We've stayed at the Norwester for the last 2 visits to Thunder Bay, and will be agian shortly. The first time I went, I was not feeling well and the kitchen staff went beyond my expectaions to make me feel comfortable. The rooms are clean, the pool and rec area are maintained well and the facility is quiet. The staff... More

Nice rooms, great staff, lovely atmosphere. Have used this property for many years and have stayed in everything from the standard room to the most exclusive suite. Always a pleasant stay. Property is often busy, especially winter weekends when hockey tournaments are on next door but the staff is always ready to please.

Staff is very helpful and friendly. The rooms are very clean with a comfortable bed. As a business traveler, I appreciate the stable internet connection. The onsite restaurant is also very nice, although a touch expensive.

I stayed here a couple nights on business. It's only a few minutes from the airport, and TBay isnt' that big, so location isn't critical. I've stayed at Best Western locations across the country for business and pleasure. This one is a motel with a hotel sign. It's dated and needs a big reno. The staff were friendly & polite,... More

First stay in our trip around lake superior with our dogs. Nice hotel outside thunder bay with really nice grounds to take our dogs on a walk. Room was very average but clean, it was nice to have a walk out room for the dogs. Wish they would have offered free breakfast.
