Located only half a kilometer from the airport, one would think this is going to be 'one of those hotels" but the Hilton Suites Winnipeg Airport is a terrific place to stay when in Winnipeg.

Call the hotel from Airport arrivals and a friendly shuttle driver will pick you up in minutes. Checkin was fast and efficient. Checkout was the same.

Rooms are large, well appointed suites with good lighting, excellent amenities. Bathrooms are clean, modern, with ample hot water. Beds and pillows were very comfortable and linens were certainly adequate although not luxurious, just good.

There is a small modern bar with a wide selection of drinks, friendly staff. Restaurant staff were superb, breakfast choices include a buffet or a la carte dining. Coffee is hot and good and comes in unlimited quantities, quickly. Entree items are good. The dinner menu is varied, portions are good sizes. The salads were really excellent. A simple side salad was terrific with extremely fresh produce that produced an "aaah" at our table when it arrived! One of our party has difficult dietary habits and they were met, even exceeded, without complaint.

The obvious question is, how much runway noise, and the honest answer is none.

Stay at the Hilton Suites Winnipeg Airport when you are in WInnipeg, you will be glad you did.
