Can you believe that we have reached April already? Time sure seems to fly. With April comes a favourite season: Easter. People love Easter for different reasons.

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be in management at a hotel? What kinds of duties you would have, or situations you would find yourself in? My name is Stephanie and I’m the Assistant Manager here. You may have seen me in a few of the video posts we’ve put on our social media. I’m here to let you in on some behind the scenes stories of what it’s like to be the Assistant Manager at Roadhouse 52 Inn & Suites.

February 14 marks a day that all of us know. Valentine’s day. A day to celebrate love. Hearts, candies, chocolates and flowers, kids making and handing out cards with little declarations of be mine. Some are cute, some make us roll our eyes.

Happy New Year. I know it’s a bit late, but here we are. New year, new experiences. Are you someone who makes new year’s resolutions? Or are you someone who doesn’t care to make goals at the beginning of the year that you have no intention of actually accomplishing? Whichever category you fall into, how about we make this year the best year! How? Well, here are just a few ways we can make 2023 better than 2022.

Christmas Day is around the corner. Are you ready? So many gifts to buy and wrap, family gatherings, lots of food, and being surrounded by loved ones as you exchange gifts. This is what Christmas looks like for some, but not everyone. As the season comes upon us there are some who have no one to spend the holidays with. There are families who can’t afford to put food on the table or give their kids gifts. For some, it marks the anniversary of someone passing away or taking their own life. So, how can we make this Christmas special?

When most people in Manitoba think of winter they think of the snowstorms that keep kids from school and parents from work, playing guess if you’re on the road, hockey, and Christmas. Some people begin the countdown to summer with the first snowfall. Some dread the amount of money spent on Christmas presents. And there are a few who absolutely love snow and winter. Everyone is different and that’s wonderful. Did you know that Manitoba offers a variety of activities for everyone to do during the winter, and you don’t even have to leave the province. Here is just a small list of things we found to keep you busy this winter.

November 11 marks a day where we take time to reflect and remember. We take time to honor those who fought for our freedom. Sometimes we forget and take certain things for granted. We are free to go to our places of worship. We are free to vote. We are free to make our own decisions. So, how can we spend Remembrance day?

Halloween. Some people love it, others hate it, and yet some are indifferent. Even here at the hotel, each individual person on staff has their own feelings towards Halloween. So, why promote it? Why do a special event to “celebrate” Halloween? It’s all in the heart, our heart, for community and for family. 

Summer is coming to an end. What does this mean? Parents rejoice as their kids head back to school. Kids begin the countdown to Christmas break. Leaves start turning beautiful colors of orange, red and yellow. Ladies flock to coffee shops for pumpkin spice lattes and men get in those last rounds of golf before hunting season begins. Fall is around the corner.

At Roadhouse 52 Inn & Suites, we pride ourselves on having big, beautiful rooms, a clean hotel, and excellent customer service. We wanted to know what our guests thought, so we asked some regulars to share their experience.

Summer is almost here. It is finally warming up. Were you starting to wonder if it would ever get here? I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to get outside and enjoy the sun, the beaches, and check out some hiking trails. 

Spring is around the corner. Some days it doesn’t feel like winter will ever leave. May is approaching us fast, and with May comes a very special day: Mother’s Day. A day where we show moms how much we appreciate everything they have done for us. From changing diapers and wiping noses, to being a shoulder to cry on with your first heartbreak and waiting up late to make sure you made it back from that party safely. Moms are incredible. They are real life superheroes.
