Inn at the Forks

All the staff that we interacted with were great. Always very friendly, said good night/good morning as we went through the lobby. I stayed for my birthday, and when we arrived at the room there were cookies and a note waiting for us which was very sweet! We stayed in a standard 2 queen room. There was a 15% off promotion for the room when we booked, so after taxes/fees (including $22 for parking) it came to $213.15 for one night. We didn't end up dining in the restaurant or using the spa, but it was nice to have the options. There was live music playing in the restaurant, and we could listen from the lobby. Overall the proximity to the Forks was the primary draw for us, but the hotel itself was worth the price. I really liked the design of the hotel, the room was clean and modern, our view was nice, and the staff was friendly. Only critique may be that the beds and pillows were definitely on the softer side.

I don't normally leave reviews but this place is NOT worth the price. Stayed here for 4 nights to attend a conference held on the 2nd floor. They served the same breakfast for the conference every morning which became bland. I made it clear I have dairy allergies so they prepared a dairy free plate before every meal but each plate still contained dairy. It was as if they didn't know what dairy was. The food was okay at best. There are no microwaves in the room which is weird. Probably a technique to force people to eat at their over priced restaurant. We had to request one and it came to us dirty. It clearly isn't something they do often. They stock the fridge with their own alcohol and water so it leaves little room for your own stuff. We also didn't have hot water for 12 hours due to an issue with the hot water tank. The staff overall were nice and the room was nice.

We loved our stay at Inn At The Forks. The rooms are very clean and extremely good quality. Top notch hotel comfort. The area through is what gives this hotel the edge. The Market right next door means you will never go hungry, every type of food you can think of for a plethora of dining experience. Then the historical sights around as well, just simply wonderful if you want to learn about the aboriginal connection. All in all a really great experience.

Toilet hasn't stopped running, doesn't flush. I moved the coffee table by the couch and there was old fries on the floor indicating the cleanliness is lacking. Temperature control is very out of whack, windows aren't great so there's a bad draft coming through. They can get away with lack of standards because of the good location. Furniture seems cheap and outdated (or not well kept). The photos online are deceiving and it make it look great when its actually disappointing. Overall, we won't be returning. Not to mention extremely overpriced when we got a "luxury" suite.

I have been here 3 times over the years. This was where I was booked by client. It would not be my choice of hotel. Next time I will stay elsewhere out of pocket rather than here. Rooms are ok. Gym is way too small and not really good for much other than a little cardio which is disappointing. Previously used spa which was good. Location is best part but to me that is not an overriding factor as I would rather take an uber that pick a hotel based on location. Housekeeping this last time, I had request light on all day to clean room yet they didn't show up till 5pm to clean room which I was back already then so had to forgo that. Forgot a dental guard this last trip supposedly sent back October 12 yet not received. Tracking number they gave doesn't work and can't resolve, so I guess I will eat the $1,000 to get a new one now. Yes, my fault I forgot it but when I get charged for courier fee to return and they can't use a reputable company and housekeeping could care less as to any urgency. Not a place I would recommend.

This property is beautiful. Location is great. Room was comfortable. Only feedback was amenities could be better in the room. The service is 5 star all the way. Overall excellent stay and no hesitation in recommending it

Immaculately groomed hotel with pleasant and helpful staff. The room was well equipped, but the bed was much too soft for my liking.||Good breakfast apart from the over-hard hash browns. ||Excellent location, quiet and attractive but near a wide range of eateries. Public bus to the airport stops nearby.

My experience at Inn at the Forks was far below expectations. We found lice in our room, and it was clear housekeeping had not cleaned properly since previous guests’ belongings were still there. The mini fridge overheated, and the beds were uncomfortable for us. I also may have had a bag stolen—I asked the front desk to check for it a few hours after leaving, but nothing was found. We ended up spending part of our wedding night picking through our hair for lice, which was the worst possible way to end what should have been an amazing day. The only positive was the great location, but the overall stay was not a good experience.

True, genuine hospitality - which is leading me to write my first, ever yelp review. Yesterday my flight was cancelled and I was booked at this hotel via a third party travel agency. When I arrived, the booking seemed to be a glitch in the system (there was no room available), but both ladies at the front desk called several hotels trying to find me a room. Every hotel in the city and near the airport was completely sold out because of a conference and concert going on locally, therefore, I had no where to sleep and I was traveling from the US. Finally, I gave up and went back to the airport to sleep. When I arrived at the airport, I got a called from Prabhdeep (front desk agent) and she informed me there was a cancellation. She went above and beyond to get my contact information, so I had a place to sleep for the night for a few hours. I cannot think her enough for making my stay in Winnipeg both safe and comfortable. I studied hospitality in college, and I know it can be a difficult industry to work in. I can truly say that I was touched by how much Prabhdeep cared about me and my wellbeing during my travels. I did not know the true meaning of hospitality until my stay at Inn at the Forks.

These reviews are ancient! I've stayed at this hotel almost monthly for the last 6 months - hands-down the most consistently great hotel! Food and service are excellent, every time. Clean room, every time. They go above and beyond. If you visit Winnipeg (and I think you should!) stay here! The location is perfect, the parking is easy, and it's always such a treat.

Great location, just ok rooms. AC was A problem the whole week I was there and no one could tell me if it was fixable. Tried to have it fixed multiple times but it never got better. Unfortunate that they staff did not communicate more effectively. If you're tall there may be problems with the shower. Some rooms have a stall shower that is quite compact which makes it difficult to wash hair without contorting your body to get under the spray. The hotel is connect to Smith's restaurant which is spectacular however the hotel does not live up to the same standard.

I spent last night at the Inn at the Forks. The room was $220 (plus taxes). Parking is a block away. You can either park it yourself for $15 (which I did) or have it valet parked for $20. WIFI is included and it's quick. There is no microwave oven or mini fridge in the room but there is a safe tucked in the desk drawer. It's next door to the Forks Market among other things and there is a spa in the hotel (alas, I didn't have time to enjoy any of the services).

The hotel is in a newly developed area by the river(s).... and within walking distance to the Hotel Fort Garry. Hotel is located right at the junction of the two big rivers... exciting time in April when both rivers were rising.... My room has the "new hotel" smell... nicely appointed... surrounding amenities quite nice... Only complaint is poor ventilation in hotel gym and equipment kinda meagre... 2 treadmills, 1 elliptical, 1 recumbent bike and the basic weight machine... however the room is poorly ventilated and kinda stank.... Med school function in hotel... dinner was pretty decent.... beef done just right and seasoned perfectly.... quite impressed

I expected a lot when I booked a room at Inn at the Forks. To be honest, Canadian hotels usually deliver on the quality and value front. It was a quality room with decent amenities but I am not sure it was worth it. Winnipeg is a weird town in that the centre is not where everything is. There are a lot of centres scattered around the city and the Portage and Main hub is not necessarily where everyone goes to. So having a room in the centre of Winnipeg is not like being in the centre of London or Glasgow. It usually means that you are pretty far away from where you need to be. If you need to be in the heart of Winnipeg then Inn at the Forks is the only place to be. Otherwise, getting a cheaper room and a rental car in one of the other major hotels scattered around the city would probably serve you better. The quality of the rooms would probably not differ. I would not book a room there again. It looks like a Vintage Motel from the outside and it does not do much to surpass that on the inside.

I was visiting U. of Winnipeg on business and the architect recommended we stay at The Inn at the Forks. The Forks being the Red River and the Assiniboine River intersection. The area has a childrens' museum, gift shops, in the winter a snowboard park, river ice skating, hockey and a rink for ice skating. There are a few activities to do in the area. Very nice. The university is probably a 10 minute drive to/from the hotel during rush the hours. I was checked into a 3rd floor double bed room with a north view of the park at The Forks, CanWest Global Baseball Park and the Riel Bridge Esplanade. - Larger than standard room with a typical lay-out - Desk area w/power & data connections - Easy chair in the corner - Standard size TV - Tile floors in restroom - Two double beds - Armoires, no closets - Ironing bard and iron in one armoire - Pillows - each bed had (3) pillows - Standard tub/shower - No kitchen - No drinks or snacks in room provided - Decor is quite nice and the bathroom sink is very cool - Business center located in the lobby - Shuttle service - Spaghetti Factory across the way Overall, my stay was excellent. Room service was great , food was great. The hotel restaurant, The Current, offers some excellent meal choices. I tried some musk ox one evening and immediately felt guilty. Doesn't make sense, does it. The lounge has great afternoon/evening lighting and my colleagues and I stayed in the lounge to eat dinner. The breakfast menu offers some great choices as well with healthy eating in mind. The theme of the hotel is kind of a river/fish thing, but very nicely done. No singing trouts on the wall. I highly recommend this hotel. The one change I would make is to have my room farther away from the loading dock. I was awakened at 6:00am each morning by the opening and shutting of truck doors and loading dock doors.

I stayed at the Inn at the Forks on a recent weekend trip to Winnipeg with my wife. The hotel is centrally located right next to Downtown Winnipeg so getting everywhere we needed to was pretty easy. It is located right next to The Forks, which is a bit touristy, but given that we were first time visitors, this was not a bad thing. We booked a special weekend deal, so we were able to utilize the parking lot and valet for "free" or at least have it included in the room rate. We also got a $50 gift card...that we were able to use towards the room...which we did. The staff was very friendly and attentive. And the room was comfortable if not particularly fancy or special in any way. All in all, I would recommend a stay at the Inn at the Fork s for people visiting Winnipeg. But you definitely should have your car so you can get around.

As an occasional visitor/business traveler to Winnipeg, it took me a few tries to find a nice hotel. The Inn at the Forks is a nice boutique-style hotel located adjacent to the Forks, which is an historic shopping and dining area located at the point where the Red River meets the Assiniboine River. The hotel includes a spa for those so inclined and is easy walking distance to multiple restaurants and activities. The rooms are modern and comfortable as are the beds. The hotel bar is a great place to catch up on the game over a few beers or have a martini with friends. The restaurant is pretty good with a nice selection of offerings. For those who hate to eat at the hotel where they are staying, I suggest Sydney's in the adjacent marketplace. Stellar food!

We went for lunch on March 13/18. The service was very good and the waiter very friendly. Unfortunately the quality of the food was a huge disappointment. My wife had a Ruben Sandwich, her comment"this is probably the worst Ruben I have every had". The corned beef was of very low quality, extremely salty and the bread was soggy with awful tasting sauce. My quesadilla was not much better, it was quite tasteless. We had been there before and the food was very good. Oh yes and it was quite pricey, especially for the crap we got. Have owners changed?

Thanks for putting up with a bunch of girl skaters! The rooms were so comfortable and top notch. The staff were friendly. One of us dropped a glass bottle of beer, and the staff didn't even throw one mean glare. Also, for those who love to shred it is like a min walk away from the skate plaza! See you next year1

Parking was convenient. Check-in was seamless. Room was clean and ready, even though we showed up a bit early. We were in a Luxury Suite, which was the perfect place to spend a night away to relax and disconnect from the world. The LS had a unique floorplan that added to the privacy and disconnectedness that we were hoping to find.

Review is based on the conference room setting as I did not stay in the rooms. If you are arranging a conference, it's a nice setting due to it's location at the Forks. The conference room itself is nothing special. I am not sure about the difference types of conference rooms available but we had one that was medium to large that can easily accommodate 30 or so people. The room was set at an uncomfortably cold level - a sentiment that was echoed by many of the men in the room as well. Though staff did alter the temp after we told them. Chairs were not comfortable at all as they were very hard on the bum! Also, the tables were at this weird height so it was hard to cross your legs without banging your knees against the table. Food was medicore. The fruit platters were nice and full with lots of varieties. Hot breakfast was okay; I like that they provided mini sized danishes. Coffee was a little weak. Sandwiches were decent and offered lots of options. Desserts were terribly dry and the cookies were monster size (who needs that mid-day in a conference) and tasted like they were a few days old. I found many of the dishes to be dirty. Several water glasses at the table had this rough grimey feel on the outside. And upon inspection, the glasses were not cleaned thoroughly. Ew. Staff are nice and friendly. Overall, okay place for a conference, nothing amazing but nothing terrible though I'd like them to improve on the cleanliness of their dishes.

Very very nice hotel. Friendly, professional personnel. Was upgraded to the Riverstone suite. Super nice room, 2 fireplaces, separate living room. Luxurious bathroom with heavenly shower. Hotel is in nice area of town, highly recommended!

would be 5, but the bathtub was not big enough for me and my two friends absolutely enraged!

Room was more expensive when I was checking in than what I was quoted when I booked. Free parking became $18. And I forgot 4 blurays in the room--when I called the day after checking out, the hotel denied anything was left in the room.

I had a horrible experience at the Inn a few days ago. Besides its amazing kid friendly location it was dreadful. I was greeted by a few of the front desk receptionists who had a few problems checking me in due to the heavy traffic in the lobby. We stayed in a one bedroom suite which was mediocre at best. It looked like a 'renovated' late 80's motel with a nice sink in the bathroom. The pull out bed was really thin and springy. The king size bed was average (motel def not hotel standard). I noticed there was a lack of electrical outlets. The views from the fifth floor were really nice. We were unable to call room service upon check in due to the phones not working. Headed down to the lobby to see that it was still busy and went into the Forks for alternative food options. We came back for bedtime wanting to take a bath to run a tub full of disgusting dark yellow water. My daughter opted out and took a shower instead. We crawled into bed wanting to rent a movie and call an early night. Unfortunately the remote control was unresponsive and it was the typical fight with the controller due to dying batteries. Tried calling downstairs but no tone for the phone again. After 30 mins battling it out with the remote we were able to rent 'epic'. During the late evening I decided to stay an extra day because we wanted to see more of the Forks. Was told that it wouldn't be a problem so I headed to bed. Throughout the night there was continuous building noises (plumbing?) and just a restless night overall. I woke up to breakfast from a friendly room service staff member. Pleasant smile and warm food who could complain?! Breakfast was mediocre as the toast was soggy and potatoes were cold. At this point I was notified that they were unable to fill my request due to a mistaken overview of their system. No apology for any inconvenience it may have caused for my stay or anything. Wow that was nice way to start my day. If I knew I needed to check out early in the am I wouldn't had ordered my breakfast as late and I might've packed the night before. My morning of my so called vacation was ruined by the chaos it caused due to a horrible experience here. I understand that I might've been a one off with my experience but I do not recommend this hotel due to some of the things I mentioned above. I wasn't looking for a free ride, I was hoping to maybe having some sort of management present when a few of these issues were mentioned. I hope no one had a shitty experience as I did here

I know this is going to seem oddly specific point to gripe on, but if Internet speeds, heck even connecting to the Internet is important to you, do not stay at this hotel. I've been here three times and last year, and while the rooms are ok, clean with a decent view of the city, trying to get anything done online is utterly pointless. Below 1mbps is the average; hardly fast enough to do anything more than send an attachment-less email. They offer no paid or tiered service, unlike most other higher end hotels. Again, I have no complaints about the amenities or lodging other than this one major complaint, but it's a pretty big one if you were trying to get work done in your hotel room. I figured others who find getting online important might appreciate the head's up.

The hotel is really over priced. Stay next door in the Fort Garry Hotel castle for a better deal. As for the spa inside the hotel... The spa was the worst spa in Winnipeg. Save your money and go to Ten Spa at the Fort Garry Hotel. When we first arrived, we thought our massages were going to be in the actual spa, but instead we were whisked away to the 3rd floor to a converted hotel room. Not very romantic. Part of our package was champagne and truffles for $30. We got a sample bottle of champagne to fill one glass and a truffle box 1.5 inch square. What a deal! During the entire massage, we heard the ice machine, and kids running up and down the hallway. How is this relaxing As we got the massage the masseuse applied a little too much pressure around my shoulder blades, so I asked politely for her to ease the pressure. She then stopped all together and proceeded to a new muscle group. When we walked back to the desk to pay for the services we were shocked to see that we were forced to pay a 15% gratuity. I was going to tip the ladies myself, but this gratuity should be at the customer's discretion. Finally we sat in the front to wait for our shoes to be brought back to us...after 10 minutes still nothing. So I had to finally speak up to the ladies at the front counter who had been chatting all this time to remind them of our shoes. After a long wait, one of the ladies finally brought them to us. After complaining to the manager about the poor service, she said she was going to refund some money back to our credit card. Still until this day we have not received any compensation. Just horrible. Stay away and go to Ten Spa instead! There, they treat you like a king and queen.

Very nice. Not in a great spot for after dinner plans, but quiet nice place with great food.

This is one of my favorite hotels. I love the location, the in-hotel restaurant, the staff, the in-room spa products and the earthy decor. I feel so relaxed once I enter it's doors. Once I was accompanying my husband there for a business trip. It was winter and cold out so they shuttled me to Polo Park mall so I didn't have to go by myself on the bus while my husband was at work!

First time in Winnipeg for business and the inn did not disappoint. Extremely friendly and helpful staff and great restaurant. Big shout to Perry for his assitance and early morning coffee, much appreciated!!

My Grandpa and I went to Winnipeg and stayed at the Inn at the Forks...using my mom's Yelp account. it was a great service hotel, because of kit i would recommend to everybody that is staying in Winnipeg to to stay at inn at the forks!!!!!!!!!! I liked it because people were friendly and there was great service. I have stayed at lots of hotels and I liked this one especially because nearby things, it was social and welcoming. Kit was especially helpful with getting us places and with our navigation. he was always courteous and gave good suggestions. The front desk people had great advice for what to do in Winnipeg.

no breakfast for this price point, just terrible . bedding looked like it was not finished. really overpriced for what they offer which is nothing.ugh. I'm embarrassed

This hotel is nicely decorated however the rooms are a bit dated. The location is convenient and the staff are very friendly. On the down side, when I went to have a shower the water was luke warm at best despire running it for 20 minutes. How uncomfortable to be in one of the coldest cities in Canada and not be able to take a hot shower. I'm still shivering!

We have booked their room twice - I forget what it is called but it is the one with the rain shower. Beautiful, great location, and the room was fantastic. A favourite for our anniversaries :)
