Room was dirty, site was run down, smelled funny. Food in restaurant was awful, worst poutine I’ve ever had. Multiple families living in the upstairs rooms like the place is also an apartment block. Got three hours sleep and left due to noise from the people that live there. Most of the rooms were empty or so bad no one could stay in them. I want my money back

Days Inn Portage la Prairie
When we arrived we did not get our King room reservation. We were put in a room with 2 double beds, they did not adjust our rate that we reserved under. They had to go take stuff for the tv from another room to get ours working. They have a full service resteraunt, but when we went to eat the place was closed for a private event with no notice. Rooms need some sprucing up, staff need some better training in dealing wit guests.

First hotel I have had to recommend not to stay at. Not well maintained at. No-one at reception desk to greet you. Had to go to find some one to check it. Room okay needs maintenance. Electric heater not even wall mounted. Wall paper coming off around the door and by the bed. One window boarded up with styrofoam? Not very safe. Breakfast hot menu - disgusting, mini hotdogs floating in water and scrambled eggs. Sorry but would not feed to a pet. No yogurts offered. No one at check out desk. Had to go find someone and not willing to wait so left card on counter. Surprised Wyndham would have name associated with it given that there was a microtel by Wyndham across the highway. We were not able to get a room there when booking which is why this hotel was a second choice. Sorry but need to spend some money on this hotel.
Unique was that it is from 1970 with that still be the case. Bathroom kind of updated. Beds were ok but the rest is from 1970. Interesting smells and really no air movement in the rooms. No AC and missing tub drain plug so shower only. They are trying but a long way to go before they are up to a standard of minimum expectations. The art work was from at least open as it has not changed from when I was a little person who had birthday parties in there. 45 years ago. No joke. Exact same pics. Restaurant is all pre-made items from Sysco as it is also the same stuff as served at the hospital in items. Some staff tried others were not sure why they worked there.

The staff was very kind and considerate. We ordered pizza and it was very good. The property could use a refresh, it seems a bit run down.
It was outdated, no AC in the rooms, nail in the hot tub, seen a fight, the power went out for the whole day and was the hottest day so far. Did not compensate or give me money back. No replying to my emails. Very unprofessional.
Roof leaked on my grandson when he slept. Terrible will never stay there afain

The hotel was far out of the way ,it was noisy, kids yelling loudly and running around, the hot tub wasn’t working, the pool was cold and you had to walk to the front desk for towels . In the morning the kids were wanting to swimming befor breakfast but were told to get out of the pool as it wasn’t open till 10 am , an hour before checkout so the kids didn’t get to enjoy the pool , the main reason we booked at that hotel … never again and I don’t recommend that hotel .

Amazing food, large portions and great prices
The food was amazing and the room was ok, no bathroom fan, the hot tub was not working and no AC. You could tell they were working on improving things.
The place itself was very run down, I thought that it was closed. Check in was nice and friendly, then we were told that the Restaurant and Bar was closed due to 2 private parties. All we wanted to do was have supper, a few drinks and watch the first game of the stanley cup playoffs. Had to go into town for that. Even though quiet time started at 11pm, it was very noisy at 10pm, we did phone down and complained and they did shutdown the party early. This was enough to never return. FYI - they should fix up the outside to make it inviting
The people were extremely friendly. Room was very clean and very comfortable. It’s under new ownership and they are in the process of updating the inside and outside. As first impressions driving up has no curb appeal. Room was good though.
Big storm, power went out, fire alarms went off in middle of the night. They were on top of it…..but, hydro guys working overtime in whole area, therefore no power this morning. No fault of their own. We would go back again.
