Room were spacious and well kept, albeit quite dated. Views of the canal are very nice and location is close to walking paths and the nice strip of downtown Thorold. Staff were nice and helpful, but felt quite expensive for the quality and location.

The location of the Inn is fantastic. Its right at Lock 7 on the Welland Canal and from your balcony, its constant entertainment of various ships passing through the locks. The room was comfortable and clean. Short walk to restaurants and short drive to other interesting areas

Room was nicer than expected. There was an odd odor, but that did subside after a few hours. The bathroom could use an update - all the fixtures were very low. Location to lock 7 is great. We had the opportunity to watch several ships pass through. There’s not much within a walkable distance from the hotel, but it is pretty close to the Niagara Falls area and many of the wineries are within a 15 minute drive.
