Bun was fluffy and buttery. Good amount of lobster. Fries and homemade ketchup were good as well. Also a nice touch that didn't go unnoticed was that they gave 2 lemon wedges, one for each sandwich, much appreciated. Cobb salad was excellent too. Good ratio of toppings to lettuce. Blue cheese dressing was delicious. Salad was pre-chopped and tossed in dressing which was nice. Service was good as well. Overall a great lunch, happy we gave it a try while in town.

Reception staff excellent. No executive lounge but was given breakfast vouchers good for their continental breakfast. The voucher could be used toward main menu items worth $13 CAD. Great food at the restaurant with attentive servers. The Sunday brunch is extensive and we were allowed to use the voucher toward it. However we were misinformed as voucher is only good for continental breakfast, not brunch. The manager made an exception due to misinformation. Kudos to the manager. Room very clean. However, housekeeping did not do a thorough job first night (trash not emptied, short on towels). Also had to call maintenance to fix TV and repair shower handle. Maintenance was very prompt and effective. The hotel just needs a little oversight on small issues like this. Hotel is located in the harbor district and footbridge gives access to downtown. Not sure I would venture there after dark. The Bright restaurant next to hotel is outstanding. Go there. Would stay there again. Keep traveling.

The towels are new but rough and I mean sun dried rough no fabric softener here folks.

The YA's It does have a signature bar and restaurant that had live jazz entertainment but it's definitely not worth the price Of $300 a night standard 2 queens. Everything has a charge, they'll nickel and dime you to death here. $10 starting for breakfast might get you a muffin... $25 parking but it's heated underground so I bought that for convenience instead of having to lug the luggage carrier through snow then up stairs into the front foyer ( which really they should have bellboys for that but don't) Honestly I don't know how these big chain hotels think they can drop amenities, gut guest services and charge you on top of the hefty price of a nights stay for less. I'm surprised they don't make you wash the linens when you're done. Being a member means nothing, no perks, no late checkout, unless you're a farmer and think noon is late. LESS FOR MORE pretty much sums it up. Perks? I mean if you're conference is being held here staying here means you don't have to walk across the tracks might be the only perk aside from the view but ya you've gotta pay extra for that too! lol I could go on but it's already 11pm and I've got an early late checkout so....

They treat you like you mean something to them and they don't nickel and dime you to death like super corporate box with a bathroom bring your own toilet paper or they'll be a fee type hotels. They care and they know your money spent needs to be honoured. Clean, comfy, pool and hot tub (something that usually gets filled and cemented) and the pool is open till 10pm! Member perks are amazing, shrinking but still enough to say members have privileges! Like 2pm checkout! You do have to stay twice as many times to get a free nights stay but it's more than a box with a bed and water closet. I feel at home here. I even bought all the linen, comforters and pillows from the Sault Ste Marie hotel at cost because I had the best nights sleep and wanted that at home too! Make your money mean something again. Stay here and be the king and queen you are!

I sat at the bar, and the bartender made a delicious suggestion for both a beer and food. As a Texan, it was odd to me to be eating a BBQ pork sandwich in Canada, but it was delicious. It paired well with my beers, and was a different BBQ taste experience than I had tasted before. The bartender, Oner, turned out to be the owner, and he made a few suggestions for other places to eat at while I was in Thunder Bay. Both were excellent selections as well! Appreciative of great hospitality, cold brews, and warm food.

There were a couple of tables and it wasn't too busy but the service was a little slow. The food was the highlight of the visit and we were pleasantly surprised. My friend had the buffalo poutine fries and it was good, and I had the daily fish special that was excellent. The fish came with potato chips instead of fries, but they were house made and very good. No refills on the drinks, however prices were also decent for the area. Overall this was a solid bar menu and it looks like it can be a good time when they have live music. My only recommendation would be to address the service and add a few more options to the menu and then we have a gem.
