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.

Property is dated and pretty sure run by Indians now since 2 were working from desk when checked in. I would not stay here on a hot day since they don't leave AC running and AC units are small and in entry way so don't blow out into area where beds are. AC unit was also full of mold inside so if you have allergy's stay somewhere else. Beds are rock hard. Great view of locks. Only had 1 boat come through night we were there. Takes quite a while for 1 to get through all of the locks together.

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.

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

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 👍

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.

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.
