This was our second time staying at the Inn. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. The best part is watching the ships in the lock right from our balcony.

The view from my balcony was fantastic, and I did get to see a ship "locking through." The property is a little bit dated (the bathroom is very cramped), but it is very clean and well maintained. The staff were welcoming and very helpful.

Such a fabulous treasure of an Inn. Your own little balcony to watch the big ships transfer down Lock 7. Please tho- the wifi needs to be looked at. From midnight til my checkout in the morning- no wifi.

I have never stayed here before and found the Inn very clean and the staff is friendly. The grounds are kept well and it’s a very quiet and peaceful area. There are places close by for food and coffee and stores. I really enjoyed this Inn. There is history at this Inn which makes it interesting.

4/10 Fair

We booked 2 rooms. I shortened one room reservation by 1 day. This triggered unnecessary complaints from the owner. Unfortunately room 9 had live ants and in room 14 I found a dead ant in the bed. In one of the bathrooms (room 9) there was hair on the wall and in the other bathroom room 14 the bathtub was not draining. Towels were not clean in room 14. The last night of the stay we got locked out of the room after 9 pm. We could not reach anyone at the property by phone and there was nobody at property to let us in. That night we had to book and pay a room at FourPoints hotel in Thorold. We came back next morning to gather our belongings . This was not a pleasant experience at all.

This is a basic inn right on the canal with nothing much else around it. If you read the hotel description, you would know this. It’s ideal for a 1 night stay very close to Niagara-on-the-Lake It’s nothing fancy but importantly it’s clean and the front desk staff very helpful…for those of us who can’t figure out the air conditioning. Only cons is not having anywhere to grab a bite within walking distance and the noisy air conditioning. For a one night stay, I would definitely book again.
