The view of the harbor and the ships from our room was very nice The breakfast voucher was great also although I’m not sure that comes with every stay ? The neighborhood is rough right around the hotel. Lots of people walking around with no where to go and many people living in tents in the near by area The hot tub is like one you would have on your patio at home .

I flew my son to Thunder bay, as my son was boarding the St Lawrence ll Tall Ship . I requested a lake view. I was so excited to be able to see all of the Marina and docks. and the top of the tall ship I speak of. So many large tanker style ships on the lake. And they lit up at night. The staff at the desk upon my check in were so great to speak to. They knew I was interested in the history of the hotel so they shared stories. There’s a tunnel from Prohibition under the hotel. Cool. Large room. I liked the style. Clean. Well priced. Sure there are a few things like the back stairs up to the rooms that could be changed but. Only a few guests like me used them. There’s a wonderful walkway from the parking lot to take you down across the road. There’s a spash pad, and a restaurant there. And beautiful boats to look at. I ate twice at the restaurant in the hotel. The food was good and the staff are nice. Fast service. I met a former Sea Cadet like my son. Lovely waiter that waited on me. I was there by myself. But I had a lot fun. I hope this area continues to improve. And I wish this hotel the best. I will come back. It was just so interesting.
