This lovely little Inn has been very well maintained inside and outside. Room was super clean with just the right amount of amenities..hair dryer and coffee maker and fridge. Balcony on 3rd floor was a real treat with numerous ships passing by. Thank you for making our anniversary stay special with a lovely bottle of wine. Very thoughtful and Pelee Island is so close to our home! Hope to visit again 👍

It was a quint little 'drop in' spot for an overnight stay between St Catherines and Niagara Falls. the staff were very pleasant/personable on check in and check out. Did not hear any other guests. And seeing the freightliner ships going through the locks stepped it up.

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.
