A few years ago, my husband and I stayed at the Fort Garry Hotel for our wedding anniversary. He bought a package: room for Saturday night which included the wonderful Sunday brunch we had heard so much about. Everything was perfect except for one thing: our room was down the hall from a service entry and it seemed that throughout the night, we could hear the doors swinging (was it the infamous Fort Garry ghosts playing games, I wonder?!!). I commented on this when we were checking out the next morning. Well, immediately the manager on duty gave us a voucher for ANOTHER Saturday night stay & brunch, which had to be used within the year. Fantastic. Well, my husband is in the military and was deployed overseas so we were unable to use the voucher within the time period. I called the Fort Garry one day as the voucher was about to expire and asked if we could get an extension, stating the reason why. No problem - they extended it and we used it before we had to move from Winnipeg. We travel a lot and have stayed in many hotels over the years. This place stands out in my mind and not just because of the lovely rooms and food served at that Sunday brunch - it is memorable because of the staff. Well done, Fort Garry Hotel! This review is late but better late than never. I hope to have the opportunity to stay there again.
