I love what they've done to this property - they've managed to maintain the historic charm of the old courthouse while creating a comfortable and inviting boutique hotel experience. The small things, like the toiletries and soft robe, added to the charm. The front desk staff are wonderful. Would stay again!

We got the last room in Thunder Bay available that night. It was well appointed. Room 8005 is located directly below the restaurant area, which is open 24 hours a day. Late and delayed flights / early departures of other guests meant we heard every foot step, chair being dragged, and spoon dropped. We got no sleep. Staff are fully aware of this problem. We were promised récompense and an email or telephone response. It’s been a week and nothing. It should be easy to move the kitchen to the basement by the fitness room. As a guest, avoid the ‘lower level’ (read basement) rooms at all costs.

When we arrived at the property we were pleasantly surprised at how nice the rooms were however there were stains all over the sheets and when tried to have a shower there was no hot water. When I brought this to the front desk they stated “we will get maintenance to look at it”. When I tried to shower later that day there was still no hot water, I went straight down to the front desk and complained again however this time I was meet with “It’s an old building, it will only be warm not hot”… The water was no where near being warm. We tried to move rooms and/or book another room and I was meet with “that room has heating issues”. I am not sure how any hotel can manage like this and expect guest to be ok with the water being freezing and not giving a compensation or having to continue to give compensation.
