Great all around place to stay.
Pros:

Staff was great. Loved the idea of regular breakfast that could be ordered in restaurant rather than typical buffet style breakfast. Dinner in restaurant was exceptional!

Pros:

Le petit déjeuner est servi au restaurant de l'établissement, bien que le déjeuner soit compris dans le coût du séjour, un menu est présenté à chaque convive, il y a un très beau choix et le service est fait aux tables. Vraiment relax. Un endroit très confortable. Le personnel est gentil, de bonne humeur et veut rendre service. Lors du repas du soir, j'ai malencontreusement renversé mon verre de bière, il était presque plein, on me l'a remplacé sans que je le demande. J,ai beaucoup apprécié cette délicatesse.

Best hotel in Thunder Bay.
Pros:

The Best Western Plus Nor'Wester Hotel is the ideal motel for an enjoyable vacation in Thunder Bay. The accommodation and amenities are great and the staff are terrific. The view of the Nor'Westers is pure Zen. Order the Pickerel for a hearty Northern meal.
