Review of Delta Hotel, Winnipeg Manitoba

Premium price but rooms not premium.

Premium price but rooms not premium.

Gym has tons of steppers, treadmills, cycles, and a variety of dumb-bells, dedicated machines, universals. Unlike a real gym, there are no free weights (other than dumb-bells) nor duplicates of the universals and dedicated machines so if you hit it at a busy time you will wait. But the universals and dedicated machines are all old. Padding on leg extension machine is so worn out as to make the metal painful. Fly machine has idiotic design where it is more difficult to get into position and exit than to do your reps (only an issue if you push yourself with high weight).

Rooms have modern ipod-docking clock/radios, fancy desk, and some artsy lamps/paintings, but these items look ridiculous in the room that otherwise has worn out furnishings. The glass shower-doors are fine, but rooms with shower curtains cause a flood. Bathrooms terrible compared to the nearby Holiday Inn. Poor air circulation, terrible drainage in tubs and sinks, ok water pressure, towels not fluffy. No fridge or microwave in rooms. Ridiculous that they charge a premium price when they have cut all the corners.

Poor sound insulation. You hear everything going on on your floor, and the clubs and construction going on in the neighborhood.

I had to work some third shifts. When I stayed on a "Club" floor they came around every day to offer me water and a chocolate. They could leave these things in your room when they do house-keeping but they want you to know they are treating you special. I didn't want to use the do-not-disturb sign because I know the room needs to be serviced and would get up for that. I finally told them to stop badgering me. The only difference on zvlub floor is you have to use your key card to exit elevator, they badger you with water and chocolates, and you get glass shower door. Room still worn out and sound installation still sucks.
