The room was quite large. The shower head and water pressure in the shower were fantastic. Overall the room and hotel were tired, but served our purpose. It was great to have laundry facilities on site for a reasonable cost. The location was perfect - right near the waterfront and close to great restaurants and the casino. Parking on site was good - lots of spots and easy access to the back entrance of the hotel lobby. We brought our dog and the staff and facilities were very welcoming to her.

Parking is tight if you drive a truck. Breakfast is free and substantial. Friendly staff and helpful. Room was clean and ready even though we checked in early. We choose to stay here when in Canada.

Old building but room was apparently updated. Felt safe. Security on property. Not a bad night. Breakfast was included at the Hotels restaurant and was extremely good. Free parking on site. Worth the price.

The room was not cleaned very well, although it did have clean sheets on the bed. Bathroom tub was so gross and stained. It looked like it had never been cleaned. TV did not work in the room. I would not recommend staying here. The restaurant staff were absolutely incredible and the food in the restaurant was amazing

We only enjoyed customer service and breakfast. Room was nice and big but did not seem cleaned properly. Washroom had a window with no privacy glass or curtain so the front building could easily see inside. Bedsheet was stained too. This hotel was not worth the price at all thankfully the breakfast, check in and check out experience was positive

Well, the room was a shambles and the whole place smelled poorly, but then the whole town smells poorly. Too many street urchins smoking cigarettes all about. Flimsy bef, broken furnishings, garbage in the hall. Breakfast included was decent good bacon - service was good in the restaurant. I don’t know if there is a solution for Thunder Bay. Should’ve been no more expensive than $50.

Property was old and worse for the wear. There was some evidence of attempts at renovations in one room we had but the other had cracked and broken furniture and the bathroom door didn’t shut completely and there were stains on the carpets. Staff was generally friendly. It’s in a good location next to the waterfront and nearby restaurants and we felt mostly safe.

The place was pretty clean except the headboards. I can see why. I took a towel to clean them from the dust and they were hard to reach, super high. I’m 5’5”. The door was hard to open and close, had to slam it. The floor and cupboards in the bathroom had seen better days but the shower was hot and good pressure with a rain head. Great location close to the waterfront even though there are some sketchy characters in the area. We ended up buying some beautifully painted rocks from a homeless man. He was very respectful. Breakfast was great! Had a wonderful waiter! We were actually served breakfast which is rare! All in all i would stay there again! Also the previous guests left their jackets and a pair of pants in the closet! I alerted the front desk on our way out!

6/10 Good

We had couple of problems with no room left for us on wifi but they got us onto the business server and remedied that. Bed came with only two pillows, asked for extra, got them. Staff was very attentive. What I DID NOT LIKE were the spiders. Five dead in bathtub, and another 6-7 were found in the next hour. Very scary for me as I’m allergic to spider bites. Killed another 4 in the morning before I could use the tub. Other than that and a woman begging aggressively in parking lot, well fot over 300.00 it was a price gouge. We’ve stayed in first rate hotels in Vancouver and Toronto and never paid much more. Pics are kind of deceitful as 99 per cent of hotel doesn’t look as portrayed.
