This property has an incredible view of lock 7 and the ships that go through. The accommodations are fancy but the staff are friendly and the rooms are clean and comfortable with balconies for sitting and quick access to the bike/park trail along the Welland Canal.

You stay there to watch the lake freighters going through lock seven. The hotel is basic, no hair dryer but the location is in an old well established neighbourhood. A ten minute walk past the Anglican church to a wonderful Pho 18 Vietnamese restaurant. It is cozy and welcoming. The food is excellent. Go to The Early Bird restaurant for breakfast. Our grandsons said the food was better than Cora’s and the servings were huge! We arrived at 9:39 am and by 10:00 the place was packed with regulars.

Not normally a negative ninny but this property left a lot to be desired. Beds felt like you were sleeping on granite slabs. Our stay was four nights and other than having our beds made and new towels delivered not much was done, our room was never cleaned the entire time.
