Northwestern Ontario 3 Stars Hotels

"Good news first- The food and the restaurant were good. The bartender- she was very good. The front desk guy looked overwhelmed and did the best he could. He gets a thumbs up. Hot tub nice and big. Bad- the area outside- sketchy- although the hotel had the foresight to hire a security guard- saw deals going down just outside his view in the parking lot. Found a bug in my room. Sheets were clean but obviously reused- wine stains. Sticky food residue on carpet beside the bed. Thermostat did not work. Had to sleep with the window open. Couple of the lights and outlets in the room did not work. Hallways/ stairwells dirty. Lifeguards sitting next to hot tub- letting small children into the hot tub unattended. I hope the owner sees this- looks like it used to be a good place though management has let it get run down"

"Ok"

"This is a cute boutique hotel. My spouse and myself used to work for the US Court System, so we just had to stay here. That being said, it is very difficult and cumbersome to get your luggage into the hotel - there is no ramp or elevator into the building. There are only stairs into the property - definitely not for special needs people. There are also basically no amenities, there is a gym (which we did not use) and a drink vending machine, that is it besides breakfast. I can understand this is a historic building, but you could have a small bar or at the very least a concession area to buy drinks/snacks. Parking is convenient and free, just need to get your parking pass. We stayed before summer, so there were not very many restaurants/bars in the area open. I expected more of a variety being so close to Lake Superior. I would recommend this hotel for one or two night stay at most."
