Stayed there a couple of times for work and Kenora always gave me some weird vibes. The downtown is nice enough with solid bones and some interesting places to go out (one of the nicer ones in Northern ON for sure), plus the scenery is gorgeous. Some of the most glaring inequality I've seen in my travels throughout the province though. Walking from the round waterfront hotel to the LCBO felt a bit like Moss Park in parts with a very visible down and out population. Having patio drinks I also saw both OPP and local Reserve Police accosting people on the streets (not tourists, obviously). This was near the end of summer when tourism season would have been winding down, and during the week so fewer weekenders. I can only imagine it's kinda dead during winter.
Better than Dryden though!
