Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Portage La Prairie

Clean room, great pool/slide and gym. Very good breakfast

Pool was great, waterslide was great, breakfast was very good. Room was awesome

We have stayed at the Microtel several times. The staff is always courteous and helpful. The hotel is starting to show a bit of wear and tear but it appears the staff are in the process of touching things up. The pool appears to be an ongoing issue and has been out of order or not heated for several of our last stays.

The hotel was very clean and accessible. We did early check-in so the process was very quick and easy once we actually arrived at the hotel. The hotel is well equipped. The gym is quite nice for a hotel gym. It includes lots of dumbbells, benches, a good cable machine and some cardio machines. There is also a laundry room on site which is quite convenient. The hotel does have a pool. The heater for the pool was not working during our stay so we could not use it. The hot tub was still working fine so we just used that instead. The breakfast was good with slightly different options every day. It was quite good for a hotel breakfast. The room we had was a little bit cramped for 2 adults and a child. It did include a microwave and mini fridge. The mini fridge's freezer didn't seem to work during or stay. Although the room was a little bit cramped it was clean and modern. We would stay here again for sure, especially if the pool gets fixed!

Very nice property and excellent staff! Thank you for being pet friendly

The rooms where clean and comfortable, there where kids running up and down the halls making alot of noise after the 11pm quiet time making it hard to sleep. The pool heater was broken so the pool was really cold. We tried using the hot tub but there was a bunch of kids that came in while me and my wife along with a few other adults where trying to relax in the hot tub, they where spalshing us and jumping in and out off the hot tub. A few of us told the kids to please stop splashing us but they would not listen, and told us off and kept doing it. These kids parents did absolutely nothing, they where sitting in the chairs next to the hot tub watching their kids behave like animals shooting us dirty looks when we told there kids to please behave and stop splashing in the hot tub. The kids also brought candy in to the hot tub so we had a ton of candy wrappers floating around in the hot tub, We finally just gave up and left the hot tub. We did let the front desk know and they apologize. We tried to use the hot tub again the next day but of course the hot tub was out of order. The front desk staff was very friendly especially the lady that worked nights. We where really looking forward to the hot tub, that was the main reason we booked this hotel. I think we will be looking at other hotels if we ever need to spend the night in portage la prairie again. The lady at the front desk did let me know that they will be issuing us some kind of refund through expedia.

Great building and room. Pool & hot tub was nice. Good elevators. Checkin was slow even tho l sent thru details the night before. Breakfast was good. Only drawback is there is no restaurant close by. Gas next door. Hotel looked new within the last 2 years. Laundry is a plus.

The kids loved the waterslide that was on its own, separate from the main pool.

Pool was heated

Breakfast was amazing fresh hot food and a great variety!! The staff was very friendly and helpful. My room was very comfortable and clean. I absolutely love the artwork and had to buy a couple of prints. The pool and hot tub were very nice. Only thing I can say is it would have been nice if the hot tub was deeper but alas I am spoiled at home with a spa. Lol Overall I would have to say that this hotel is one of the nicest I have ever stayed at in Manitoba.

We had stayed at this hotel last year and it was excellent. This time the floors in the hallway were very dirty and the floor in our room was disgustingly dirty and the fridge was not cleaned. The housekeeping was very poor.

Excellent clean place to stay.

There hairs in the bathroom.

Spotless room, wonderful pool and hot tub to use, after a long drive, fantastic staff and great breakfast!

Enjoyed a very comfortable overnight stay in a spotlessly clean and comfortable romm

Clean, new property

The best thing about the hotel was the bed and the breakfast. Very comfortable bed and pillows. Nice hot breakfast. Our room was not clean to my standards upon arrival. When housekeeping didn’t come after the first day, I requested it. I inquired 3 times the second day and they still never came. We stayed 3 nights and were never given new towels, beds made or garbage cleared. I let them know and was given a discount- but I really just wanted a clean room.

Room was ok, had some hairs still in the bathroom. Otherwise it was goid

Clean and nice place to stay for a couple of nights stay on the way through.

The common areas around the property were quite dirty (ie elevator floor). There were several areas of damage (dings) in the wall of our room that were only partially repaired. There was obvious past water damage around the window that had been repaired poorly. The hotel is quite isolated with no outside spaces to encourage guests to sit outside and enjoy the weather. Just was quite disappointing when compared with other Microtels we have stayed at. It is not that old so we were quite surprised at the state of the property.

Terribly uncomfortable mattress and the fan in the room was so loud it was impossible to sleep and too warm to shut off. Felt like a very cheap motel.

Room was immaculate and modern. Beautiful view overlooking the river. Checkin was quick and the attendant was very friendly.

The shower didn’t have enough pressure. It just trickled out but aside from that this day was excellent.

The hotel was very noisy, people talking and in the halls very late, past midnight. Didn’t have very much sleep

Pros: - New hotel so everything looked modern and was in good shape. - Room + Hotel overall was very clean. Cons: - Heating unit was all over the place - gusting hot air and then gusting cold. Adjusting thermostat didn't seem to do much. - Shower head was rain-head style and had ZERO pressure and no adjustments.

Great staff. Creakiest floor…felt bad for Room below me.

The stay was great. Not sure why but the floors in our room were very creaky and unlevel. Was Very busy with kids and not very sound proof rooms. Big gap under the door. Staff was excellent.

Room was nice. Very clean across the property. Floor had a very loud creak at the foot of the bed. But other than that we were very pleased. We were hoping for an early check in as we had an event in Winnipeg. As a group of 7 with three rooms only one was able to get an early check in. But it was oddly the third pair in our group that they had a room ready for. Two of us asked immediately before and were told no. After we got back later that night the check in was very quick tho. We just had to shift all our stuff from the original room. We were there for Grey Cup in Winnipeg, which our team won. We were still pretty excited so we met as group in the lobby and had some snacks and a chance to visit for a while. The staff was very nice about it and allowed us to use the space. We were a more mature group so wasn’t anything wild. But was nice to sit and unwind for a couple hours before bed.

Clean and comfortable. The beds were perfect. The linens and pillows, too. Towels were fluffy. Breakfast had good options including fresh waffles. A bit of noise from floor above.

Spacious

Very clean and staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. Great customer service!

poor customer service. check in is at 3 but our room wasn’t ready until 5:45pm and we were just told “i don’t know when your room will be done” .. waiting in the lobby with 3 kids wasn’t ideal. staff didn’t seem to care either

The person who greeted us was more intent on speaking around their cup of coffee than checking us in. They mumbled in between sips and offered no helpful instructions unless directly asked. It was like we interrupted their coffee time. We’ve been travelling for three weeks so far, this is the first time we’ve encountered such unprofessional behaviour. The main reason we booked with this hotel was for the pool in which we were informed was “down for maintenance “ Will not be staying at another of these chain of hotels.

In general, I do not like giving negative reviews about properties... but I will make an exception in this case. We stayed at the Microtel Portage la Prairie twice, once on our way to BC from Ontario and again on the way back. On the way out, we had no issues. However, on the way home, at 6pm on the day of our stay, I received a call from the hotel stating that the room I had reserved (and confirmed) two months prior was no longer available. I received no explanation, other than the hotel was "short staffed". I asked if there were any other options and was told that we could be offered a smaller room with fewer amenities on a higher floor. I was also told there would be a $40 reduction in the cost of the room, relative the original fee. After 10 hours on the road and another hour before arriving at the hotel we had few other options, so I accepted the offer - it had the basics of what we needed. However, upon check-out the next morning, I was told there was no record of our room change by the hotel or of the $40 discount for the inconvenience. In fact, I was told that $40 was "excessive" and I would only be provided a $20 discount. Unless there is a health or safety issue with a room, no traveller should be told at 6pm on the night of their stay that the room they reserved months earlier is not available. A reservation is like a contract. Worse is the fact that the terms of the alternative arrangement were not honoured. I cannot recommend this hotel to others.

Clean room. Exceptionally helpful staff.

Friendly staff

I was charged twice for the room and they wanted me to a 3rd time. Both my visa and debit acct was charged, they said the debit declined even after i showed them the that the transaction was charged from both my visa and debit acct, and they still wanted me to pay again

Friendly staff

Great breakfast. Great staff.

The staff were incredibly kind & helpful. We really enjoyed all the options for breakfast in the morning. The breakfast staff was so nice and helpful, we really liked it.

New hotel, clean and comfortable. Friendly staff. Location not so great if you want to be clise to town center

Our company uses the Microtel Portage often because it is a great value, great location just off Highway 1 and the service is always friendly. Great breakfast too.

Great place to stay with a nice view of the lake.

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Portage La Prairie has great location very close to transcanada highway. Rooms are clean. Lobby smells amazing walking in. Great free breakfast options.

Great hotel!! Comfy beds and a full breakfast spread! Nice quiet area also with an outdoor space for pets

Great staff (shout out to Gage 😊). Free bfast. Free bottled water. Close to Splash Island waterpark.

This hotel is a bit removed from Portage itself but close to my uncle’s which was perfect for us. It’s clean, staff were great, breakfast was delicious and the breakfast staff were wonderful! Zero complaints!!! Book it!!

Great place to stay. Dafe, comfortable and convenient location just off highway one. The drive along Crescent Lake was beautiful to see as I drove through to the city.

Like the location

New modern clean hotel. Good continental breakfast. Friendly staff. Close to Stride Place.

Wonderful hotel overall. Lovely staff, fun pool, clean & comfortable rooms.

Pool was great, waterslide was great, breakfast was very good. Room was awesome

Great hotel with a nice design. The dining area is pleasant, and the breakfast was good with a decent variety compared to other hotels in the same price range

Room was clean and staff was pleasant. Breakfast was good.

We booked the hotel because we are travelling. We woke up to a text message sent at 11:00PM the night before telling us the pool & hot tub aren't working. There was kleenex on the floor of the room and hair on the floor of the bathroom. When we went down for breakfast there was no hot food as the grocery order hadn't come in and the waffle maker wasn't working. The shower pressure was virtually no existent. My wife had to wait until we got to the next stop to get the soap out of her hair. Then they couldn't check out because of a problem with their server. Definitely not worth the price!

Nice location, clean rooms, great service. Breakfast was very simple, hardly any options, can be better

Great breakfast. Great staff.

Friendly staff! Great breakfast. Great value!

Breakfast was amazing fresh hot food and a great variety!! The staff was very friendly and helpful. My room was very comfortable and clean.

No baggage carts available on check in. Breakfast poor due to power outage, disappointed with that. Also unable to shower, shave, too dark!!
