**** Overall, we had…read morea very nice stay and would consider staying here again. We booked a king room with a lake view, and the room itself was excellent. It was modern, spotless, tastefully decorated, and had a comfortable armchair by the window that quickly became my favorite spot to enjoy my morning coffee while taking in the view. The bathroom was on the small side but was well designed, functional, and had a great walk-in shower. One thing to be aware of is the window coverings. The draperies don't extend all the way to the floor, so quite a bit of early morning sunlight comes into the room. If you're someone who likes to sleep past sunrise--especially during the long summer days in northern Ontario--you may want to bring an eye mask. My biggest disappointment was the lack of a restaurant. We were told it's been "closed for renovations" for about three years. For what appears to be one of the nicest (and pricier) hotels in the area, it's surprising that guests have to leave the property just to get breakfast or even a cup of coffee. The revolving top floor seems like it would make an incredible restaurant with amazing views--I hope they bring it back someday. Given the nightly rate, I expected a more complete hotel experience. The front desk staff were fine, but not particularly welcoming. We also received a rather odd phone call one morning asking whether a woman had been banging on our door. The employee kept repeating "good morning" before explaining why she was calling, which made for a confusing interaction. The outside of the property could also use some attention. The parking lot is full of potholes and definitely needs resurfacing. We also noticed people loitering near the entrance, which wasn't the greatest first impression. One other downside: we could hear guests in a nearby room coming and going after 11:00 p.m., which interrupted our sleep. The good news is that several restaurants and coffee shops are only about a 10-minute walk away, so there are convenient dining options nearby. This hotel has all the makings of a five-star stay. If they reopened the restaurant, improved the exterior, upgraded the window coverings, and polished a few customer service details, it would be an easy five stars from us.

So, as a disclaimer the Travelodge was full, so we stayed in the much older, slightly run down…read moreplace that Travelodge manages across the street. We were grateful for a place to stay because we came into Kenora late and most of the places that we could afford were full. We took the last room in this "poorer relation" from the Travelodge. In general, it was good. Old and outdated, but clean. I liked that they had a full kitchen. We didn't need the oven, but the full fridge was nice to clean out our cooler and not play Tetris with those mini fridges. Decent location as well. The beds were fine, however the room was stuffy. Mind you it was very hot outside. If we were in Kenora again, I would probably not stay here and try somewhere else, but if you are "stuck" it is a fine solution.

Beware the pictures advertised look waayyyy better than it actually is!!! The hallways are dark and…read moredingy and smell funny. The carpet in the rooms is old and filthy. I felt horrible letting my baby crawl on the floor but there's not much I could do. Tried to keep her on the bed as much as possible. The corner of the room had a large red stain - hopefully nothing died there. The bed linens were clean but the beds were springy and worn. The bathroom vanity looked new-ish and clean as did the tub/shower. Stairs - no elevator at the back where you park. Not sure if there is an elevator at the front. Cheap pet fee of 15$ and convenient location are the upsides.

The rooms were very clean and looks like they were recently spruced up with a clean white look. We booked this hotel because it was cheaper then a lot of the other hotels and being Harbour Fest weekend it was a great deal. Our room was on the second floor and there is a view of Lake of the Woods. There is however a long gazebo style hall that is extremely hot because of the AC units but once you're in your room it's very cool. (It was very hot that day so I'm guessing it's not always like that) Definitely will be staying here the next time we are in Kenora!!

From the owner: We are one of the cheapest hotels in Kenora and comes with very clean rooms. read more

Couldn't ask for much more.. except it seemed a little bit dated and not as modern but still very clean regardless. Loved the senic views of Kenora in general and was a nice day to escape the big city. Consider coming here instead of stopping in a bigger city for sure! Is what I would say!!

Worst customer service I have ever experienced. Driving through, with a medically fragile child,…read more we stayed in this motel. The floors are filthy, and the rooms are moist and musty. You can Almost taste the dirty floors, in the moist air. when touched with something white, it turns black. the staff was abrupt, unapologetic, defensive in a blame shifting manner, and blatantly patronizing, After complaining, the front desk clerk, called the manager on us and lied about the encounter. The manager, who seemed nice at first, became openly patronizing, and took the role of mediator, instead of manager of a business. When we were treated terribly, and charged the full overpriced charge, We wrote a review, where they immediately responded by disclosing our very private and personal information and names, in a bid to get us to delete the review. Shockingly bad experience all round.

The restaurant is bright, spacious, and welcoming. Our breakfast was fresh, nicely plated, and delicious. The owners are friendly and cheerful.
