This is a great hotel. It is a short walk to the water front, a grocery story and many restaurants. It is a block away from the down town area which is small and walkable in about 30 minutes. Great views and very family friendly area.

The Courthouse is my go to hotel when travelling to Thunder Bay. It has a charm that most other hotels simply cannot duplicate. It is walking distance to most restaurants which offers guests different culinary choices.

Was a good stay . One of the rooms we booked didn’t have air conditioning . Otherwise it was good
2-night trip

10/10

Had a good last minute stay at this hotel! Only complaint would be our room was in the basement under the breakfast room, and it was very loud through out the morning from people walking around and moving chairs upstairs. As well a suggestion would be to have the doors to the hotel locked and only accessible with a key card overnight. We found the doors were open 24/7 so anyone could just walk in the building over night.

My fiancée and I stayed on our way through town and it was a wonderful experience! The hotel is breath taking and the view of the lake is wonderful. Breakfast was filling and always been replenished by wonderful staff, I would definitely recommend. Only thing other reviews mentioned the sound proofing wasn’t the best and I agree we heard the room above us shuffle a bit but it wasn’t enough to bother us at all.

6/10

We have stayed at the Courthouse countless times. We liked the quietness of the space. Our last visit, our room was on the lower level. Noise started at 5am, the room was located under the dining room, so footsteps, chairs, etc. You get the idea. Breakfast options have gone downhill. We had the choice of cold, hard boiled eggs, a couple of meat options and that's it! This visit was disappointing to say the least.
