A great stay in Thunder Bay

The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful, check in and check out were very fast. The room was clean and well appointed. The room was a bit small, but the bed and pillows were extremely comortable. Breakfast was good, with a nice selection.

The first room we went into smelled like marijuana so bad the kids were not feeling good turned on the heat and made it way worse we asked to be moved to another room which they did second room was better but the heater either was to hot or to cold no happy medium and when heat was on made such loud noises sleep was horrible after being on road so long we didn’t wanna complain so just put up with it . Hallways smelled of marijuana upstairs on second floor . The breakfast was disgusting stale cereal , watered down waffle mix to the point waffles wouldn’t cook properly and were inedible , English muffins were beyond stale they were more like hockey pucks . I know you get the breakfast included but does it have to be so bad .

They don't have a cart for your luggage and neither did they have a lift. But worst of all the sheet had a blood stain on it which tells me they didn't wash it. Gross people. I paid my money for a clean room.
