I thought the old Hotel would be a great experience. No place to eat and everyone seemed like so "High". Room next door had a crying child left alone. Homeless people on bridge drunk.

Bring ear plugs.

This hotel, unfortunately, did not live up to expectations. The walls are paper thin so you’ll need earplugs to mask sounds from neighbouring rooms. There was no attention to basic detail by hotel staff. The bathroom sink drained slowly, bathroom light did not work, extremely dirty carpets by the elevator and unclear parking lot exit instructions. Overall, this hotel could have been so much more.

Thunder Bay Gem - Prince Arthur Hotel

Very spacious and cozy room. Beautiful view of Lake Superior! While the hotel is situated in an area that is a little rough, there was an on-site very proactive security guard and the very large and fully fenced in parking lot easily accommodated my pickup truck and attached boat. Highly recommend!
