In my opinion, this is likely one of the better hotels in the area, and it is a landmark as well at the waterfront, so I figured it may have a better standard than some of the others. Since I have never stayed anywhere else in Kenora, I am not sure if that is true. But I will talk about the good and the bad with my stay. The Bad ------------- There was two beds in the room, and when I sat on the first one, the springs were gone. I sunk like a stone, and the springs made a very loud protest. I crossed my fingers and thankfully when I sat on the second bed, it was perfectly fine. The shower had very little temperature control. When I had the shower's hot water tank cranked on high, it only came out warm. It wasnt cold and my showers were confortable, but I couldnt add more heat. Room service did not show up every day. Matter of fact, then showed up once. By showed up, they asked me in the hall on my way out for DINNER if I required service. I said yes. The other days -- no service at all. The Good -------------- The staff were very courteous. I ran into nothing but nice people. The pool is gorgeous. Its on the top floor of the hotel with a stunning view of the lake. The restaurant was very good (but pricey for Kenora). Regardless I ate there once, sometimes twice a day, because the food was consistently good, and the view of the lake was outstanding. The rate was fair. I paid $104 a night, which i thought was an awesome rate for the location.

There are many options for both food and drinks. They have many options for locally brewed drinks as well. The sweet chilli wings were delicious but very spicy so be wary, but the portion was plenty. The burger and salad was also delicious, the salad was especially stand out with many mix ins. The ciders were also good, perfectly sweet. The vibe of the brewery was very warm and welcoming. Many screens going as well and I heard they have a projector for when games are playing. Overall a cozy and welcoming place with many options, I recommend if you're in the area!

We love their soups (Mulligatawny is our fave) as well as their many sandwiches. This is a very popular place so get there early or be prepared for a wait (especially if it's raining and they lose their outdoor seating). Their beers are exceptional so don't forget to give those a try

Those who are observant will also notice that the other side of the parking lot was the location of the first air mail flight in Manitoba (1927). Look for the stone mini-monument. The inside looks like most other small-town pubs, with the dated wood paneling. The bar itself is on a raised area at the back. There is a dance floor as well, but it seemed like nobody used it. There is an actual mini-liquor store in the very back, around the back of the bar counter. Good to know as the local MLCC (government liquor store) closes early most days. The other thing to mention is that this hotel also has a Chinese restaurant, accessed through a side door next to the bar counter. See my review of Lake View Restaurant. On Fridays and Saturdays, there is a steak night. Seriously, you have to hit this up. I had the 16oz T-bone. This dish comes with onion rings and coleslaw by default. You can pick between wedges and fries (I chose wedges). The steak is one of the better ones in recent memory. No gristle or tendons, and a very decent cut. Served with sauteed mushrooms on top. The bun was meh, and the onion rings and potato wedges were also nothing special. I enjoyed the coleslaw though. Really liked how they didn't drown the thing in dressing. 4 stars for the steak, and 3.5 stars after factoring in the sides.

I started my meal with The Cornerstone Salad (mixed greens, strawberries, red onions, feta, candied pecans, signature strawberry balsamic vinaigrette). I was blown away by this salad. The greens were fresh, the strawberries were ripe, sweet and plentiful, the candied pecans were crunchy, and the signature strawberry balsamic vinaigrette brought all the flavors together perfectly. It was a lovely light and refreshing salad. For my main I ordered the Chicken Bacon Mushroom Carbonara (fettuccine, roasted chicken breast, applewood smoked bacon, sauteed creminis, garlic Back Oven sourdough). This dish was so rich and decadent - a heart attack on a plate - but delicious! The flavor of the sauteed creminis was enhanced by the creamy sauce, and the smoked bacon added a nice overall touch. Service was OK; I did takeout and it took much longer for the food to be ready than originally promised, but the wait was worth it. I also absolutely loved how all the takeout packaging was eco-friendly, no plastic at all! Street parking available. TLDR; good food, eco-friendly takeout packaging, highly recommended
