Location was great, breakfast was superb, views are amazing! We got upgraded to a king room with exterior access and it made our stay 100% better. Definitely recommend this hotel for a staycation or if you're looking for a relaxing stopover after a long drive, we did not use other amenities as we were just there for a night.
No complaints whatsoever

This hotel is located in the outskirts of Thunder Bay, ON and was once a ski resort. It has a restaurant that is reasonably priced and a variety of menu selections. Room was clean and bed was comfortable.
Staff at restaurant serving breakfast were not very friendly. The rest of the staff were OK otherwise.

We loved our room however when booking the room on the booking app it told me it was a top floor king suite which is not what we got but we still liked the room we got.
The broken sliding door in our room was annoying and the curtains were filfy. Husband also got sick from the food at the restaurant.

The hotel staff were very kind and really friendly. The in-house restaurant was fabulous! Their staff was great to talk to. We loved the view of the sum coming up over the mountain!
Not so big on the beds. They were probably fine, but both my partner and I have chronic back pain, so it was difficult sleeping.

We love the country location where we can walk all around the property with our dog on a series of paths around a beautiful pond with views of the sleeping giant.
The staff didn’t tell us that some of the cable tv stations were not working. I was looking forward to seeing the NFL game but that station was not working properly.

Big pool and hot tub Breakfast was amazing Nice to be able to sign in to my own YouTube account Nice balcony/view Beautiful scenery to walk around
Pillows weren't the most comfortable Hot tub was nice but could maybe use a face-lift.

very handy to have the restaurant in this facility, as the location of the hotel is about 9km away from the city center. Pleasant dining room, clean Food could be improved No water offered
dinner was disapointing, I had the steak salad. The description on the menu read better then what was presented. the steak was not hot, and had a cold grease after taste, with next to no goat cheese. The carrot cake was partially frozen also

Great location, staff were great. Facilities were excellent.
Had some trouble getting door to lock on room 103. Had to pull very hard for latch to catch. Some dust bunnies on the ceiling from air conditioner fan.

There were full service breakfasts included every day in a bright and cheery dining room. The view from our room was lovely, and the hotel was very quiet. Beds were exceptionally comfortable. Great restaurant right across the highway.

Great location on the outskirts of town with a lovely view from the room. There is a restaurant in the facility and a full breakfast was included with the stay. All staff we met had a positive attitude and were very friendly. I'd highly recommend this hotel.
