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.

This property was unique in that you were able to watch large lake ships transit the Welland Canal Lock 7. On this visit were saw many and we were surprised at how quiet this was. Property was clean, comfortable but could benefit from having a hair dryer in the room. All in all I will return to this property again.

Great view. Great staff. Basic accommodation
Ok this place is amazing in its location and view of the locks. We rented bicycles (not from the hotel but we had them delivered to the hotel.) and rode for one of the days we were here. Want to see freighters and sailboats and Viking Cruise ships gi straight by your hotel room wind ? This is am the place to stay. Family run business. Very basic accommodations. No microwave. But a mini fridge. The A/C (a window unit mounted by the door actually) was running continuously and some might find that annoying and loud. But we appreciated the white noise. And we could have turned it off I suppose. For the money and the view and the staff and realizing that it isn’t the Ritz it was a fantastic place. Would stay there again !!

We had a great room on the 3rd floor overlooking Lock #7. We watched 2 large ships pass through the lock. Our room had a balcony with a table and 2 chairs. The room was clean and spacious. We would stay there again for sure.
