Very nice place. I’d say likely the best in Kenora for sure. It’s all been renovated recently. The prices are a bit higher than others in the town but looking at all the others the Clarion is by far the winner

hotel is nice because its new. But the room is small for a family. Hotel room rate is sooo expensive for a small room. Everything inside the room (garbage bins, sink, microwave, space inside room is sooo minimal). Not worth the price, but staff are accomodating and nice. 3 star rating for the stay and rate.

The tv had no streaming, not a smart tv. The home button disabled. The tv that came in was all snowy and glitching. The drapes don’t go to floor so the room was bright at 6 am! The room smelled weird. The bathroom tiny. Have to have someone go check your room at checkout
