Top Lakehead University Hotel Reviews

Valhalla Hotel & Conference Centre

8/10 Good

"Very nice spacious room. Let me find out where your room is before you park because there's quite a walk if it's around the other side of the adjoining buildings."

"Property was clean and communication was fast and clear."

Charming 3-bedroom condo with WiFi and AC in lovely Thunder Bay

8/10 Good

"The condo itself had lots of space and was conveniently located. The hosts were responsive and super on top of answering questions and helping with checking in and out. My only reason for concern was that the listing mentioned there was A/C. That only existed in 1 room. The faucet was barely holding on in the kitchen. It was clearly a house that had been used for multiple housing units in the past, perhaps for college kids. I did appreciate the washer and dryer. That was great. But there were old clothes to the side of the washer and dryer that remained from previous visitors. So, all in all, main areas were clean. Stuff was secure. Folks were responsive. But just needs a bit of repair and freshening up."

Welcoming 5-bedroom home with spacious deck and yard!

10/10 Excellent

"Was a great place to host my whole family under one roof."
