Nice spot conveniently located in the heart of Thunder Bay. Staff was extremely accommodating and the rooms were comfortable, clean, and looked like they had a few updates. Hotel is a little dated, but overall a great stay!

Very misleading advertising

Prince Arthur Hotel should not be listed on Hotels.com site! It WAS a grand hotel . Location was beautiful ..with views of the lake . Rooms were adequate . But currently the hotel plays host to mainly Thunder Bay Street people. Often noisy at night . Taking the elevator , cramped and accessed awkwardly off a narrow staircase , was difficult . One night an occupant had a fire in their room , caused by their toaster. On occasion the occupants were pan handling . The hotel is situated in a poorer part of town and we did not feel safe going out after dark. Would definitely not return .

Friendly staff, and the view was excellent. The swimming pool was questionable based on location and carpet, plus lack of security cameras i.e. blind spots. Parking lot does not deter random foot traffic. Room had microwave, fridge, and complimentary coffee and tea, bathroom had available soap/ conditioner plus towels. Tv is working as well with basic channels for viewing Overall a good stay.

I have stayed on the 3rd floor before and it was lovely. This time I was on the 4th floor, maintenance was working on their only elevator and I have a disability. Get to the room, had some sort of smell, the whole 4th floor. Electrical sockets didn’t work, the beds were like toddler beds with like a plastic pee protector, couch was all ripped, no tv in the room, there was a person yelling outside my window. I was too tired when i arrived to switch and had to leave shortly after arriving. Overall not impressed with this suite AT ALL. A suite is supposed to be nice, especially for $200 a night.
