Lobby is nice and Katie at the front desk was very helpful. As others have said, the parking is an issue; even driving a small Toyota Corolla, I had to maneuver very carefully through the lot. The signs warning about bear sightings in the parking lot were a nice touch - better to be warned than surprised, I guess. Thankfully, I never saw any of them. My room was clean, but very small, old, and noisy. I also nearly got electrocuted by one of the lamps, which I imagine is why it was unplugged to begin with ("Why was it still there?" would be a better question). The indoor pool and hot tub are great, plus the pool is the only one I've ever seen that's built on a slope.

Booked one night's stay for travellers while they were enroute to Kenora, approx. 2 hours prior to arrival. Received confirmation etc. Travellers arrived and were told that there was no room - even though they found the name of the reservation in their system; the hotel was completely booked! This was the second reservation that was overbooked; they had absolutely no accommodations to offer and were unable to find any other rooms in the city. I called Central Booking and got the initial run around (system not updated; I had to call back in 10 mins.). When I called back I was told that the hotel cancelled the reservation. Central booking could only check other Travel Lodges for alternate accommodation. Could offer nothing more...the hotel said Central Booking made a mistake and overbooked and was blaming it on the hotel's software system. The hotel receptionist tried to find alternate accommodations in Kenora but everything was booked. Travellers re-packed their bags and sent on their way with nothing but a promise that it will be looked into!!!! Close to 3 a.m. after travelling for over 10 hours!!!

There were two good things about this hotel, the front desk staff were friendly, and the air conditioning worked.

We needed a place to stay while passing through. Found this hotel and they had a room for the night. The first thing that hit me was the overwhelming smell of cigarette smoke in the hallway. It was bad. The room was dark and the carpet was disgusting, there was dirt or something all over the electrical outlet where the tv and lamp were plugged in. Couldn't get the lamp to stay on, would press the plug back into the outlet and it would come on, but let go and it would go off. The bathroom had one wall with random hairs stuck all over it, and the corners all had cobwebs, dust, dirt, who knows what else. The shower was okay, but the temperature would change between warm, freezing, and really hot frequently throughout the length of my shower. Some of the towels had stains all over them. We also constantly heard what sounded like people stomping around in other parts of the hotel.

The room was quite expensive for what we got. Won't be going back!

I stayed here in June the room was clean the staff was friendly and helpful. Food at the restaurant is pretty good and not very expensive. Huge pool for a hotel and reasonably priced.
