TownePlace Suites by Marriott Thunder Bay

very roomy. we could maneuver the room without running into each other. kitchenette was nice to have, especially eith grocery store so close by. breakfast was exceptional, as far as hotel breakfasts go, much better then other breakfasts ive experienced. weight room was nice, included free weights and a bench to utilize them with. much nicer then most hotel weight rooms. staff was friendly and approachable.

the pool was very small. deepest end only 4 feet with a rough bottom that scuffed up my big toe. hot tub was nicer but again, very small. posted capacity was 6, but I think 4 would comfortably be maxed in it.

Location excellent Marriot quality

Could use restaurant in hotel

Breakfast

All good

Food selection was good the fellow who was cleaning was attentive

I had let the booking people know we a were arriving early I know you have times but the only answer from lady when we came at about 130 was we would have to wait because checkout was Noon. Now I have been doing this for a long time to the entire hotel does not wait until Noon to checkout. She made NO effort to help othe3r than sending us to the breakroom to wait. Another person with orange hair took over the front desk r5esposibilties at about 3 pm so around 330 I approached him, and he said there is nothing ready but if we changed our room request, he could accommodate us. Simple fix but it required a small bit of initiative on the part of the desk clerk
