We traveled 6 hours from Minnesota to Thunder Bay Ontario only to find we can’t say there because Expedia let us down again. We checked in (Expedia did not share l requested a handicapped room. -Again!! ) we were unable to check in because they don accept debit card or cash for the incidental fee. They said it was their site but not responsible for Expedia. We were screwed by Expedia again. Found out that that’s they do things everywhere!!!! Pouring rain and dark out we had to stay in Minnesota. I. Hate. Expedia.

My initial experience at The Courthouse Hotel was exceptionally positive. While I was initially disappointed to learn my room was located on the lower level, the room itself proved to be remarkably impressive. It was, without a doubt, the finest hotel room I've enjoyed during my annual road trips between Alberta and Ontario. The room's quality almost seemed to be a mispricing, as it was far superior to what I anticipated. In comparison, I recently stayed at a motel in Sault Ste. Marie, paying $20 less, and the Courthouse Hotel was far superior. I highly recommend this hotel and will certainly make it my preferred choice for future travels.

Great location. Rated a 4 as downtown are a bit sketchy but not enough to deter us from walking around. Beautiful building with interesting history. Rooms spacious and clean. Bed very comfortable. Not far off highway. We were fortunate to have had a room overlooking Lake Superior - amazing view!
