I travel quite a bit for business. Whenever my travels bring me to Thunder Bay I always stay at this hotel. I have stayed here many times and never been disapointed or unhappy with my experience at the hotel. Staff are friendly, welcoming, curteous and professional. I appreciate the fact that staff take the time to get to know you... More

My boyfriend and I are moving from Southern Ontario to Alberta, and decided to drive rather than fly. We are travelling with our two cats. I did a search on both the Trip Advisor and CAA web sites, and found a list of good hotels for our one night stay in Thunder Bay. Unfortunately, the town was extremely busy and... More

Nothing fancy, but a clean, well-equipped hotel, located south of the downtown area. Breakfast is NOT included in the night's stay. The hotel is more of a motel than a hotel. More

I stayed one night at this hotel in late March to attend a conference. The hotel is very nice, close to the ski hill and golf course, and right next door to an arena. It is a little bit out of town though, and cost me $28 for taxi from the airport. There is almost no cell service here unless... More

I stayed there last night and was very impressed by the staff. Room was good, bathroom was clean but the shower taps need to be updated. New huge flatscreen tv's really my only issue was the total lack of cel phone coverage which is weird because it's only a few miles from Town. More

Dear valued guest, We are delighted to hear that you were impressed by our staff and the huge flatscreen. In reference to the cel phone coverage, while we have coverage for most large networks, we are aware that Bell celular coverage at our hotel is very minimal. Recognizing that many of our clients are experiencing this problem, we have been... More

While the room was rather comfortable and the staff seemed to be quite accommodating, our recent stay was not great. It started with my bathroom being anything but clean upon our arrival. Hair and soap scum were found in and around the tub. The heater in the room was really dated and we had to endure a really loud fan... More

I stayed here in June, 2011 for a few days for my father's funeral. We also held the reception at the hotel in one of the banquet rooms. The hotel is in a beautiful location just a short drive out of town. The room was nice and modern with free wi-fi. The staff were absolutely fantastic. Extremely compassionate and helpful,... More
