It's small, family-run motel close to the University. It's not fancy, but it is clean, reliable and in a good location. The bathroom could use some hooks, and the toilet is a little small, but manageable. Someone has put a lot of effort into landscaping the grounds. If you are in need of a budget room, this place works.

What a welcoming and helpful staff at this small Inn. Comfortable and clean and accommodating for smokers with a chair outside your room and a butt can or ashtray. Airconditioning worked well, fridge and microwave in the room to. Close to a plaza and was close to our event. I would definitely go back.

Perfect place to just get your head down and explore. The staff were really friendly, the room was tidy, AC and heating in the room worked, and there was ample parking. Plenty of shops, gas stations, and food options nearby. Highly recommend for anyone visiting the Hamilton/Niagara area.

Disliked: Amenities
Alice is a bit crusty but once you get talking she is helpful and kind. I liked my room. A king bed. The place needs renovation. Everything is old and it really should have a 1 star rating. No coffee or tea. Just a microwave and mini fridge. My room was in the interior so I didn't get a chance to sit outside like some folks. They had chairs in front of their doors. Parking is great and well lit. The cleaning staff is nice!

THE GOOD - easy to get in & out of the room to your vehicle (motel style). - clean room - comfy bed & pillows COULD BE BETTER, BUT NOT TERRIBLE - obvious DIY projects to maintain the place - a bit dated - bath towels were smaller than most hotels THE BAD - no hand towels (only small face towels)
