Chose this hotel for the location and it's history. Big mistake. I booked a junior sweet. The part of the sweet without a bed had no working lamps, probably to hide the disgusting stains on the couch and carpet. The room was also haphazardly thrown together with random chairs. The front desk staff were great. Security looks at everyone as suspicious, so no discrimination there. The historic hotel has seen better days, hopefully it will see better days in the future. Would not stay here again.

We were in town for a wedding but only one might at this hotel as it was close to the venue. Our room was huge, with a nice second bedroom for the kids. Everything was quite dated, though it was clear they’d made some attempts to update. The young woman who checked us in was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the next morning we woke up to no power in our room — in fact, the whole building was out. That meant no elevator from the 5th floor, cold showers, and very little lighting. We tried showering with the door open for light, but the water was freezing. When we took the stairs, they were extremely slippery and poorly lit, so we used our phone flashlights and held the kids’ hands the entire way down the narrow, dated staircase. When we reached the front desk to ask what was going on, they said the power was out in the area — fair enough, things happen. But we also asked if our breakfast coupons could be used later in the day or the next morning. This time, the woman at the desk was curt and unhelpful, simply telling us it wasn’t her problem and that if we were checking out, that was all we’d get. The lack of customer service in that moment really soured what could have been a decent stay.

For safety reasons, I down voted the property condition. There were no security lights in the stairwell and they are extremely steep and narrow. The power outage was unexpected, but the security lights not coming on after the power went out is unacceptable. The last set of steps had security lights. The elevator was also dysfunctional the evening before.

Skip this hotel. Choose safety/cleanliness.

Room carpeting was filthy, hallway reeked like pot. Homeless, drug users outside in parking lot and inside hotel, felt very unsafe. Drug paraphernalia in parking lot and nearby sky way. Pool area in poor repair, mystery chunks floating in pool. Main elevator broken. Had to use staff? spare elevator which barely fit a luggage cart let alone extra people. Front desk person rude when attempting to check in. Would not recommend.

Old in every way

Understandingly its in the name of the hotel. The elevator did not work, created delay, the cleanliness of the shower was sub par, i wouldn’t take a shower without my sandals. But the security was on point with the exception of one sleeping in his car in the parking lot of the hotel. I get that their security might work double shifts but this should be looked at.

The food was pretty good in the dining room. Great breakfast included. The bed was tiny, but that was all that was available. It was ok. The hotel is very old and beautiful in its time. It could do with a reno- carpets,walls, furniture in the dining room looks almost original (1914). Staff were friendly. There is only 1 elevator for this very big hotel and small at that. It only fits a luggage rack with 2 people. Staff is using it too, so we had to wait 10 minutes to get an elevator to take us down to check out with all our luggage. The view from our room was nice and there is a nice walk along Lake Superior right across from the hotel.

A very interesting historical building and it’s pretty cool that It’s still operating as a hotel. I was very comfortable in my room. The staff was friendly. I had noisy neighbours downstairs, but that’s no fault of the establishment. Other than that I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Thunder Bay.

The check-in took forever, I was the only one there, just incredibly slow, plus a huge "damage deposit" was put on my card. The hotel advertised it had a pool and hot tub, but it was closed for hours for a "private party" so we were unable to use it. On a busy Saturday the pool should be open for all guests since we are paying the the amenities. Room was clean but extremely dated, peeling paint on the walls, very little ventilation in the bathroom. The main elevator was broken and the service elevator was cramped and tiny. Most likely will not return and would not recommend.

Charm of old building - challenges of old building

Charm of old building meets challenges of an old building. Especially electrical and elevator. Front desk friendly but understaffed.
