We liked the security of the premise, having the rooms separated from the outside with a locked door. The room was homely. The view to watch the lock was amazing. The hotel receptionist was very efficient and friendly throughout check-in and check-out.

“Convenient But Needs An Upgrade”
We like the location as it's right beside the Welland Canal and you get to watch big freighters and other boats go in and out of the lock which is right in front of this Inn. It's also in Thorold where we were visiting family so it was convenient.

“Nice place to stay with easy access to Niagara on the Lake”
We didn't have breakfast there. I wasn't aware that it was available. We went into Thorold, though there was not much open on a Sunday morning. There is a good Tim Hortons, though. The place was quiet, in a nice neighbourhood, and the room was easily accessible for all of us, like a motel. Good for people needing walkers. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Lots of parking. Picnic tables were provided outside the rooms for viewing the ships going through the lock.
