The Mount Royal Hotel is an apparently down-and-out hotel/bar in a declining part of town. Just come during the day, unless you want to see the dancing girls and have some drinks with the roughs.
The Mount Royal hotel was no doubt built around the turn of the century (maybe a bit before) to serve travelers on the Canada Pacific railway. The grand 1904 CP depot is a block to the east.

A mattress fire at the Mount Royal Hotel evacuated the building on Thursday afternoon. Emergency crews were called to Main and Higgins at around 2 p.m. and quickly controlled the flames, which were confined to a mattress inside the hotel. Winnipeg police had traffic in the area blocked for about an hour before guests were allowed back in. No one was injured. (MAURICE BRUNEAU / CHRISD.CA)"
