Wonderful hotel. Possibly the best hotel gym I’ve ever been to. Only reason for not giving 5 stars is because there is nothing to do outside the hotel.

Located in outside of the crowd of the city in the hearth of nature with great scenery to Fort Williams highlands. limitless scenery was amazing, try to get the room overlooking the rocky mountains in the sunset.

This was a great hotel. A little outside of thunder Bay, but well worth the stay at the base of the mountains. Our room was large and clean. Enjoyed the access to the outside through a patio door. Would definitely stay here again.

I only needed the room to catch an early morning flight. The room was clean, but a little dated. The shower was amazing and the bed was quite comfortable so the room suited its intended purpose.

We like the room with balcony and view on the mountains. The restaurant was disappointing for dining as many items listed were unavailable. We were also unable to use the pool due to a group class organized by guest and not posted by the hotel.

This hotel was not bad, the only downside is that the washroom was not spacious. I loved the food they have at the menu. Although I didn’t swim in the swimming pool, it looked really clean. In my opinion, this hotel was nice, clean, and comfortable. I would recommened!

Thank you so much for the surprise upgrade to a suite! Very nice hotel and restaurant (we had the bison burger which was very good + 1/2 price bottle of wine as it was Wednesday) :) To top it off, full service breakfast was included the next morning. Thanks Again for everything!

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The staff throughout - whether the front desk or the restaurant, pool, etc., were all very friendly and professional. We stayed there twice recently and both times our rooms were very clean, it was quiet, and we reserved rooms facing the back - the view from the room/balcony is lovely! The grounds are also very pretty. The gym is very well equipped and the pool area was great. The restaurant was nice, and the food excellent. Having a full-service, menu-choice breakfast included in our stay was very appreciated. It is a very short drive to shopping centers, etc., but we really liked being away from the hustle and bustle. I also felt very safe to go on power walks alone. I would highly recommend staying there, and will do so again!
