Lake-Vu Motel

8/10 Good
"Convenient location, fairly priced, gives you the basics needed for a home base to go back to after exploring Kenora & surrounding area (bed, shower, tv). Walls are quite thin, may not be able to count on sleeping in. Could hear kids laughing at 9am in another room loud enough to make it sound like they were in the same room. Or perhaps they were in the shared entrance area and it was a doorway sound proofing.issue, either way it was disruptive."

8/10 Good
"I had read a terrible review and I was worried I had made a mistake. However, in spite of the urban decay on the street, the renovated lobby and excellent staff member who checked me in made me feel better. The hotel is being renovated and the halls and stairs look like hell. But, the room was air conditioned and newly, beautifully renovated. So if you can look past the growing pains, the room was fantastic. All doors have key cards, so security was of no concern, and my car was safe in the locked underground parking."
