Always a great motel to spend some quiet time watching to ships transit the Welland Canal. The staff is wonderful, the rooms clean. We enjoy coming here every year.

The room is basic but spotlessly clean. Hallway was clean but worn-looking - needs updating. The big draw to this hotel for me is the balcony overlooking the Welland Canal, where lake freighters come and go!
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The room was clean and smelled clean. The staff was friendly, available and attentive. The balcony was amazing and we had a clear view of the lock. The rooms have air conditioning and kept it very nice. The tv and refrigerator worked perfectly. The beds were comfortable. This is our second time staying there. We will be back next year.

Always a great place to take in the fabulous view on the Welland Canal. Watching the ships passing between Erie and Ontario is most relaxing!

The place is old and dated. Outside and hallways shabby. Room was very clean and large. Beds were comfortable. Balcony directly in front of lock 7. That was interesting.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Owners and staff are so friendly and helpful. The rooms are spotlessly clean and it felt like a brand new mattress. It is a dated property with cinderblock walls, an old bathroom, and windows that didn’t work well. But I would still stay here again when I’m in the area because it’s so neat to be able to watch the ships on the canal from your balcony or even your bed!
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

We planned on attending two shows at the Shaw Festival plus a day of hiking on the Bruce Trail. The location was perfect for both activities- a 25 minute drive to Niagara on the Lake and 15 minutes to the trail head. Also , the inn is four blocks from the old downtown. Check out the Early Bird for breakfast and Donnelly’s for dinner. The Inn’s rooms are basic, but big, bright and super clean with fresh paint and new carpeting. The view of the canal from our balcony was great. We spent quite awhile watching the ships traverse the canal.

Absolutely enjoyed our stay! The view of the locks was incredible, and watching ships pass through was such a unique experience - could view right from your own balcony. The inn is older but clean, comfortable, and fairly priced. Friendly staff made check-in easy and welcoming.

Hotel is clean and rooms have a wonderful view of the canal and ships/lakers going through the locks. The hotel is older but very clean and reasonable rate for the area.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Nice older place, and the location is great, you can see the ships going through the locks from your balcony, the small downtown area is only a few blocks away, and it's in a quiet residential area. The rooms have ample space as well. One drawback for us was no microwave in the room. Apparently "microwave available on request" means you can take your food to the front desk and have them heat it up for you, not that they have some microwaves available to used in your room (like, say, a crib). AC unit was a little oddly placed (in the entry way, higher than the door) so some of the airflow was blocked. But there was a remote for the AC, and it did work.
