view over a busy road, however no traffic noise. Sleep quality and the beds excellent.

The hotel has an image in keeping with the golden age of rail travel.

We had one issue with regard to room cleaning however this was resolved by a wonderful complimentary breakfast in the Oval Room, therefore the star rating kept.

Did not use many of the other facilities during our 2 night stay, mainly due to our un-planned late arrival.

Would recommend, particularly if travelling by train as the hotel is only 1 block up from Union Station. A 5 minute walk! - including crossing busy Main St! The Forks 10 minutes walk away or so.

Everything other than parking was great.
Pros:

Everything was good with our room. Very comfortable.

Cons:

Parking was hard to figure out. The desk clerk told us we needed to enter from the side street. But she didn’t give us any information how to get there. For instance she should have told us if you’re parked in front go out onto the street make left turn and another left turn onto the street next to the building. We didn’t know that side street was one way. We went out of your driveway and made a right hand turn and another right hand turn which brought us behind the building and couldn’t enter the one way street.
