The view of the surrounding tabletop mountains is a wonderful backdrop while you take in a meal on the raised deck. The options for breakfast surpass any morning fare given by most hotels. The staff is friendly. The pool facilities are well maintained. There is ample parking. We visited Kakabeka Falls, Fort William, and Chippewa Beach. There were two weddings, one taking place on the grounds with the mountains looking down. Do not stay in town. Stay at the Nor’wester!

This is a great place to stay. I would suggest planning any way possible to avoid thunder bay if you are a traveler but if you absolutely must stay in junkie Thunder bay then this place id a safe place to stay with no one hanging around drinking outside. I strongly dislike staying in thunder bay and at many other hotels like Valhalla i have had confrontations with locals over nothing. This place is like a haven outside of the town a little bit. It is expensive but it is worth it if you dont want to get in a fight outside or your stuff stolen. Strongly recommended.

Free breakfast was good and had great selection. Front desk staff was friendly. Our breakfast however did take a while to come out on the second morning and was cold by the time we got it. There was a dog howling on the second morning (possibly thin walls).
