“Average stay. Convenient Location.”
We stayed at this hotel twice with the 1st at the end of July on our way up to northern Ontario and once again on our way back to Alberta. We had rooms on the main floor each time with the room on the back side the 1st time and on the front side of the hotel on the 2nd time. By far, we preferred the room on the front side of the hote as you could park your vehicle directly outside the room door. This made it easy to move our luggage from the car to the room and vice versa. For the room on the backside of the hotel, parking is located alongside the back fence. There is some green space along the back fence and right next door at the Mr. Lube for you to take your dog and let them do their business.
The rooms were average. For the first room on the backside we had 2 beds which were beyond firm. For the 2nd room on the front side, we had a king size bed which again was pretty firm but a bit softer. While I like firm mattresses, this was a tad on the extreme side, at least for us. The rooms had LCD TV's and a mini fridge. For whatever reasons, the mini fridges temperatures were set to the lowest setting. I had to turn it up in order to keep our drinks nice and cool for the next morning for the continuing road trip. There are two entrances to the room, one from the exterior and the other from the interior hallway. The interior doors are not sealed well as you could see light come into the room from the top, one side and the bottom in the evening. This also allowed ambient noise from the hall into the room when people would talk or walk by.
The breakfast room is located on the 3rd floor and is basic with the waffle machine, a selection of bagels, toast and apples/oranges. They served pre-cooked hard boiled eggs.
There are computers w/ free internet access at the lobby area for hotel guests and I found it pretty convenient.
While the hotel was okay, the staff were very nice and polite. Both my wife and I agreed that if we're in Thunder Bay again, we'd look for another pet friendly hotel first before considering this hotel because of the beds alone.
Room Tip: Get a room on the front side of the hotel.
