Hotwire Hotel: 2.5* Winnipeg Marlborough Hotel

[sarah11918]

Marlborough Hotel ~ 2.5* ~ Feb. 16/17, 2008

Amenities listed:

Airport Shuttle

Fitness Center

Pool(s)

Restaurant(s)

This was a very brief stop over (arrive 9:30 p.m. leave 5:30 a.m.) so no chance to try the pub in the lobby (but it exists), nor confirm the presence of a fitness centre/pool. They do have an on-demand shuttle.

The hotel room is extremely tiny. It holds the bed, dresser and that's about it. The whole hotel is very old, but everything worked.

Every other floor is a smoking floor, and unfortunately the ice machines are only located on every smoking floor. I thought I was going to vomit when I had to wander the smoking hall to find the ice machine. But, the non-smoking floors do not smell.

It feels a little seedy, but I did wander two floors alone looking for the ice machine and I lived to tell the tale. :)

It did serve the purpose of a bed to crash in for a few hours, but I would not choose to stay here for anything longer. If you want a hotel you can thoroughly enjoy staying in, stick to the 3* options. They're all great.

Thank you for sharing your results and experience at this property with the rest of the board.

Glad to hear their are other, better, options in the area.
