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.
