You stay there to watch the lake freighters going through lock seven. The hotel is basic, no hair dryer but the location is in an old well established neighbourhood. A ten minute walk past the Anglican church to a wonderful Pho 18 Vietnamese restaurant. It is cozy and welcoming. The food is excellent. Go to The Early Bird restaurant for breakfast. Our grandsons said the food was better than Cora’s and the servings were huge! We arrived at 9:39 am and by 10:00 the place was packed with regulars.

4/10 Fair

Not normally a negative ninny but this property left a lot to be desired. Beds felt like you were sleeping on granite slabs. Our stay was four nights and other than having our beds made and new towels delivered not much was done, our room was never cleaned the entire time.

This was our second time staying at the Inn. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. The best part is watching the ships in the lock right from our balcony.

The view from my balcony was fantastic, and I did get to see a ship "locking through." The property is a little bit dated (the bathroom is very cramped), but it is very clean and well maintained. The staff were welcoming and very helpful.

Such a fabulous treasure of an Inn. Your own little balcony to watch the big ships transfer down Lock 7. Please tho- the wifi needs to be looked at. From midnight til my checkout in the morning- no wifi.
