8/10 Very good

Nice quiet spot in a residential neighborhood, surrounded by older homes. Very peaceful. The locks were definitely a fascinating point of interest, ships going through. Sit on the balcony and enjoy the view. Inn itself not fancy but clean and comfortable.

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.

The location of the Inn is fantastic. Its right at Lock 7 on the Welland Canal and from your balcony, its constant entertainment of various ships passing through the locks. The room was comfortable and clean. Short walk to restaurants and short drive to other interesting areas

As close as you can get for a good view of the ships in he lock. Staff are super friendly, a check-in, changed our room to top floor (best for viewing) with a smile.

If you are looking for a Hampton Inn type stay this place is not for you. If you are looking for reasonable price in quiet neighborhood with chance to see barge cruise past your window… then give it a go.

Tired looking but clean

It was very quiet but the Inn is really a Motel. It was clean but very dated. Old furniture, bed was very hard. Exterior doors were old, the deadbolt did not work. Only lock was what is typically used for an interior door with a small chain lock. Staircase to enter motel had a lock but again did not feel very secure. Nice view of the canal.

Enjoyed our stay. Watching the boats was interesting. Would have liked more access to ice. Having to go to the office to get a small serving was inconvenient.

Recommend and would stay again

So neat staying on the canal—interesting to watch the ships lock through! The building was configured so that each balcony is pretty private. While the building itself is older, I found the room to be spotless and very comfortable. The staff was so nice, too! I would definitely stay here again.

8/10 Very good

It was a quint little 'drop in' spot for an overnight stay between St Catherines and Niagara Falls. the staff were very pleasant/personable on check in and check out. Did not hear any other guests. And seeing the freightliner ships going through the locks stepped it up.
Tammy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This lovely little Inn has been very well maintained inside and outside. Room was super clean with just the right amount of amenities..hair dryer and coffee maker and fridge. Balcony on 3rd floor was a real treat with numerous ships passing by. Thank you for making our anniversary stay special with a lovely bottle of wine. Very thoughtful and Pelee Island is so close to our home! Hope to visit again 👍

This hotel has old style rooms with doors on the outside of the building but it felt very safe. The room was large and very clean. The bathroom was modern and had a small heater. All the rooms had a balcony overlooking the lock. We saw big ships and a cruise ship go through the lock which was interesting (lucky to have great weather too). It was an easy 20 minute drive to Niagara on the Lake with the route passing many wineries! Would definitely stay here again.

Exactly what we expected. Old school and a living history. Thank you!

This property has an incredible view of lock 7 and the ships that go through. The accommodations are fancy but the staff are friendly and the rooms are clean and comfortable with balconies for sitting and quick access to the bike/park trail along the Welland Canal.
