The hotel is a walking distance to Safeway and shoppers. The hotel does not have a restaurant as it is under renovations, but you can drive out to fast food places. The room was clean. The furniture in the room is lovely, love the bathroom, and the views out the windows. This place is not bad despite it being in Kenora.

The lobby is very bright and looks like it’s recently received a facelift. The staff was great, check in was easy and parking is well lit, easy to access and monitored 24hrs/day. Room is slightly smaller than I expected but everything appears very clean and new. The property looks even better in person than the pictures.

Very nice place. I’d say likely the best in Kenora for sure. It’s all been renovated recently. The prices are a bit higher than others in the town but looking at all the others the Clarion is by far the winner
Nice dock area to walk out on and relax
