This property is all about the balcony overlooking Lock 7 on the Welland canal. The rooms are dated but clean although the furniture on the balcony was worn. A great unique location for a one night stay! We enjoyed watching the ships!

The room was basic but very clean with comfortable beds. There was a small fridge which was nice. The air conditioner was a bit noisy. The view from the small balcony out over Lock Seven was terrific, and the highlight of the stay. The desk staff were very nice and helpful and provided us with a good breakfast recommendation and coupon.

We really, really enjoyed our quick trip here immensely. The location is fabulous, the rooms are very large, and it had everything we needed. It’s tucked into such a cute little neighborhood as well and not far from NOTL. We definitely want to return!

The location is the major appeal of the property. Seeing the ships go by was SO COOL. The property is clean. The rooms are basic and not updated, but meet the standards for a clean and comfortable stay. I just wish there was a microwave.

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.

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!

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.
