Absolutely enjoyed our stay! The view of the locks was incredible, and watching ships pass through was such a unique experience - could view right from your own balcony. The inn is older but clean, comfortable, and fairly priced. Friendly staff made check-in easy and welcoming.

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.
