Located less than five minutes away from the aiport, this large hotel is ideal for families. The large indoor pool and water park features a dinosaur theme that kids will love. There are slides and zero-entry pools and even a lifeguard on duty.

Poolside suites are ideal for families who want to stay closest to the pool, but the kids’ themed suites are perfect for kids who may want their own space in a fun room. Colorful theme rooms like the Under the Sea Room has kids living among the fish and sleeping in bunk beds, which are always a good time. The toilet seat size is even taken into consideration in these suites, and features a colorful, smaller seat for little bums.

With complimentary Wi-Fi, XBox, an onsite restaurant and a bar lounge for the adults to relax in after a long day of excitement, Victoria Inn is definitely a victory for families visiting Winnipeg.

There are 260 guestrooms and suites, each with some variety and fun. Kids' theme suites and poolside guestrooms are available and excellent choices for families. Cots, cribs and complimentary Wi-Fi are all available in all of the rooms. An app on your phone is also available rather than having a key card.

Guestrooms

Kids Theme Suites

The kids' room is colorful and on-theme with fish painted on the wall or glowing stars positioned on the ceiling and features two sets of bunk beds (sleeping four). There is a flat-screen television, DVD player and XBox in the kids' room, as well. The kids have their own bathroom as well and it features a child-size toilet seat that fits snug on top of the adult toilet seat, colorful towels and a bathtub.

The second room features a king bed and a sitting area with a couch, a second flat-screen television, mini-fridge, microwave, coffeemaker and a second bathroom.

These themex rooms are also situated in the same wing of the hotel -- one on each floor -- so the kids can get loud and only have the potential of possibly disturbing other kids who are staying in a themed room.
