Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Umang, the gentleman at the front desk at check in, was EXTREMELY polite. He got me checked in very quickly with zero issue.
My only small complaint with the property is the “closet” in the room. There really is nowhere to hang a coat or clothing.
Other than that,
As one of the cheaper options in Thunder Bay it met all of our needs. Newly renovated rooms, friendly staff and clean.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
I checked out early as we were in to visit at the hospital and ended up checking out a day early and they agreed to refund the night I didnt stay for even after booking it third party which I really appreciated when they didnt have too.
The room is very clean, washroom is very detail oriented. Bed is comfy and soft. I really like the adjacent facilities including restaurants and convenience stores.
The room smelled like urine and we ended up sleeping in our car in the parking lot because it was so bad and just using the bathroom inside. Don’t waste your money here.
Staff were very nice and facility clean but if you are planning to stay, you won't get too much sleep. Walls are very, very thin. I could hear people talking next door like they were in my room. If you have a busy stay like we did, be prepared for the talking and noise.
