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

Liked: Cleanliness
Place served its purpose for a 1 night stay. Enjoyed the private balcony which overlooked the canal. Was very neat to see the ships come in. Room was clean but very dated. Fine by me but would have liked to use the tub for a bath, which I didn’t end up doing due to the condition of the tub. Ac worked very well in the heatwave and room was very quiet. Would go back again if in the area.

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.
