Recently, I rented a motel room for a one night stay. Renting the room required a $250 credit card deposit. For most of the evening, I was away from the motel, meeting up with old friends. I checked out early the next morning before sunrise.

The problem is, when I phoned the motel to see if my credit card deposit was returned, the general manager claimed that there was "damage to the outside of the door," and has refused to take any of my calls ( left several messages, and emailed). Considering I was away for most of the night, and there is a bar, and beer store on the motel premises, I requested to see surveillance footage, considering it was definitely not me that caused the damage.:So far, they have refused.

So in other words, a random stranger can come and bang on the doors, or damage them (the Motel was facing Portage Ave), and the guest will be forced to pay.

Motel refuses to return $250 deposit, will not respond to emails, calls.

Returning from a recent trip, I just needed a quick overnight and found all the airport hotels to have pretty high prices - so I decided to stay at the Assiniboine Gorden.  I had stayed here years ago and was pleasantly surprised this year.  The place has obviously been kept up quite well, it was clean and the room was well outfitted.
I got a full breakfast the following morning, included in the price, which was a nice surprise.
Late check in was no problem as they have 24 hour staffing.
Drawback - you cant pay for it ahead of time online, payment has to be made when checking in.
The location is in St James, fairly close to the airport, and on Portage Avenue.  They do not offer a shuttle service, unfortunately.  Taxi was not a lot of money.
The staff were very helpful the morning I left, when I had a 1 1/2 hour wait to get a taxi to pick me up.
I will be staying here again on future trips.

a good alternative to the airport hotels...

When my furnace quit working late on a cold winter evening, I needed a place to stay for the night, until it could be repaired.  I headed over to try this nearby neighbourhood establishment.  I chose a room in the motel, figuring it would be quieter than the hotel. I also chose a second floor room, as I felt safer than having an  entrance door onto the main street. It is an older building, and the room was smaller, but well maintained, very clean and comfortable. Queen bed, side chair, large desk and chair, TV, good sized fridge, free Wifi, complimentary water and coffee, and a coupon for breakfast.  The bed and pillows were comfy, there was good hot water in the shower, and Dove bath products. The building itself was very quiet, I didn’t hear a soul, and the street traffic didn’t disturb me. There was a private balcony, too cold to use, but I could open the door for some fresh air.  The room was quite warm overnight, and I didn’t see a way to turn down the heat from the radiator. Lots of free parking right in front. A very comfortable stay!

Comfy Stay

It is situated just beside a main road, so always noisy area. Dining room is not at the same building of the motel. So going to dinner being a new comer is not very safe or comfortable option.

Bed was most comfortable but the noise from the street was loud but other than that our stay was good

Do to the weather system thawent through SK/MB on Sunday, we were unable to fulfill our reservation.The reservation was cancelled but we hope to fulfill the stay in the spring. Thanks for your assistance and we hope to use your services again.

It was a room with a bed and tv; no microwave or kettle. Clean and comfy bed.

No frills old hotel.

We stayed one night, ended up with a room not facing Portage Avenue, so little less noisy, but was over the restaurant so a bit noisy in the morning.
