My home away from home last night in Winnipeg was the Best Western Plus Pembina Inn & Suites. I…read morestayed here the last time I was in Winnipeg. Breakfast (scrambled eggs, hot breakfast meats, hashbrowns, choice of breads, cereal, fruit, other hot items, yogurt, juice, and coffee), an evening snack (soup and salad from 5pm to 7pm), WIFI (it was speedy) and parking were complimentary. There was a coffee maker, mini fridge, safe and microwave oven in my room. There were lots of restaurants within walking distance. I'd stay here again.

Stayed here before and found the service and the room I was assigned was in order. Everything…read moreworked and my stay was un interrupted. I would recommend this hotel as the cost was within range of what I thought was decent. I also support local businesses!

I came down to the studio today to participate in Rodney's project, Just As I Am…read more http://www.justasiam.ca/ I really had a great experience here - Rodney was very friendly, professional and genuine and really made me feel at ease. The photo session was very short (only 10 minutes) but I didn't feel pressured or rushed at all - I feel that if I had needed more time to get comfortable for the nude shoot I could have taken as much time as I needed. There was no one else at the studio but I didn't feel uncomfortable at all taking off my clothes and being nude around him. After the shoot we talked for a while about the project and perceptions of beauty in our culture - he obviously has a lot of passion for his work and making people feel beautiful. The studio is beautiful - very comfortable, clean and classy. The front of the building looks like it's been boarded up and abandoned, but the side of the building is quite attractive, and there's a gated parking lot for clients. I'm really looking forward to seeing how my photos turned out and working with Rodney on future projects. If I'm ever in need of a photographer for beauty shots, Rodney will be at the top of my list - he has a really solid portfolio and creates a really wonderful studio experience.

This place is one of the best out there for wedding photography. Talk about professional! Cory…read moreshowed up with Bertha to discuss everything any anything that we wanted for our wedding day. Nothing was overlooked in the free consultation. The presentation was elegant and very thorough. There wasn't anything the duo left out. They brought a video, portfolios and pamphlets with information of everything we need to know about them. Aside from being a bit on the pricey side, we chose to go with them because we just loved their personality and professionalism. Can't wait for the photos!

They were friendly, out-going and so willing to work with our tight timeline. If it weren't for their expertise, reliability and willingness to help, our ideas would have never been showcased.

Let me begin by saying that if your looking for a wonderful team of professional photographer &…read morevideographer - look no more. BEK Studios is THE ONE you should hire, hands down, no doubt! You don't even have to think about it. I'm not only saying that because they were our official photographers & that I'm biased. I'm saying it because its the truth. You can even ask all our guests at our wedding. I knew she was THE PHOTOGRAPHER when my best friend & I had our initial meeting with her. She was truly interested about who I was & who my husband to be was, how we met, what our idea was the ceremony.. We even had our moment... We've met with other photographers & it was not the same. Esther was very professional. She put me & my husband (Arnel) at ease every step of the way. There was no unsure moment. She listened to our suggestions and answered all our emails promptly. She addressed all our concerns and always re-assured us that she's there for us. There was never a uncertain moment with her. She always goes over & beyond! I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH - SHE'S REALLY AWESOME! She made us look like we're models! Quite frankly, I even told her I had to google how to pose because I didn't know what to expect (LOL!), but she just (with all graciousness) made it happen. Our photos were amazing. Esther takes pride in her work & you'll see that in her photos. Her passion just radiates all through out the photos. I remember looking at the photos & was impressed as she truly captured not only us and our guests but also our raw emotions. Brock, he's so kind-hearted & very supportive of Esther. He's really a great guy. He's professional and he too understood our needs and offered support even the day of our wedding. When we watched the video for our wedding - it was as if I was getting married again!!!:) WELL WORTH IT. We've not only made a professional connection, they connected with us in a such a way we gained friends!!! THEY ARE SO FUN TO WORK WITH! Like seriously.. We rented a bus & Esther came along, we were playing charades with Disney song, Esther played with us.. who knew, Esther knew most of the songs too! Thank you Brock & Esther for the work that you do! May you be blessed with more success!! :) We Love You! Kim & Arnel Ordonez

The staff at Fort Gibraltar were excellent to deal with leading up to our company's Holiday party…read more They replied to questions and requests quickly and we loved that they had their menu, and facility costs available to view online. The event itself went off perfectly, people are still talking about the food and how gorgeous the venue is. I highly recommend working with Connie and the team at Fort Gibraltar.

The venue, the food, the service were all great and we had many compliments on how great of a space it was. we also spent a little extra and were Able to have a couple hours of axe throwing and a bonfire all night, which were very well received. Thanks so much everyone involved, especially Connie, for making all of our wedding dreams come true.

This used to be THE place everyone wanted to stay. With over 100 years of (haunted) history, it was…read moreonce the elegance of Winnipeg. 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.
