The room was nice. Staff was great. TV was old box kinda sucked. Would be nice to have a larger flatscreen. Also the pool and hottub were not working or being serviced. I was not notified when i checked in. Would have been nice to have notification while checking in. Was looking forward to a swim and hot tub.

Thank-you for taking the time to write a review. We are replacing the liner in our swimming pool. Sorry for the inconvenience. We have it posted at the desk and on our website. We are getting flatscreens to replace the last few older TV’s

a very elegant, turn of the century (1900) property. Well maintained and very friendly staff. Delicious food in on-site restaurant. Would definitely return. Lake-side view is spectacular!

Good Afternoon Thank-you for taking the time to write a review. We are working very hard on updating this property without compromising the historic charm of the building. I will certainly pass on this great review to the rest of the team. We hope you will stay with us on your next visit.

Grand old hotel

Pros: Character. Nice staff.
Cons: Few more seats in the breakfast area. The 2nd elevator near the stairs reminded me of Tower of Terror at DL. Little bouncy upon stops.
Location: Nice waterfront walks. Tomlin restaurant around the corner. Best day trip was Fort Williams.
OK, so you do have to understand this hotel is 102 years old. But if I wanted to stay at some cookie-cutter box hotel I would have booked there. Nice proximity to waterfront. Dining was good. Right around the corner is a place called Tomlin--great food and atmosphere. I wanted something different, something truly Port Arthur. Nice staff.

Nice view of Lake.

View was great, the elevator was scary though, very rickety. It was an ok room, but had a great location to everything. If you want luxury, it's not for you - if you want convenient and an ok room, it's works!

Older Hotel but reasonable value

An older hotel whose lobby indicates original elegance but is looking a little shabby now. Rooms are clean but small, same with bathrooms although the tile in shower etc. appears to have been redone. Ate in restaurant one evening and the food was good and comparable with outside restaurants, service very pleasant. Pool in basement was definitely old-fashioned but there was a plus in that guests have a separate elevator so that they don't have to use the very small one in the lobby with other guests. There was a hot tub/spa but it had been drained and repaired so we couldn't use it as the water hadn't heated up yet. Although located downtown, many of the more modern shops and malls are located in the western sector and therefore a 10-15 minute drive away. We were able to get a room facing the water which was nice but view was limited because of old-fashioned narrow window design. Although the area looked a little rough, we had no difficulty in parking our vehicle outside etc. nor was it particularly noisy however we should note we were there in late October so definitely not height of tourist season. Overall we found Thunder Bay to be a little dismal looking, panhandler approached us on the street and city gave the overall impression of being a little shabby but we didn't spend long (2 nights) so we may be a little unfair. The name and write-up gave us an impression of a grander hotel which appeared to be giving very reasonable rates. Once we checked-in we realized that it was priced to what we were getting and, the material on hand actually refers to it as a motel not a hotel.

Beautiful Views

The room was great for the money - nice and spacious. Beds were a little on the hard side for all of us but still had a good nights sleep despite being near the train tracks (which you didn't hear at all) Breakfast in the hotel restaurant was excellent value with more then enough. Easy walk to many near by restaurant and to the lake front. Ask for room with lake view as there isn't much to see on the city side. Location felt safe.
