Nice lake view room with floor to ceiling windows. Newly renovated rooms are clean and comfortable. A continental breakfast should be included for this price. Especially considering the restaurant is not open due to renovations.

Pick a different hotel in Kenora

This hotel had no restaurant on site, no bar/lounge and a pool that was closed long time ago and yet they charge $500 per night. Ridiculous! What hotel doesn’t at least have a restaurant?
