We were from the area and moved to Welland. We had business to look after and this was the most convenient place to stay. We would book again. Pleasant staff they couldn't have done more for us.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Inn. The staff were very friendly, the place is well maintained, and the room well appointed. I found the bathroom quite small which would be my only complaint. The complimentary breakfast worked well for us, simple but fresh. The price is quite reasonable and the restaurants nearby were quite good. Sweet little waterfront town.

The good - the room was in good condition and spacious and it was nice that parking was included. Also appreciated the fridge and microwave in the room.
The not so good - the heating unit made the air extremely dry. It was also disappointing that there was no body lotion or hair conditioner given the price of the stay. There was also no dairy milk alternative like almond milk at breakfast making it not very vegan friendly.

I don't often describe a hotel as "cozy", but this one was. You walk into the lobby and there are comfortable couches and chairs, a nice gas fireplace, chess board and book case with a library of books you can borrow. They had a nice cold breakfast with plenty of everything and the room was clean and comfortable.

It looks cute but bathroom and cleaning protocols are very dated. Staff are lovely and almost make up for the lack of sound proofing.

Would stay there again.
The lady that checked us in was very nice and very welcoming! Our room was lovely. The bathroom provided several towels which we appreciated. Lotion and conditioner was provided however no shampoo (likely a mistake). The room was not refreshed on the second day. The breakfast was well stocked with cereals, muffins, breads for toasting, fresh fruits, yogurt and good coffee.
We would stay there again.
