“The reliable budget option comes through with tidy, wood-floored rooms, plus perks like satellite TV and a full breakfast; proximity to the highway puts essentials like Walmart and Subway just across the way. Though not entirely soundproof, the spotlessly maintained premises and friendly staff make it a solid pick. For value-minded travellers to Thunder Bay, this could be a smart choice.”
