The hash was quite dry and flavourless. The portion size was good though! The breakfast skillet with chorizo was pretty decent - nothing to write home about and on the smaller side portion wise. Others in my party ordered the breakfast poutine and it was MASSIVE (no one was able to finish it). Service was friendly and courteous. Prices are also very reasonable.

There were a couple of tables and it wasn't too busy but the service was a little slow. The food was the highlight of the visit and we were pleasantly surprised. My friend had the buffalo poutine fries and it was good, and I had the daily fish special that was excellent. The fish came with potato chips instead of fries, but they were house made and very good. No refills on the drinks, however prices were also decent for the area. Overall this was a solid bar menu and it looks like it can be a good time when they have live music. My only recommendation would be to address the service and add a few more options to the menu and then we have a gem.

Reception staff excellent. No executive lounge but was given breakfast vouchers good for their continental breakfast. The voucher could be used toward main menu items worth $13 CAD. Great food at the restaurant with attentive servers. The Sunday brunch is extensive and we were allowed to use the voucher toward it. However we were misinformed as voucher is only good for continental breakfast, not brunch. The manager made an exception due to misinformation. Kudos to the manager. Room very clean. However, housekeeping did not do a thorough job first night (trash not emptied, short on towels). Also had to call maintenance to fix TV and repair shower handle. Maintenance was very prompt and effective. The hotel just needs a little oversight on small issues like this. Hotel is located in the harbor district and footbridge gives access to downtown. Not sure I would venture there after dark. The Bright restaurant next to hotel is outstanding. Go there. Would stay there again. Keep traveling.

The towels are new but rough and I mean sun dried rough no fabric softener here folks. And the train rolls right beside the building every hour if that's your thing (reminds me of life at my grandparents house in Coniston, Ontario, at least the bed doesn't shake though.) The YA's It does have a signature bar and restaurant that had live jazz entertainment but it's definitely not worth the price Of $300 a night standard 2 queens. Everything has a charge, they'll nickel and dime you to death here. $10 starting for breakfast might get you a muffin... $25 parking but it's heated underground so I bought that for convenience instead of having to lug the luggage carrier through snow then up stairs into the front foyer ( which really they should have bellboys for that but don't) Honestly I don't know how these big chain hotels think they can drop amenities, gut guest services and charge you on top of the hefty price of a nights stay for less. I'm surprised they don't make you wash the linens when you're done. Being a member means nothing, no perks, no late checkout, unless you're a farmer and think noon is late. LESS FOR MORE pretty much sums it up. Perks? I mean if you're conference is being held here staying here means you don't have to walk across the tracks might be the only perk aside from the view but ya you've gotta pay extra for that too! lol I could go on but it's already 11pm and I've got an early late checkout so.... Book a room at the Holiday Inn Express and be treated like a king for less!

The most disappointing part of the meal was the chilli chicken. It tastes like chilli chicken made from one of those cheapo Indian food marinades you get at your basic grocery store.

This place has a better ambiance though so ‍

Did not go to the restaurant so can't comment except to say if a delivery order was this good I would expect in house service to be top notch as well. Very reasonable price for dinner CAD$ 71.

When we arrived, everything was as expected, until our IDs were checked. I truly wish this was not the case, but it seemed like as soon as it was known we were from the states, everything changed. We requested a lake front room, we got the "back 40" overlooking the hospital and parking lots. We got to our room, walked in and it was basically a sauna. I went to the thermostat to turn on the AC, and to my surprise it doesn't work. After bringing this up with the desk staff, it was clear that they did not care. They were completely dismissive. "It is an old building, open a window (only one window had a screen), want a fan, when did you turn the AC on?!? LOL. What an absolute joke!! We were completely dismissed. Be AWARE, please do not book this BS place. You might have no heat, no AC, be in the basement, what a joke. As a side note: Thunder Bay is an absolute joke right now. We stayed one night even though we were booked for two, and we saw Las Vegas drug zombies around. Right in front of us people were falling out. Unreal, and sad. Send this around, give awareness.
