We had a wonderful stay at the Prince Albert hotel! The staff were exceptional from start to finish. Everyone at the front desk was friendly, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. The security staff were also wonderful and made us feel safe and comfortable during our stay. A special thank you to Randy, who worked in the hotel restaurant where we had breakfast. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and provided fantastic service. He really helped make our morning enjoyable! It’s clear that this hotel has an amazing team of people who genuinely care about their guests. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others!

This was once the hotel of royalty in thunder Bay. Today it is old of course, but safe. I am an 83-year-old woman travelling with a small dog and I felt extremely safe at this location. It is old, we’re looking the bed was above and beyond comfortable, and the restaurant provided us with a vegetarian burger that was absolutely fabulous. I was shocked and thrilled. Not luxurious but comfortable and safe. I will stay there again next year on my way west

This is my second time staying at this hotel, I stayed here last January for one night on my way from Winnipeg to Toronto, it was not fancy but there were no negative issues whatsoever. So I decided to book it again when I had to do the exact same trip again this week. The location was great, easy to get to, there was plenty of parking which was free, there was really nothing to complain about.

This is an old historic building that has a charm you can’t misplace in any comments. Yes, it needs a few upgrades, but the room was clean and that matters the most. The staff accommodated us with a change in room to let us view the lake and events that were happening in Thunder Bay. It made the stay so memorable. Then to our surprise we had a served traditional breakfast. And Michelle was the best waitress!! If we ever came back I would love to stay again.
