I have been a completely satisfied guest since my first stay in 2008. Every single employee I've had the pleasure of coming in contact with have been nothing short of exemplary. They have been very accommodating to my requests (early check in, preferred room, etc). Couple of things that prevented me from giving this property a well-deserved Excellent : no WiFi in guest rooms AND sub-standard fitness center.
WiFi: how can a hotel operating in the 21st century have no WiFi in the rooms??? Granted it's available in the lobby, but that's inconvenient. As a business traveler, I've lightened my load and no longer carry a laptop. Not having this amenity will preclude me from returning here in my future travels.
Fitness Center: just as with the WiFi, it's unfortunate that a hotel of this high caliber not have a "decent" fitness center. I am not expecting fancy equipment and Olympic-type weight sets. Just machines that are within a couple of years old, please.
I apologize if my review seems harsh. I am a bit perturbed that my room has no WiFi and I am typing this at the Urban Bean cafe 10 minutes before they close.

Dear Valued Guest,
Thank you for your comments. We're glad our staff have provided you with memorable experiences in the past, and we as a brand continue to earn your loyalty and business.
While we do have hard wired high-speed Internet access available in the guest rooms, we do understand the shortfall in meeting our guest's need for WiFi. We have addressed this need in the interim by providing complimentary WiFi in our lobby and cafe area, while we work towards implementing a permanent plan for WiFi in the guest rooms. We should have some great news to share in the next while.
As with guest concerns with WiFi, we have also recognized the need to revitalize the health club in terms of updating machines and equipment. We do maintain the equipment diligently and regularly, and all of our equipment is on a replacement schedule according to the manufacturer's standards, and based on general wear and tear. However, as with the WiFi, we do have plans to address these issues in the very near future and revitalize the club. So, please stay tuned for more updates.
Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your comments and allow us to assure you that we recognize your concerns, and are taking active steps to resolve these shortfalls in the very near future. We love having you as our guest, and look forward to having you back again soon.
Safe Travels,
Delta Winnipeg
