The Fort Garry Hotel Spa and Conference Centre

Room was obviously not their best as we have had much better rooms in the past. Room next to elevator and could hear sound from next door, air condition not yet on for season so room a bit stuffy, Because we booked on line breakfast not included so when we paid for breakfast we actually paid more than we have in the past. The Fort Garry is a beautiful old hotel with lots of charm. we will stay there again but we won't book on line because they obviously give you the least desirable room.

Fort Garry Hotel is a glorified, aging hotel in need of restoration and cleanliness. Despite its old charm, the negative reviews written on travel sites 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.

Great room with excellent bed, quiet and very relaxing and close to the Forks for shopping.

best spa,great restaurant, great bedding, quiet rooms,

Lovely hotel with helpful staff. Loved the fitness center and the bed linens. Will definitely go back.

Attracted by the gorgeous facade and prime location to the Forks area, I decided to spend an evening at the Fort Garry with my 3 year old daughter after a return trip from the US. The lobby area and restaurant/bar were very nice, but our mid-priced room was outdated and shabby for the price. Old-school floral wallpaper was peeling in many places and the mish-mash of office-building style "antique" furniture and fixtures was in poor shape with many dents and chipped exterior surfaces. The carpet was old and stained, and the bathroom had a few updated fixtures but felt very dated and uninviting. The positive exception was the extremely comfortable feather bed which was a pleasure to be in. Another reason we chose the hotel was the advertised pool and fitness center. Unfortunately the fitness center and pool are a separately-owned facility in an adjoining building that wasn't accessible from the hotel at the time. The pool facility is not conveniently accessed from the hotel and, like our room, was dated and needed an upgrade. During checkout, I had to wait for the receptionist to finish a personal call before we were attended to. On a previous trip to Winnipeg I stayed at the Fairmont downtown for a few days and found that to be superior accommodations in all respects to the Fort Garry. In the future, I'll always stay at the Fairmont over the Fort Garry.
