Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room was spotless and smelled of clean sheets. The hotel itself was also very clean. Breakfast was good quality but could have more options. We will definitely stay here again!
I would recommend this hotel as a very affordable place to stay in Niagara on the Lake, easy walk to the main street and a couple of good eating options close by. Friendly staff, the room was as described and had nice crisp white sheets and a comfy bed, free continental breakfast was plentiful and the breakfast room was well set up and spotlessly clean. The hotel kindly let us park our car for the day in their carpark, while we were out wine tasting on the day we arrived.
Pros: quiet, nice workout space, clean, friendly staff, free parking
Cons: tv reception poor, no shuttle to Main St shopping/dining area....its a good mile walk, which we liked, but not everyone could do that and parking is expensive in town.
Property was excellent. Loved the location which was easy access to all our venues. It was spotless, quiet and had everything we needed. Loved the restaurant next door, very convenient.
