켄리시아 호텔

The hotel was under renovation when I arrived. But walked up to the room and discovered a beautiful view and clean room. However the elevator was not working so I had to walk up 2 floors. The place was a gem.

As others have mentioned the hotel is under renovation. The rooms are completely redone and up to date. If you have problem with stairs this is not the place for you as the elevator is not in service. The garage is secure, if a little unconventional. Manual operation of the door. I would stay there again.

Hotel under renovation so no elevator to third floor. 84 year old husband had to drag cases up 37 steps. A little cheaper than other available lodging but comes with some drawbacks. Room was clean and well appointed but air conditioner loud.

Building was in terrible condition. Windows broken. Plywood over missing windows. Elevator was broken. I would not put my dog up in this hotel Please take this location off your viewing

They are currently undergoing renovation i hope they finish and restore the hotel to the best possible shape.

The hotel was locked when we arrived, with a phone number on the front door to call if we wanted access. It took less than a minute once we called. Elevator was not working. We were supposed to have a room on the 3rd floor, the man at the desk told us we could cancel without penalty, but we kept the reservation when offered to have a room on the 2nd floor and after seeing the room. Room was very old but clean, beds were comfortable. Portable air conditioning was efficient. We could hear the people above us moving stuff around for a while once we got in bed, but the night was quiet. Hotel has a private parking with non automated door, but we did not use it as we had a spot on the side with no parking fees on Sunday. All that being said, I would probably book here again since the price is so low compared with other hotels in Kenora. When the renovations are done, this could be a nice place.

Very dirty, unsafe clientele, will not stay again

Wasn’t open, had fake number on door to “call staff”

Old building that needs renovation. Bad smell in the room. Bed was ok

The room was clean and comfortable. Staff was very personable. The parking was secure, indoors and free. The entire hotel is under renovation but our stay was very acceptable for us knowing ahead of time it was a work in progress.

Cost too much for that level of cleanliness, $50/night buyer beware.

It’s so smelly drug addicts are running the place no proper facilities. No proper parking. Room and the whole hotel was smelling and under construction. They never mentioned this on the website. Pictures are not real.

To be fair it is under renovations. The room we stayed in was CLEAN and nice however there was no hot water at night and no cold water in the morning and no air conditioning. Also there is no bolt on the door (which is alarming for solo female travellers) it was also very apparent that on the event of a fire everyone was going to die. No windows to open and no easy stair accesss.

No hot water in the shower. No window that can open in the bedroom ( heat accumulates ) Fridge making a very loud intermittent high pitch noise ( had to disconnect it ) TV was not set up, I had to look at cables the wall and the system to make it work. The metal plate in the front door was not screwed in, I had to screw them myself for the door to function had intended. They are renovating, but they should not rent a room like this. They should give a partial refund, it does not deserve to be charged full price. On the positive end, the guy at the front desk was very nice and helpful, the room itself was clean and the sheets were clean, the room itself has been renovated so it’s nice and modern.

The staff was helpful and transparent with the status of the hotel. Expedia shouldn’t list this hotel until it is fully renovated

Well the building was under construction the toilet seat had poo all over, windows were not cleaned and broken and the tables were dusty

The hotel is under renovation at this moment so lift is closed and need to climb up with your luggage. Room is okay, clean but soundproof is poor.

As of May 2026 the hotel is undergoing renovations. Serious renovations. The room was finished and clean with excellent work showing, but the elevator is nonfunctional and the floors have to be reached on stairs stripped of flooring, carpets, and even paint. If you have difficulty climbing 48 stairs to reach the rooms on the second floor, you may want to spend your stay in Kenora at a different Hotel. If you are interested in comfortable rooms, reasonable rates, excellent facilities within the room, with a fine restaurant, and are not put off by a hefty dose of exercise, then please be aware that the Kenricia Hotel is a wonderful spot for a good night's rest.

I stayed at this hotel for two nights, and during that entire period I was only able to take one proper shower because there was no hot water available. My wife was on her menstrual period at the time, which made the situation even more uncomfortable. Spending almost three days without access to a proper hot shower is simply unacceptable and far below the minimum standard expected from a hotel stay. When we first reported the issue after check-in, we were told that too many guests were using the hot water system at the same time and that the system could not handle the demand. We were advised to “try again later.” I continued trying every 30 minutes until nearly midnight, and the water was still cold. In addition, the property appears to be under renovation, although this was never clearly communicated beforehand. The common areas are in poor condition and create an uncomfortable and somewhat unsafe atmosphere. Even the hallways appear damaged and unsettling. To be fair, the rooms themselves are renovated, clean, and look modern inside. However, the lack of basic amenities such as reliable hot water, combined with the overall condition of the property, significantly affected our experience and made the stay very disappointing.
