Ontario Northland Fort Frances Thunder Bay recent customer reviews
The wifi connection was too weak to maintain a connection, and when connected bandwidth was too too low to access more than texts. Also, air conditioning on the bus was broken and it was 35 degrees on the bus … way too hot to be comfortable.
