As with other properties in the chain, the Best Western in Niagara on the Lake offers excellent value. Our room was spotless and comfortable - starting with the beds and pillows. We enjoyed the breakfast and dining area. And the staff were eager to provide advice and help in any way they could.

The convenience of being "just far enough" away from the hustle and bustle of the main street in Niagara on the Lake was perfect. Walking distance to everything, free parking, lovely breakfast included(the staff were terrific in the breakfast room) Windows that open for fresh air and comfortable decks/patios to relax outside of the room.

Well located, helpful staff, good breakfast. The property is older and maybe a bit tired but overall clean and it met our needs. TV reception a bit fuzzy but otherwise everything worked well.

Newly renovated rooms in a wonderful convenient area. Feels very residential / small business mix. Smaller rooms but efficient layout and a wonderful location with easy delicious restaurants within 3 minutes of walking. Parking was wonderful and there is a pedal bike rental station out front. The bathroom is small but one of the cleanest & brightest I’ve ever seen. Great renovations here.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast attendant was excellent and always made sure that the coffee was replenished and tables were cleaned promptly. The breakfast menu was identical both weekend days; a little variety would have been nice. The facility seemed tired and there was evidence of wear on the walls where furniture had scraped against them. Our room was clean and well stocked but the televisions were not working properly. On both of them the picture was very pixelated. We called the front desk for assistance but we were told that it was likely a problem with the cable and that no one would be able to fix it over the weekend. This seemed like a lazy response. They could have at least tried to get it repaired. Most cable companies have 24/7 repair service and a customer like a hotel should ensure that they have a reliable provider that is able to help at all times. They could have offered us a different room as we were told that no one else was reporting this problem. They offered us a small discount on the nightly rate. We suspect that the problem was a faulty splitter given that there were 2 TV’s in the room. We have stayed at this place before and enjoyed it.
