Hotel Travelodge by Wyndham Winnipeg East (Winnipeg, Canada)

The indoor pool is set within a large tropical courtyard where light streams in through three-storey high windows and verdant trees and shrubs surround the main pool, whirlpool and sauna. A wonderfully pleasant place to pass a few hours.

It is clear that the beds selected for use in the guest accommodations are made of the right stuff: numerous visitors have gone out of their way to highlight the comfort they experienced.

Close to the Trans-Canada Highway, surrounded by shops and grocery stores, and within easy reach of both King George Park and Ducharme Waterplay Park; this hotel really couldn’t be more conveniently located.

It may only be a two-storey hotel but that’s likely to be of little comfort to visitors who have mobility issues, plentiful luggage and/or are travelling with kids. If you can afford to have a bowling alley then surely you can splash the cash for a lift..?

Some of the accommodations here have entrances that open out directly onto the tropical courtyard/pool area. Suffice to say, getting blasted by the smell of chlorine and the echoing noises of splashing kids every time you open your door can get to be a bit of a chore...

Many visitors were less-than-impressed by the noisy A/C units in the guest rooms. If you’re a light sleeper then you may want to bring some ear plugs with you...
