Super 8 by Wyndham Thunder Bay

I had had a long day of driving with my two cats and was hoping to find a comfortable, clean, and quiet room at the Super 8. The gentleman at the desk was great but the room I had booked wasn’t so stellar. It was right beside the noisy air vent outside and the mattress wasn’t clean - looked like possible bug evidence and some stains. I went and asked for a new room and was given a room on the front of the hotel. Both rooms seemed dark due to the dark grey paint used and dim lighting - not super inviting. The new room seemed somewhat cleaner but I think they should put the complete zip around mattress protectors on their mattresses. ||What was most concerning was the creepy men hanging around the end of the hotel beside the donut shop - smoking pot, hanging out around the rooms and cars. Didn’t seem like a great neighbourhood but I didn’t know this when booking. I double locked both doors and put a chair against the outside door because it didn’t seem too secure, even with the dead bolt - seemed also to let a lot of air in. ||The room was also noisy as the walls were very thin and I could hear lots of other guests, some of whom were very loud. You could also hear all the traffic. It was not a restful night for my cats and I. Probably wouldn’t stay here again nor recommend to anyone. The breakfast also didn’t look too stellar so I passed on that and just got out of there.

Looks like hotel has been recently refurbished. Perhaps room was designed as a two bedded room, only a king bed, which was ok, but big empty space in room. Very clean and tidy. Could upgrade coffee machine, eg Keurig and also shower head ancient.Drive up room, parking right outside.||Limited number of pet rooms available. $20 fee,||We’ll stay again, very good experience.

It was noisy having a room on the first floor with a door to the parking lot. Beds were fairly comfortable. Bathroom was an acceptable level of clean. Their continental breakfast was missing a protein, such as eggs and sausage like the previous Super 8 we stayed at had in Barrie ON. Booking the day of we paid about $275. Could definitely be cheaper for what you get.

Booked this place going through Thunder Bay. Thunder Bay itself it’s a cute place, and so was this motel at first. ||||The front desk worker, whom I assume was working nights, was not overly welcoming. Just seemed monotone and didn’t make much conversation at all. ||||The front desk worker in the morning was total opposite-welcoming, cheerful while upholding a very polite demeanour!! Forget his name, but super kind! ||||Our room smelt like smoke, despite it being a smoke- free property. The motel lobby also smelt of smoke upon checking in and checking out. ||||Our room was great in terms of amenities, and size. The bed was super comfortable. However, the floors were very sticky, there was white stuff on the walls near the bottom. Being a housekeeper by trade, I have a very sharp eye for things like this, which made me want to see how more dirty this place actually was. I took a cloth with hot water and wiped down the walls, baseboards (that had the white stuff all over it), and then the whole floor of the motel room. It picked up so much filth (I have pictures and videos to prove).

Firat, the price is insane for here, i paid $180 and that was with a last minute deal. I am appaled that people are paying $300 for this. We got in very very late. The blinds do not shut on either window no matter what you do , so dont consider sleeping in past 7 without a sleep mask as others have said the same. Room was clean and as expected, but does show signs of wear. There was a very damp smell, but we were exhausted and did not bring it up with them as we just needed to crash for six hours. There is NO elevator for accessing the second floor with big bags. Breakfast is a good continental, only would have wished for powered eggs and some meat source. No Greek yougart, but has regular. Veey nice staff.

The front desk person was super friendly. Recommended the Java Hut restaurant in the same parking lot and it did not disappoint! Delicious food and homemade pie to take back to the room. Room was newly renovated with NO CARPET, beds were comfortable, room was clean. Would be nice if the parking was assigned as someone took the spot right in front of our door. Made it annoying to pack up in the morning. Breakfast was basic but I loved that they had hard boiled eggs. So much better then the powdered scrambled eggs most places have. Overall it was a great stay!

Room was fine for a two-star hotel. Looked renoed and bathroom was nice. Main room was very dark and the beds were uncomfortable. A/C sort of worked. TV required some figuring out on how to work properly. The biggest crime was the price. This place had the gall to charge $290 + tax for a night in arguably the worst city in Canada. But what can you do when there's nowhere else to sleep? If you are heading west, stop before Thunder Bay and drive the extra bit the next day.

One of the worst motels I have stayed at. They charge a whopping $345.00 for one night for a 2 star motel at most! The rooms on the first floor had front and back doors. There were people standing outside my door swearing and smoking and although this is no fault of the motel, it was not enjoyable. I asked the front clerk to switch to the second floor and he said all rooms were booked so I had no choice to stay where I was. I had to crank up the tv just to get some peace. I could not use the AC because the AC blew the curtains wide open and the people outside could clearly see inside, thus no privacy. I had no choice but to keep the AC off. The floor was also very sticky and do not think it was washed. I would not recommend this motel. I stayed at very nice motels for at least a hundred dollars cheaper and this one is considered a dump.

I booked through Expedia. My pet request didn't come through. The man at the desk refused to change my room. Could have been easily done. Ridiculous experience. Will never rebook.

from the reviews I have read on line about this hotel, where totally wrong. The check in was fast, they even put my frozen fish in a freezer for me( as i just came back from a great fishing trip). the room was very clean. The Continental breakfast was perfect. I was very happy with the service i received there. People have to understand that Super 8 Motel is not a 5 Star Hotel. Its a place to stay if you are on a budget. Thanks to the staff at Super 8 - Thunder Bay for the great stay

I gotta disagree with the assertion that this place is dangerous. The city of Thunder Bay is kinda gloomy, sure, but I didn't feel unsafe for a minute...and I walked the neighborhood at about 1 a.m. I think the other reviewer ran into some scumbags that just as well could have been hanging around any business in any city. The hotel itself? It's your standard budget hotel. The bed was comfortable enough. The room was clean. It was quiet enough to get some shut-eye. The bathroom door opens almost into the toilet. The place looks like it hasn't been remodeled since the '80s or '90s, like a lot of Thunder Bay. That being said, the room was more expensive than a lot of comparable hotels in the area, having since looked online.

The room has some 80's charm to it but it is neat and clean. Centrally located with first floor rooms that have outside entrances. Continental breakfast included but will have to reserve judgement on quality til the next morning. Maybe a little pricey for what you get coming in at 100 with tax but all in all pretty good value.

The worst motel I have in the trip.not recommend. Try small town motel closed to Thunder Bay .

stayed here last year and the room was awesome. I was on a cross canada trip and this was one of the motels i stayed at. We had cost considerations and for a two bedroom at approx 99 bucks it was great. Rooms were very well done and neat

My husband and I landed here late at night and had a hard time getting our big truck and trailer into the parking lot. We had to park in this sketchy back parking lot but there was a big light there and another couple had to park by us. The place was outdated but the beds were very comfortable and the room was clean and did its job. The breakfast was alright for a super 8 and the hotel was pet friendly which was what we needed. Overall not a bad stay.
