This hotel was built in 1901 or around then, there have been absolutely no upgrades! The rooms were dirty, stained tub and toilet. The beds creaked every time u rolled over, only good thing was the view, unfortunately the windows were so. dirty u could barely see it. Pool and hot tub closed for no reason!

It’s a great place to stay meaning it’s in the heart of Thunder Bay. And close to the all the fun stuff. However need to up the security because of the, and I don’t like to see the homeless but it gets repetitive when they ask for money or cigarettes.

The room was fabulously extra large, clean and comfortable. We had a great sleep. This hotel was built in 1911, but has been maintained well. The outside of the hotel however felt very sketchy. There was a hotel security guard that was around. Def needed for the area the hotel is located. The train station is out front of the bay, it’s a beautiful scene of the bay there. The restaurant served a decent breakfast. But only two in our party could eat for free with our hotel stay.

Loved the breakfast. Eggs and sausage with toast and potatoes. I was unhappy that there was no exhaust fan in our bathroom. Also there is laundry but they don’t have change and they don’t sell any laundry soap. So I took dirty clothes home. So sad
