Absolutely loved the hotel! Very quaint and quiet. I just recently moved from Thunder Bay and remember this as a functioning court house so it was cool to see the transformation. They’ve done an amazing job keeping the original architecture. I rented a room with a king size bed and sofa bed. The rooms have super high ceilings which always adds to the feel of a room. Everything was very clean and in working order. My only complaint was the lack of heat. I stayed Halloween night and the thermostat had a laminated card stating the heating system was set to a specific temp (68) for our comfort. That the system was currently being worked on and they apologized for the inconvenience. I slept in the robe provided and my daughter slept in her sweatshirt. When we woke in the am it was 63 in our room. I honestly feel like they were keeping the temp that low on purpose to keep heating costs low. The reason I say this is my husband stayed the following week and the heat was still being fixed. This will not prevent me from booking there again I just hope on my next visit it will be fixed because it will be November or December.

No heat no refund. The room had a broken thermostat and they couldn’t fix it. No other room to move to. They claimed to refund me $100 for two days for no heat but when they sent the receipt it was a different credit card number. I don’t own a Mastercard and the refund was put in a Mastercard. Terrible experience

First room had absolutely no heat and it was 59°F. We were offered a small portable heater because they said they had no more room rooms so I went on their website and showed that I could book 2 other rooms. I was told that only one of them were available, which was not the same quality of room. The heat doesn’t work properly in this room either but at least it was a little warmer so they provided us with some portable heaters which has since kicked off the power and now I’m sitting in the room in the dark. Probably one of the worst experiences I’ve had in a hotel. Yeah how long do we have to wait for that woman? We were chatting a little bit and he walks in and I’m like he looked at me. I’m like I’m sorry I was standing here for you said that to her.
