A good reset on a long drive east.
By the time we got to Thunder Bay, we'd been on the road from BC for days with our cat Laika. The room was clean, and we left the next morning rested for the trip around Lake Superior. We'd recommend it to anyone crossing the country by car.
Great place to stay, centrally located to good shopping. Staff very friendly. The only thing I had a problem with was with the door to my room, you just had to make sure it latched. Otherwise no issues.
The rooms were fresh and newly remodeled. The breakfast was plentiful but no hot food choices. They really need an elevator. Getting luggage upstairs was difficult. The staff was very pleasant and easy to understand.
We booked at the last second with the Howard Johnson after the Hilton canceled our reservation without notice and left us without a hotel room after an 11 hour drive.
The staff at the Howard Johnson were extremely friendly and accommodating and very responsive to any requests. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. It's a little older facility than we'd typically book but we have zero complaints with anything regarding this property or its staff.
The continental breakfast was also pretty good, though most seem to have some hot food options, which this one does not. It certainly wouldn't deter me from staying there again though. Shower was great - lots of pressure and very hot water (something that was lacking in every other hotel we'd stayed in on this trip lol)
Great stay which salvaged otherwise difficult circumstances
:-)
Room was clean and comfortable. Stayed 1 night with our dog. There is a small green space in front of the hotel and there is a dog park a 3 minute drive away.
Would have liked a small freezer section in the mini fridge in our room. Toilet was in a small space in the bathroom which is very tight for a tall/large person.
Prompt check-in service and friendly staff. However, charging guests for basic wi-fi/Internet access is a little much what is a mid-level hotel. Most guests would expect such as a built-in amenity.
