This past week we held a national conference at the Greenwood with 80 plus attendees staying at the hotel.
Although from Winnipeg, I along with two other organizers also stayed at the hotel along with the people from across Canada.
Rooms – the rooms are quite big by industry standards and are nicely appointed and very clean. Beds are comfortable and bathrooms were well stocked with fluffy towels. Although I don’t know if all rooms have them, the three I saw all had small fridges. Throughout the week staff were seen installing new flat screen televisions in the rooms. As to the allegation of bedbugs by the one reviewer – not one of the 80 people that stayed here had any problems. It was interesting to see that this one reviewer has never posted a review prior to the one talking about bedbugs.
Service – the service was always prompt and friendly. Running a conference for over a hundred is a challenge by itself. Add in providing food for breakfast, lunch and hospitality - and you see that the reality is, there is a high likelihood of problems or issues occurring. Each day the organizing committee waited for the inevitable that never came. Andrea the banquet manager attended to each and every wish – immediately. Before the first piece of food was served she asked about allergies and when they arose, special meals were quickly provided. The General Manager Steve ensured that everything ran smoothly – checking in each day.
Food – putting on food for over a hundred, several times a day, certainly must be a challenge. Each time the participants went to the buffet line they spoke of their amazement. Food was fresh, varied and delicious. At one break one of the participants took a picture and sent it to his wife.
Overall Impression – This is a professionally run hotel with dedicated employees who can’t do enough for their guests.
Would I use this hotel again – in a heartbeat. In fact I will be ensuring that any time we host either a day meeting or weeklong conference, we will use the Greenwood.
