Given the age of the property, it was in good condition. But, some areas of the room needed painting and there were small amounts of mold in the bathroom. The bed was comfortable. The shower could use some more pressure, but I’m sure that’s a challenge in an older building. My biggest complaint was breakfast. They apparently had just switched over to a new ordering system, so it took 30 minutes to get breakfast and It was cold. I had multiple people try to sell me something in the area outside the motel, but I never felt unsafe.

We needed a place to stay for the night, and this hotel fit our budget (I didn’t expect hotel rates in Thunder Bay to be so high!). It’s definitely a rundown property, but surprisingly, we had a good night’s sleep. The bed was comfortable, and it was quiet enough. Breakfast was actually pretty good—better than expected. Overall, it served its purpose.

Room was very uncomfortable. Mattress caved in on one bed. AC unit mounted 3 inches away from the bed right at mattress hieight so could not use really. Carpet super dirty - there was a big size portable air drying unit placed in the center of the room as if they were trying to dry it out. Furniture dingy and dirty. Corridors dirty and stinky. The location is surrounded with drug users so many seringues and other garbage around made it unsafe to walk around and even very difficult to safely take my young dog for his needed strolls. Staff was very helful and welcoming.

The room was fabulously extra large, clean and comfortable. We had a great sleep. This hotel was built in 1911, but has been maintained well. The outside of the hotel however felt very sketchy. There was a hotel security guard that was around. Def needed for the area the hotel is located. The train station is out front of the bay, it’s a beautiful scene of the bay there. The restaurant served a decent breakfast. But only two in our party could eat for free with our hotel stay.
