We checked in late to the hotel on May 18th and went to bed. Around 2 hours later my wife woke up with disturbing itchiness. Then we found a big (bigger than 2 square mm) bed bug which I grabbed by a toilet paper and wrapped it. Then we could not sleep any more as further bites took place and... More

I stayed in Thunder Bay for two nights. The first night I was passing through as planned, and the second night was due to a massive snow storm that prevented me from hitting the highway as planned. The staff are very helpful and friendly, an older gentleman was having trouble accessing his room and the guy at the front desk... More

Hotel was centrally located and easy to find. Very close to all the big box store. Stayed here one night with husband. First order of business: bed bug check. Found none. Then, like I would in any hotel room, I used lysol wipes in the high traffic areas. The room was clean even before I did this. However, a more... More

Thunder Bay as a whole really doesn't have much to offer in terms of Hotels. I paid $140 for 1 night and 2 beds. The breakfast in the lobby the next morning was nice and the staff is friendly, but it's not exactly classy.

We stayed here 2 nights and booked through a discounter. The Front Desk couldn't have been nicer or more accomodating. We have a 'service dog' for my wife and any extra charge was waived. Halls, room and public areas were very clean. Our room had 2 double beds and was on the smallish side. But at $69 per night, acceptable!... More

Been reading through the reviews of others regarding this Econo Lodge in Canada. One review said they didn't feel safe. FWIW, Thunder Bay has good police protection. I didn't receive the same feeling as that reviewer. This is a fairly basic motel. That being said, the people running it were helpful and extremely friendly. Everything in the room worked. We...
