Guest Reviews

Nelson (8/5): Love the place, have stayed there for years, - Breakfast was amazing! Next visit is like view of the water Clean place, smell was good The soap, had an allergic reaction, will bring my own next time, had a hard time turning on shower, it was hard to pull, and couldn't get a tv guide Didn't like the tweakers in parking lot, but good to see security. It would be nice if they didn't hang out in over pass
Bev (8/5): -

GoPlaces53734477491 (2/5): Nightmare - We booked a jacuzzi room - when we got to our room it was dirty, old, stinky (not renovated like pictures) and no jacuzzi. We thought they had made a mistake so we went to ask the front desk and then they said - oh, all the jacuzzi suites are under reno. Which is odd, since they have photos of renovated jacuzzi suites online when I booked it... they said they gave us the equivalent suite. We asked to be downgraded to a standard, cleaner room - but they told us they would downgrade us but still charge the same. We would have left if we were not so busy for work. There was a mouse in the room, tons of stains all over the furniture, carpets, and bed, caked on dust on the ceiling fan, mold in the shower, paint peeling off the doors, etc. Absolute nightmare. Nothing was offered to fix this either, no voucher for restaurant or anything at all. No apology either - just take it - or leave. And unfortunately due to schedule, leaving was not an option. What an absolute scam. Also, the parking lot is full of shady people hanging around all hours smoking, doing drugs, and harassing you.
nikkimJ3459ZZ (2/5): Never stay here. - Very racist security guard to the indigenous culture also told guest to shut up for no reason very disrespectful to all the staff especially that one bigger guy with the black hair that’s balding he’s very rude as well
Everett (9/5): -
Peter Steele (3/5): -
Everett (7/5): Was it princely., or not - The other guests were cool to talk too. People in uniforms, I mean costumes
sugarhead (6/5): -
s (7/5): Good - Safe Nothing wrong with the property
Kim (3/5): Banded and disrespected - Juzzuzi tub and the layout of the room There was a mix up with a payment and i happened to.not be there they then kicked my brother out with all my things Nd banded me for accusing me of smoking when i dont smoke..... its to bad i was disrespected.like that because i frequently kike to stay there
SchumacherJack (6/5): A grand old hotel that needs a little TLC - After a very long day travelling from Saskatchewan we pulled in here to get the deal advertised on all the billboards coming into Thunder Bay. As it turns out, there are maybe one or two rooms per night with this low discount rate. So we bit the bullet and paid a little more than we had planned and got our room. It was not properly cleaned so back down to the front desk and now a second room. The front desk people were very helpful and we were satisfied. The best part of this deal was the FULL breakfast included the next morning.
France (8/5): -
Derek (7/5): -
Jeanine (1/5): - Not much. Elevator was not working. Room was very old. Doors didn’t close, bed was not comfortable. Restaurant was terrible. Sent the food back and left with nothing.
Andy (7/5): -
Irene (6/5): - old building. Shower is not very good. Price is a little bit high.
Zach (10/5): -
Uy (6/5): -
Andrew (7/5): Great, historic building in the heart of downtown. A little dated, but very clean and friendly. -
Jacob (9/5): Loved my time here - and you will too! - The building is very historical and in the heart of downtown Thunder Bay. The staff were delightful, the facilities were lovely, and the rooms were clean and spacious. The complimentary breakfast also exceeded my expectations! I'm not a huge fan of the scent of the cleaning products used in the rooms. It left an interesting odor that was hard to ignore.
Andrew (6/5): I’ve stayed here before, and will likely stay here again. - Front desk staff (especially morning staff member), very professional , friendly and helpful. Two fire alarms, one pm and one am. At least I know they work.
CAROL (5/5): Don't think I'll be back. - Anything I liked was over shadowed by hardships faced as a senior. I couldn't even shower. The bed was too soft. There were no grab bars by the toilet or in the shower. The toilets were very low, making it difficult for me, as a senior, to get off.
Michael (8/5): -
Karine (3/5): - Breakfast was good, beds were comfortable. Staff was very rude. Walls were paper thin, could hear people screaming in hallway all night. Very old and damaged.
Kim (8/5): Pleasant and comfortable - Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful Our floor in the room wasn’t completely cleaned from the previous guests. There were false nails on the floor by the bed
Andrew (7/5): -
Mish (4/5): -
Nerissa (9/5): -
Natasha (10/5): -
Anonymous (6/5): - Heat didn’t work in my room on the first night
MacAdam - Hardy (7/5): Would go again - Beautiful architecture, love the location My heat wasn’t working in my room but got a beautiful upgrade for the inconvenience
Mack (10/5): - Cleanliness Beds were not comfortable beds are too small for a couple You could feel the bed springs inside the bed mattress it was not a nice sleep and you can hear the spring when you got off the bed :(
Kenneth (1/5): -
Stephen (1/5): Disappointed doesn’t half describe it. - Built in 1911 I was anticipating a classic charming hotel. Unfortunately, it’s very dated, tired and it looks like the suite doors have been broken into. When I arrived at the beginning of December my first room was 47F. They moved me to room 2 and it was 58F. It took awhile to find a 3rd room with basic heating. Poor.
Riley (7/5): -
betty (5/5): It was ok - It’s a beautiful old hotel, I had a comfy room with a great view of the Sleeping Giant. I was sitting in the car in the parking lot of the hotel during the evening when a man approached from behind and knocked on my window, startled me. Security came and patrolled the parking lot. I remember this hotel from many years ago, in its former glory. It’s still beautiful but it’s no longer a real hotel, it’s more of a residence, subsidized by a bit overpriced Hotel rooms. Drunk or high residents of the hotel wondering the hallways.
Penelope (5/5): - Location is great. Need a bit bigger parking spaces especially for the bigger vehicles. Beds were a bit too hard..
Jessica (8/5): -
Johnson (7/5): -
Brian (3/5): - The view was amazing Jacuzzi was not ment for 2 people and the jets were broken.. The water did not get hot enough plus when we went to bed we found strands of black hair in the bed..
eastcoastwhit (2/5): Absolutely Awful - I Can't Understand the Mediocre Reviews. - I don't understand how this hotel has such a mediocre rating. While the secured (& 24-hour security) parking lot is great, the rest of the hotel is a disaster. The front lobby was clean, yet the customer service was extremely slow. I understand scheduling or staff issues don't always allow for 2 members but it was at least 20 minutes while the receptionist checked in two other couples in queue. The room was a complete disaster. From one hanger in the closet to badly stained carpets and peeling paint on the walls and bathroom walls. The cupboard in the bathroom was broken, with water damage and a chewed up corner, and the taps seemed to be installed backward. The toilet appeared to be an industrial toilet which was so loud, and the bathroom door only closed while being pushed hard. The bed only had two pillows, and the night stands were chipped and scratched. The view of the waterfront would have been gorgeous, had the train not been going by at the frequent intervals it had. Entertainment was great with fights on our floor and noise all night from other guests. 0/5, would never go back.
Mark (8/5): - Historic hotel close to waterfront Thunder Bay itself has challenges of homelessness, vagrancy, and addition.
Verda (7/5): Lovely staff, beautiful view - Location. Beautiful views close to Lake Superior Room is seriously in need of complete renovation
Salvador (6/5): -
Dutil (5/5): -
Reiner (10/5): Clean - Very nice Nothing
Rosemary (7/5): - Location, value and great breakfast. Wasn't as clean as some other hotels.
Sherree (9/5): Would definitely stay again. - Close to restaurants. Nice restaurant. Friendly staff. Quiet. Beds a bit hard
Suzanne (10/5): - It was a beautiful place- I had a view on the Lake and Harbour. The sunset and Sunrise was just spectacular. I like the fact that there was a security gurad near the parking lot so my car was safe and I felt safe when bringing my dog outside. It was very quiet. Loved this stay
Ann (10/5): - Lovely harbour view if u can get it! Close to shopping and sunrise on the water.
Constance (8/5): - Loved its historical significance! Felt like European hotels we’ve stayed before. Would have liked to have more bathroom shelf or counter space for placing toiletries but not a dealbreaker. Will definitely return!
William (8/5): - Given the age of the property, it was in good condition. But, some areas of the room needed painting and there were small amounts of mold in the bathroom. The bed was comfortable. The shower could use some more pressure, but I’m sure that’s a challenge in an older building. My biggest complaint was breakfast. They apparently had just switched over to a new ordering system, so it took 30 minutes to get breakfast and It was cold. I had multiple people try to sell me something in the area outside the motel, but I never felt unsafe.
Kelley (7/5): Would stay again - The age and history behind this place very interesting also quite impressed the knowledge staff had on this place
Christopher (9/5): -
Zaira (8/5): - We needed a place to stay for the night, and this hotel fit our budget (I didn’t expect hotel rates in Thunder Bay to be so high!). It’s definitely a rundown property, but surprisingly, we had a good night’s sleep. The bed was comfortable, and it was quiet enough. Breakfast was actually pretty good—better than expected. Overall, it served its purpose.
Tegan (8/5): - Overall decent and nice hotel. The people hanging out the hotel weren’t great.
Peter Franz Xaver (8/5): - All was great but the room carpet was sticky and we had to leave our shoes on while in the room . Definitely needs a new carpet ! Excellent staff and especially our breakfast waitress !
Cassandra (10/5): - Clean room, friendly and very accommodating staff, pool area was spacious and fun for the kids. 10/10 for our stay!
Robert (8/5): -
Isabelle (4/5): - Room was very uncomfortable. Mattress caved in on one bed. AC unit mounted 3 inches away from the bed right at mattress hieight so could not use really. Carpet super dirty - there was a big size portable air drying unit placed in the center of the room as if they were trying to dry it out. Furniture dingy and dirty. Corridors dirty and stinky. The location is surrounded with drug users so many seringues and other garbage around made it unsafe to walk around and even very difficult to safely take my young dog for his needed strolls. Staff was very helful and welcoming.
Deborah (10/5): Lovely Classic Hotel - Vintage, classic hotel, lovely harbor views. Very clean,, parking and breakfast included in rate.
Joel (8/5): - Didn’t use gym
Jessica (4/5): - Dated hotel in an area that felt sketchy at night. Good to have secueity guard in lobby.
Heather (10/5): - The room was wonderful - very spacious. The bathroom was very clean with lots of hot water.
Josephine (7/5): -
Demosthenes (10/5): - Historical building architecture and the park at Prince Arthur Landing and Marina is just out back of the hotel.
Stephanie (8/5): - 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.
Kirkland (7/5): -
Ofer Eliyau Bin (4/5): - The room is not serviced during the stay, it has to specifically asked. We stayed for 5 days. Even when serviced, only garbage is removed and towels are refreshed. Carpet is very old looks full of germs- must be replaced.
Priscilla (10/5): - Front desk staff are friendly. Old hotel but room was clean and comfortable for the one night stay we needed.
khurram (1/5): Disgusting - Rooms were dirty
Bruce (4/5): - Poor parking lot limited spac hot water slow to get hot.
Kathleen (5/5): - Location, friendly staff The dining room The room really needs renovation. There was no chest of drawers. The carpet definitely needs to go. Add a fan in the bathroom. Add a few comfortable chairs to sit on - not just the bed.
Derek (6/5): - The room was very dated and not very clean. The bathroom was quite small, especially the sink. The was no counter top in the bathroom at all either.
Donald (6/5): - Needs updating
Alexandrea (8/5): - Everything was great. Room was large and spacious. Staff was great. Location is great for actual dining options that don’t include the same old boring fast food chains and exploring the marina and casino if you’re so inclined. Only real complaint is that hot tub has definitely seen better days…maybe decades ago. It needs to be replaced.
Ladawn (8/5): - Hot tub was alright, just needed topping up. The best part was being near the harbour
.Dhiman (10/5): -
Mario (10/5): - Front desk staff was wonderful, very welcoming, surprised us with a complimentary full breakfast voucher included with the room (we thought it was another continental type breakfast like what the chains are offering).
Jay (8/5): - Breakfast was amazing
Sharon (10/5): - The hotel was nice. Excellent breakfast. The area around hotel pretty dilapidated, we would not wander after dark!
Brad (6/5): - Older hotel
Mirza (10/5): - Very nice. Wish they would have provided free toothpaste though.
Eldon (2/5): - The place was terrible. I do not recommend staying there it is not safe.
Dan (2/5): - Wow, what a dump, filthy, bathtub paint peeling,lots of vagrants living here with their pets. Hot water luc warm, and it gets worse.
Amanda (10/5): - Beautiful view
Roberta (4/5): - Room 220 dirty sock by the fridge , box spring had blood stains !! Staff was friendly & kind . The building itself is cool but needs a little TLC. VERY sketchy people in the lobby this morning & outside
Marion (10/5): Old time charm. - Great old time charm. Helpful staff.
Mintz (8/5): - Good location. Was clearly once elegant. Sink was clogged, staff was a little surly.
Lynn (10/5): Great getaway hotel with great value for money - I have stayed at this hotel many times as you can tell from my many reviews. This time I was put in room 503 which was a two room suite overlooking Lake Superior and The Sleeping Giant. Lovely view and soon to be renovated room. They have started their renovations and will soom be doing the rooms. This will make this great hotel even better. They now include breakfast with the room price making it even better value for money. I always recommend this place to everyone.
Tammy (6/5): - The hotel is very dated Our bed felt like a water bed had on the edges and soft in the middle Felt dirty when I flushed the toilet my husband got burnt with hot water in the shower We got bugged with beggars for money and cigarettes Walked the tunnel to access the water and it smelt like urine and there was empty bottles of alcohol all over the tunnel Would most definitely not recommend
Jose (2/5): - Not suited for normal people
Maurice (10/5): - I was really satisfied . People working at The Motel are very nice and we had an excellent free breakfast.
Jermaine (8/5): - 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.
Ian (4/5): - Nice historic property that desperately needs investment. Old grubby carpets throughout, worn out furnishings, unfortunately a strong smell of cannabis in the corridor the night we stayed.
Owenthomas (8/5): May have been a grand hotel once. - Front desk was very friendly and helpful in straightening out a reservation that had been made through Agoda. Lots of wall repairs needed in rooms. Some patches that were never painted. Oddest thing is no window covering in the bathroom window….and nice clear glass. Hotel was quiet. Beds were comfortable and air conditioner worked well. We stayed two nights and although they made up the bed after the first night, they did not replenish coffee or soaps.
John (10/5): - Quaint, older style but clean and well managed.
Shelley (6/5): - Free breakfast was delicious. Room is adequate. Service was good. Would not walk alone after dark.
