Mere Hotel

Ive probably been to about 100 hotels in the past 2 years all over the world. Mere is def in my top 5. Great staff, clean & extremely smart design in rooms, free water, juice, cliff bars and recycling bins avail in room. Overlooking the water and super chill vibes. Super recommended.

Too bad I’m only here for one night, because the Mere Hotel Winnipeg is absolutely fantastic. If you ever find yourself in this city, this is the place to stay. The rates are good and definitely worth it for what you see and get.
The guest services staff are helpful and friendly. Check in was a breeze.
I got a room on the first floor but it was still very quiet and spacious. Just draw the curtains or you will see a lot of people walking and biking by.
The rooms are beautiful and modern. Feels brand new. Molten Brown toiletries, soft bathrobes and a super comfy king size pillow top with stark white sheets. I really love the feeling of how minimalist the design is but still very warm feeling.
Great location within walking distance of the Theatre and Museum districts and next to the waterfront. I took a scenic stroll along the river, just watch out for Mosquitos!

THE place to stay in the hippest part of Winnipeg. 160 $ bucks and 10 bucks for parking. A real deal. The rooms ARE a bit thin-​walled and noisy. However I did enjoy the sex next door. Very hot! Man she was screaming… Maybe she was being murdered! The staff is really excellent. Be sure to have the Eggs Benedict out back at Cibos. Best in Canada yo.

Great boutique hotel in a great location. Beautiful, clean and nice folks at the front desk.

I booked this hotel for my girlfriend since it seemed like a nice way to end our first vacation trip in the Exchange district. We didn’t get the river view but instead got the city view. A little creepy since people can look in from the street being on the ground floor. The one thing to consider that my girlfriend pointed out is that there are those large neon bars covering your window. So, you kinda blend into your surroundings. I paid using Orbitz and had to use credit card for incidentals. Parking is $ 10 and the lot is small. However, I think it is a little price to pay since they do have security cameras around their own lot. Across the street is free but no guarantees. The river view is a bit drab because there was a recent flooding so alot of drift wood. Otherwise, I think this would be a perfect romatic spot. We thought to try the nearby restaurant but then realized we should really go downtown to explore. The hotel desk was nice enough to call ahead and get us reservations the East India restaurant. Plus, the front desk even mailed out a postcard for me too.
For ammenties, the bathroom is well furnished with nice soap, shampoo, etc. However, the blinds are semitransparent against the window from ceiling to floor. Therefore, you may feel awkward using bathroom or taking a shower. My girlfriend had me go to the fitness center to work out while she showered. Let me tell you that the fitness center is small and does not have a great city view. However, the channel selection is even better than in your own room. There is a balcony on the 2^nd floor which everyone has access and it has a nice view of the bridge. For the room, there is a mini-​fridge and glad that water, juice, and CLIF bars are complimentary. Also, there is a Nexpresso machine which makes great expressos in the morning (3 small cups to make your expresso drinks). The bed is super comfortable but the lighting is too confusion. Just stick to a couple of switch or you will be left the challenge of figuring out what turns off that light. The price is reasonable being in downtown but then again I got 15% off from Orbitz. Do some shopping online before you committ to getting a room.

One of the best hotels in a lousy city.

This place is great– free snacks and espresso. Only bummer– $ 10/​night for parking. Seems like on-​street parking is filled, as the hotel is right next to some new condos.
We stayed here for the Festival du Voyaguer– it’s right across the river from the party!

Mere is a modern and new hotel with spacious rooms for its price point. It has a nice central location to the downtown area and is also right next to the river so some rooms have that view. The rooms are clean and fresh and I think you get more than what you pay for overall — I would definitely stay here again.
That being said, the hotel is missing a few things that I am sure will be worked out as time goes on and they get through a little bit of the new hotel growing pains. The first issue (that really wasn’t that big of a deal but was just a little frustrating) was that our refrigerator didn’t work. It was just a box to put food in but didn’t keep things cold (yes, it was plugged in).
On this note, however, it must be added that they provided complementary water, juice, cliff bars and espresso in the room, so amenities that most other hotels would charge for they give out at no charge which is very refreshing.
Also, I am not sure if our room was just missing it, but we found no card for privacy to hang on the door so housekeeping nearly walked in on us. It was fine — we just told them that we didn’t need anything, but a card for privacy would be nice.
The primary issue I suppose (which again is not that big of a deal just kind of weird) is that the bathrooms are basically see-​through unless you have figured out the perfect combination of lighting in the room. The room had a nice modern floor-​to-​ceiling glass panel that separated the sleeping area from the bathroom that included a pull down screen, but the screen was translucent if the lighting combination in the suite wasn’t exact. So if you have the desk light on or the bathroom light off or the entryway off and the bedside light on or whatever combination, you would have to get it just right in order to not see into the bathroom. This isn’t that big of a deal for my husband and I but it might be kind of weird with a business partner or children or something. Again, it’s not that big of a deal and with the right lighting combination you can almost not see through, but it was kind of a weird thing to navigate.
The room had great modern and spacious built-​ins in the entryway area for hanging and storing clothes and nice mood lighting throughout the room and in more areas than other hotels at this price point. Staff were courteous and helpful.
Overall this is probably the cleanest hotel I can recall staying in so that is a major plus.
I would definitely recommend Mere to any friend or family member.
