The room was a little dated, although clean.

The owner was friendly, welcoming and helpful. It was very interesting to watch the ships navigate the canal lock from our room.

Spacious rooms, loved sitting by the window, watching the boats.

Location at the Lock was great. Rooms are spacious.

Need to ignore the dark, rather dank stairwells and hallways. I suspect the plastic bucket outside each room was for smokers...not a good look, but happily, no one was standing outside their room smoking. Once you're in the room, it's just fine.

This is an interesting place...a bit of vintage tourism and a bit of Lawrence Seaway history. I stayed there in the fall after the flowers were gone, so the place looked tired, dated, and very humble. Very clean rooms. Very nice manger/owner (?). The stairwell and (open air) corridors are a bit depressing...chipped cement, plastic bucket sits outside each room (for cigarette butts, maybe?). They still use actual keys (not swipe card). What I found VERY cool was its location directly across from a lock on the historic Welland Canal. So periodically I could look out my window and see very large barges moving slowly through the locks as they made their way between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. The room was spotless, slightly spartan, one mattress was a bit firm, but I slept like a log. Bathroom is small but clean. This was totally satisfactory for what I needed...last minute, one night, safe, clean. Walking distance to a couple eateries (that were closed the night I was there), it's in a peaceful, mature neighborhood. Two minute walk to the very interesting Lock 7 Viewing Center.

The location, looking over Lock 7 in the Welland Canal. Also close to several good restaurants. Clean.

Bath towels are always too small. Blankets looked really old and well used. Carrying luggage up the stairs is a challenge but we survived.

Location is close to the person I was visiting so that was convenient and the price was fair. Honestly the price was why I chose this inn. Hotel rates are over priced. Just needed a place to sleep. The ships going through the locks are a bonus! Carpets looked nice and clean and bathroom looked modern and clean.

The beds are very hard.

The location is so cool...

The air conditioning didn't work so it was a little warmer than I like.

Really nice staff and view. The rooms were a little outdated. The air conditioning didn't work. That said it was a heck of a deal if you just need someplace to spend the night. Everything was clean and quiet.

Great location- loved the ships in the lock!

The blankets were very thin and not warm enough.

Spacious, clean and comfortable, well-located (about 20 minutes from Niagara Falls and Niagara on the Lake). The view of the canal lock is unusual and gives the opportunity to watch the boats as they go up and down the canal. Quiet area.

Nothing bad to say.... for the money this hotel is just fine. Great view over the lock.

The view of Lock 7 and watching the boats was so cool. Walkable to down town delicious restaurants.

Could use a microwave in room.

We enjoy old-school independent hotels and this one fits the bill. Older building but everything is neat, clean and well-kept. Larger than typical rooms, with balcony overlooking the Welland canal. Got to see a large ship pass through this am. Appreciate a place with real glasses and mugs. Beds were firm yet comfortable, with good pillows. Nice sunrise too!

We really enjoyed the location with our bird’s eye view of Lock 7 on the Welland Canal and the various large ships passing through. The staff were very pleasant as well.

Decor is a bit dated and door locking mechanism is a bit old-school.

The room was clean and bright, with a balcony that overlooked the lock. Room was quite spacious overall with two double beds, a table with two chairs, large closet and chest of drawers. Two more chairs on the balcony. Fridge, air conditioning and coffee machine all worked as expected. Really good hot water pressure for showers.

Quiet and very clean. Housekeeping staff accommodating and polite. Nice to view the ships coming in and having your own entrance. Nice to be away from the hustle of downtown.

Not much

I believe all rooms have a view of the Welland canal lock. Watching the Great Lake freighters traverse the lock less than 100m away from your window or balcony is fascinating.

Everything was just fine.

The location was very interesting and overlooks the lock.
