They say that you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, but the Superior Shores is a valiant attempt. For decades, this property was one of the worst hotels in Thunder Bay. BW has completely renovated it, and it is now a very good place to stay. I don't really think they could have done better, but the limitations of the old structure are apparent, resulting in some cramped spaces, and a bit of old and tired appearance peeking through the new decor.
Service was great, breakfast was mid, price was reasonable, and the location next to the waterfront is nice, but the neighbourhood is not great.
