“great value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011

I've been working here in Thunder Bay since the spring and have stayed at the Kingsway in intervals for over a month. I am very pleased with the service and the room. The location is perfect for me, near downtown and very central. It is a very good value

I dont think this motel is as bad as people are saying, at the end of the day it is what you pay for, I found the manager very friendly, and helpful, the motel it self was welcoming, and ok for what I wanted, which was a clean room and a bed to sleep in, I was only their for four days, it was just right for what I wanted.

This is the most disgusting motel I ever saw, the filt in this room was unbelievable , people make sure to stay away, we went back and ask for our money back, even called the cops and they coul’nt do anything about it … check these pics for yourself , I’m outraged, we were there because my very sick husband was transfered in TB and got around 1:h00 am on a Saturday night in march … we ended up with no refund and sleep in the car in the Hospital’s parking lot !!!

“one of the worst motels I've ever stayed in...& I travel ALOT!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 October 2010

people found this review helpful

The manager has no customer service skills...the room was supposed to be a kitchenette but all it has was a fridge, toaster, crappy coffee maker & a hot plate with only one element working. There was basically no dishes, glasses or utensils. Then the manager had the nerve to tell me that there would be a $100 service charge if there were any dirty dishes when we checked out! The room was supposed to be non-smoking but it stunk like it was a party room. It smelled like booze & cigarettes and there were cigarette burns on the rug. The switches on the lamps were broken off and the mattresses were dirty & stained! It also appeared that there were people living there and not the best crowd of people either. Didn't feel safe at all! We felt ill the next morning & quickly checked out & got our money back. The people in the room beside us also checked out & went to another motel. DON'T STAY HERE!!! Unless you want to have a wild party!! ;)
