    Being next to a hospital, it was a little noisy at night.

    Room was spacious. Nicely setup. Good value for money.

    Run-down area close by. Breakfast was not great. Service mishaps? (Room missing sheets for pull-out couch, missing towels, and didn't receive requested items after being told they would bring up - could have been miscommunication as we had the 'Do not disturb sign on'.). Wish they had more highlights of the history of the building.

    Gorgeous building and rooms! King bed was divine. Walking distance to some restaurants. Staff were very friendly. View from the front towards the water!

    Breakfast was meagre. Why does a hotel of this standard have paper bowls and plates, and wooden cutlery? It’s demeaning for guests.

    Striking building. Room was comfortable, bed was very good, bathroom was modern and very clean. Lots of Thunder Bay’s foodie scene nearby.

    Our room was at the end of the hall in the basement and while the room was lovely, I felt a little freaked out coming and going from our room because of the hallway and being tucked back in the corner. We would still stay again though, but I would request a room on the main or upper floor.

    This is a beautiful historic building. They’ve managed to maintain some of the historical details and it looks quite magnificent from the front. Our room had 4 nice big windows and very high ceilings. It was a really spacious room and it was very clean. The AC worked really well. Our room was very cool when we arrived. The staff were warm and welcoming. It felt safe walking from the hotel to the restaurants downtown closer to the water. We were pleasantly surprised by how clean the streets were around the area. The view of Lake Superior is quite good from the hotel - even from our room on the lower floor.

    The room we stayed in was below the breakfast room. The noise from staff during the night was excessive. When we complained in the morning the staff said oh well we try to be quiet. We never heard from the manager.

    The room was well appointed and clean. The bed was comfortable.

    Our room was directly below the breakfast room and we could hear people walking around and furniture moving early in the morning. It didn't really bother us, but I could see guests who wanted to sleep in not liking that. We were in 8005. Also, the breakfast area tables were not cleaned/wiped regularly as guests left.

    The room was super spacious, the bed comfortable and the room was laid out well. I really liked the bathroom, too.

    I have to wonder if hotel breakfasts come as a kit for ease of preparation - I feel like I've had the exact same one in several other places across Canada. Cubed potatoes, steamed scrambled eggs, and skinless sausages - also toast, yogurt, and juice. It was nice to start the day with something, but not gourmet I would say. Overall, though, it really didn't negatively impact our enjoyment of the stay.

    The beds were really comfy - a wonderful soft topper made it feel so nice and lush. The room was very spacious and clean, and the bathroom was nice too. We loved the historical significance of the place and that they had done the remodeling into a hotel with such care and attention to detail. It was nice to have a breakfast every morning, with coffee, and we always got a seat.
