This property is clean and tidy in all areas. The staff are super friendly and helpful. There is a nice sports bar/restaurant a short walk one minute walk from the hotel. They offer a complimentary breakfast that had a variety of hot and cold options. They also welcome pets at a reasonable fee of $15.00. Will definitely stay here again.

A great stay at the holiday inn and suites

We really enjoyed our stay at the holiday inn and suites in Thunderbay. We were there from June 5th. and left on the 8th. Everyone was so helpful and accommodating. From the ladies at the front desk to the dining room ladies and the gentleman who turned up the lights for us in the dining room so we could play cards. So very much appreciate each of them. We love staying at the holiday inn and suites wherever we go. These were top notch people!!!
