    Aikens Lake Wilderness Lodge - For shore lunch, our guide made us several types of fish each day: fish bake (pictured), beer batter, mustard fry, pan-seared walleyes, etc.

    My son (age 46) and I (age 75) visited Aikens Lake Wilderness Lodge for the second time this past…read moreweek. This is my 33rd fishing trip to Manitoba and 18th lodge visited. We were the first group in for this season. Other than being very cold and rainy it was a great trip. Nothing has changed since our first visit in 2019. In my opinion this is the best overall lodge in Manitoba. There are so many different ways that this lodge is superior to others but let me try and highlight a few. Let's start with the booking process. Pit, the owner and General Manager, appears to sit at his computer 24 hours a day. When you contact him, you get an almost immediate response. His communication is clear and to the point. When you book you get a provisional slot hold until you make your deposit. You can send in a check or use a credit card. Once you book his wife, Julie, takes over and contacts you about any special requests you may have. If you have any special dietary requests, booze orders or the like she makes sure it happens. Next are the lodge facilities. The cabins are immaculate and appear brand new. Ours had two bedrooms each with a mini split heater and AC and a living room with a fireplace. There was also a screened in porch. A short walk to the main lodge itself which houses the dining room and "Big Mollys Bar". The bar is unusual in that it includes a happy hour before dinner where the drinks are free. At most lodges I have fished the groups tend to keep to themselves. One impact of the happy hour is that most groups become very friendly. Secret spots and lures are shared freely and you make new friends. We have already made contact we people we met at the lodge and are making plans to met again next year. On to the food. Most lodges have a fixed breakfast. At Aikens you can order whatever you want for breakfast. I had asked Julie to have some hot peppers for my omelet and they sure were hot! The shore lunches were also unique. The lodge has prepared several sites throughout the lake with picnic benches, metal roofing to protect from the rain, propane cook tops and chopped wood for the open firs. This not only keeps you dry and comfortable but dramatically reduced the food preparation and cooking time. The lunches themselves are not just the old fried fish but included different variety of batters and baked fish. Dinner at the lodge was also special every night. Julie cooked for us a few nights and she is the best chef in Canada. One night we had a pork chop that must have been 2 inched thick but was still moist and tender. Steak night riveled any steak house in Winnipeg, The staff were also exceptional. Pit, Julie and Patrick are all co-owners and unlike many other lodges are on site. This ensures that if any issues arise, they are dealt with quickly and properly, They have hired a great group of young ladies to work the dining room and cabins. They are friendly and hard working. The guides are also good. They tend to hire young men in college who work there for4 to 6 years so you always have an experienced guide who knows the lake in your group. The newer ones receive formal training from Pit and Pat and also learn from the more experienced guides. The fishing is also good. The boats are newer 18-foot Lunds powered by 60HP Yamaha motors. They have very comfortable cushioned chairs, depth finders, live wells and trolling motors. Most lodges have. 16-foot boats and 20 or 30HP engines, benches and no electronics You can really cover a lot of ground quickly with these 60 HP motors! It was very cold (low 40's) and rainy during our trip which impacted the fishing. However we still managed to catch several pike on the low 40s and had an afternoon during which we caught walleye over 22 inches for 3 hours straight. I made the "century club" by catching 4 walleyes totaling over 100 inches in the same day. We can't wait to return next year!

    Summary: Decent hotel with friendly staff but could use some modernization…read more Details: Lobby is small but attractive. Bonus points that you can reach the next door Elephant and Castle pub without going back outside. Lobby Starbucks had an actual barista but not breakfast food. Lobby restaurant opens for weekday breakfast from 7-11am and serves pretty good food. Rooms are ok but lack extra amenities. Bed and pillows are comfortable so that alone was almost worth 4 stars. Wifi works well. But closet is tiny. There's no safe. Toilet paper is sandpaper. Toilet itself had flushing issues. Gym is tiny without many machines. Smells of chlorine from the pool next door. People were nice. Would I stay here again? Yes Do I wish it was a little nicer? Also yes

    Excellent spot to stay for a Jets game! It's a 2 block walk outside (on a nice 12/2 day) or a…read moreshort walk in the second floor tunnels to the arena. Parking is simple, all the way down on the basement on the "green" level - nice thing about parking down there is the car is warm in the morning! Property is clean & quiet even when it's sold out on game day! Room is functional w a tub/shower (not my fav) combo in the small bathroom. Towels are decent and water for shower is hot! I appreciate the electric tea kettle in the room. Club on 12th floor is solid - I like there is attendant there for breakfast. Breakfast is decent: pancakes, croissant, scrambled eggs, sausage links. During the day that are soft drinks, chips and cookies. Again always very clean. Friendly service all around & and Elephant and Castle in the same building. I am a fan!!

    Can't understand the dissin' of the Victoria Inn Hotel. We had Huge conference here of over 500…read morepeople. It was flawless, in great part due to the efforts and work of the staff at the hotel. Upon arrival at the airport, the hotel sent several vans that came over with little fanfare and shuttled us over quickly. Once inside, the registration formalities went without a hitch. The staff was very courteous and welcoming. During our almost week long stay, our room was serviced immaculately. Not once did we have to ask for towels or coffee refills. We found the rooms to have adequate soundproofing, allowing us to have a good night of sleep. The central bar was well attended with very efficient waitstaff. They had an ample supply of beers and wines, as well, snacks and bar food to order. Our conference food was surprisingly good. Breakfast buffets had plenty of omelets, fruits and meats. Luncheons had salads, meats and veggies galore. Dinners were also superb, including a filer mignon dinner the last night that was delicious. We did try their huge indoor pool once ands that was awesome. A great conference made even more so thanks to this hotel.

    Have stayed here many times, most recently July 2024. Fantastic hotel - polite, helpful staff,…read moregreat indoor water park for kiddos, and good restaurant on property. I usually stay one night on each end of my fishing trips to Ontario as my flights usually get in late and leave early. Hotel is VERY close to the airport and the van to and from the airport has always been available when i need it. Definitely recommend!

It's clear that the current owner has tried to update the place to look more like a Motel 6 than what this beautiful building should be. Cheap renovations and tacky Target bargain furniture and light fixtures have stripped this place of its charm and history. All of the beautiful wood in the unit is painted white now and the hallways are a horrible and depressing dark grey. The furniture is cheap and over sized for the rooms. Room 619 had a bed so tall we had to ask to switch rooms. The front desk suggested they bring us a step ladder instead. Seriously?! We finally switched to 808 which had two regular sized beds that were a normal height and we didn't have to be watched as we went to the bathroom. Not sure why washrooms that face other units don't have window coverings! There are absolutely no amenities in the rooms. No fridge. An $8 plastic bottle of water. A Nespresso with coffee only. You have to ask for tea if you want it. Toiletries in the bathroom need revisiting. They're the same ones from 2010 from L'Occitane; tired, dated and horribly scented. More hotels have switched to more sustainable and options but here, you will still get a shoe mitt and shower cap. One bonus was two robes in each room. There is a small gym but no access to a pool. You can pay $12 next door. Apparently yoga is included, but no one told us about that upon check in for our weeklong stay. The wifi didn't work after the first night and staff weren't overly helpful about it. At $252 a night, this is not what we were expecting. Had we known how downhill this place has gone, we'd have opted for the Holiday Inn. Parking is $22 a night and the front entrance is permanently occupied by crowds of smokers. It's absolutely disgusting. This place is for sale so we really hope that the new buyer will help bring this beauty back from the depths of sadness.

On my last stay the hotel was fully booked and there were some issues with noise which kept me up really late at night. The staff on duty tried to help, but at the time couldn't identify the issues and with a fully booked hotel, I was stuck with lack of sleep for two nights. Although they couldn't help in the moment, the manager called today, apologized and talked me through the situation. Not only was I not expecting a call, but to speak with someone that listened, showed empathy, truly cared and asked how they could make it right... That's the kind of hotel you want to stay at. Of you have a choice of where you can stay. You can't go wrong here.

    This hotel just opened recently a month ago and my HHonor points got this room for $50 CN. With…read morethe devalued US dollar, this pretty much means $50 US as well. The downside is that there are foreign transation fees which can add up. Homewood Suites was not able to honor my Discover card reservation even though Hilton website allowed me to use without assessing any foreign fee. The previous Hilton hotel which was the newly opened Hampton Inn Winnipeg Airport was able to call into corporate to do a manual Discover card charge. So, I tried this approach but it could be that Homewood Suites was just too new in the system. Oh well, I can't complain since my girlfriend found the decor interesting even though Hampton Inn was her preferred choice. This extended stay hotel had a nice room layout with 1 bedroom, living room, and full kitchen. The bathroom was a bit cramped since the door had little clearance with the toilet sticking out. The bed was fine but I preferred Hampton Inn for some reason. I found it a bit lumpier here and my back noticed it. The breakfast was actually much better than Hampton Inn with scrambled eggs and sausage. I found Hampton Inn to have the processed egg with a slice of cheese folded inside not as appetizing. For the amenities, I found it much better than Hampton Inn. There was a large sized pool which was much better to swim in compared to Hampton Inn. Also, there was a pool table to play billiards which was nice just in the back of the breakfast/dinner sitting area. The exercise room was really nice and found it very similar to Hampton Inn. This hotel also had a shuttle bus to transport to airport was well as nearby Polo Park mall. In my opinion, this location is much preferred over Hampton Inn being only at the airport. Polo Park had so much to choose from in terms of dining/shopping/etc.
