The property is outdated, worn, and deteriorating. Very noisy due to close vicinity to Hyw 17. For $165 a night for a premium room with poor amenities and below average cleanliness? Bad deal.

There's limited accommodations between Thunder Bay and Dryden. It's all you need while you're crossing the country. Or moose hunting. Friendly staff. I'd recommend it!

Campground cabin motel. Nature outside and inside. Food options on the road as you arrive or leave. You can safely go outside, which isn’t something Thunder Bay can boast about. Oddly nice toilet paper in contrast to everything else.
