Winnipeg, Manitoba is surrounded by the Perimeter Highway, which actually comprises two roads. Provincial highway 101 and Canadian highway 100 work together to give you the option of avoiding city congestion, if they want. Along the way, motels and hotels offer you choices of where to stay for a night or, in at least one case, significantly longer.
Rivercrest Motor Hotel is located north of Winnipeg. It offers a motor hotel, restaurant and bar, and gives you access to both Winnipeg and the Interlake Region--the parking lot is large enough for boats. The hotel is located at Perimeter highway at the route 52 exit. The on-site bar includes pool tables and cold beer, which you can enjoy indoors or on a heated patio. If you need to get online, Internet is available in both the dining room and motel rooms. Your room comes with climate control, bathroom, TV and free local calls. You may request nonsmoking rooms.
