Canada Winnipeg Sheraton

[B747-437B]

Sheraton Winnipeg is a conveniently located property that provides a comfortable room, but nothing worth writing home about.

Hotel is located downtown amid a maze of one-way streets that make the main entrance a little hard to locate. Still, conveniently located to much of downtown.

Valet parking is offered for $10/night. Very disorganized though, so budget enough time (at least 5-10 minutes) to retrieve your car when leaving.

Room itself was typically Sheraton with good amenities, although the lack of desk was annoying when I wanted to break out the laptop. High Speed Internet was available free as it was being tested, but will be a charged service in the near future. The "Sheraton Sleeper" bed was available, which made a world of difference for comfort!

The hotel restaurant is supposed to be among the best in Winnipeg. Although I didn't get a chance to try it, it was highly reccomended by the guy who sat next to me on the flight into town as well as many guides.

Hotel staff can be both helpful and standoffish, so a mixed bag on that front.

Overall, a satisfactory stay. Nothing more, nothing less.

Just curious...what is a sheraton sleeper bed? Is that just what they call it?

Note that this is no longer called the Sheraton.

It is now called York the Hotel.
