The ONLY thing I would have liked to change is if there were allowance to smoke on the back patio overlooking the Lock. It is a part of my morning routine to have a cigarette in the morning when I wake up as I get ready for the day. I also battle with insomnia and often having a cigarette calms me to sleep. I do not like that I had to step out over to the street-side to smoke. I understand the rule of not smoking within the unit, but do not understand why it is prohibited to do outside on the back patio. But aside from that nitpick, this was a pleasant experience and I look forward to returning in the future. I have already begun recommending the Inn At Lock Seven to my friends.

(There was no breakfast, but none was advertised so we didn't expect it. We DID have a wonderful breakfast at the Good Eats Diner, and would recommend it to future guests!!) We have been to the Inn at Lock Seven three times previously, and LOVE this location!! It is such a delight to watch the ships passing through the Lock - so interesting, and we never get tired of it! We hope we'll have a chance to return in the future! Thank you so much for everything!

The only thing that could have been better is that the Inn could really use an upgrade in the bathroom facilities! The fan is SO NOISY, and comes on every time the light is turned on. (We wish we had remembered to bring a night light, but one should really be provided in every bathroom.) We also had trouble with the toilet flush mechanism, and had to reach in several times to correct the "flapper" to make the toilet stop "running" after it failed to correct itself. Otherwise, everything was fine!

We didn't have breakfast there. I wasn't aware that it was available. We went into Thorold, though there was not much open on a Sunday morning. There is a good Tim Hortons, though. The place was quiet, in a nice neighbourhood, and the room was easily accessible for all of us, like a motel. Good for people needing walkers. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Lots of parking. Picnic tables were provided outside the rooms for viewing the ships going through the lock.

Everything was fine.

The rooms at the Inn at Lock Seven are newly painted and renovated. They are quite spacious, well appointed and clean. The air conditioner works well and the shower has good pressure. The view of the lock and the passing ships was also fun to watch for our son. The balcony is large and there is a nice breeze in the morning and afternoons. There is adequate space for parking at the Inn. We drove down with our own vehicle and you can easily find everything you need within 5-10 mins drive: groceries, coffee shops, restaurants, etc. Niagara on the Lake and Niagara Falls are only a 15-20 min drive away.

The mattress was a bit firm and the blanket not as comfortable as you would find in a hotel chain. I would have preferred a more comfortable comforter or duvet. The air conditioner is loud when set to high, but much quieter on energy-saver. The bathroom fan is connected to the bathroom lights, so you cannot turn the lights on without the fan also being on. However, it was fair value for the price we paid. And the room was clean.

The property was clean and the view of the ships coming up the canal was incredible from the balcony. The staff were very accommodating. Close to most things

The air conditioner was not the strongest. With the very high temperatures outside. It was a little warm in the room. The front staff was very accommodating and gave me a fan which helped! I wish there was a microwave to heat up my food

Just beautiful. Lovely sunrise yesterday morning. Every time we stay we see a type of ship we’d not seen before , so an educational experience as well. The location is central for a quick trip to anywhere in the Niagara region. Staff is always friendly and helpful.

Nothing to dislike really. We stay here whenever we come to visit the area.

We love this place - it is ideal for a quiet getaway, we come every year - twice,this year.The location is great - right on the Canal,and you can watch the shipping from your room, coming & going from all sorts of destinations - and the best part is that it is so blissfully quiet & peaceful.The owner is thoughtful and caring,a real gem.We will come here every year as long as we are able.I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Nothing.

This is an interesting place...a bit of vintage tourism and a bit of Lawrence Seaway history. I stayed there in the fall after the flowers were gone, so the place looked tired, dated, and very humble. Very clean rooms. Very nice manger/owner (?). The stairwell and (open air) corridors are a bit depressing...chipped cement, plastic bucket sits outside each room (for cigarette butts, maybe?). They still use actual keys (not swipe card). What I found VERY cool was its location directly across from a lock on the historic Welland Canal. So periodically I could look out my window and see very large barges moving slowly through the locks as they made their way between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. The room was spotless, slightly spartan, one mattress was a bit firm, but I slept like a log. Bathroom is small but clean. This was totally satisfactory for what I needed...last minute, one night, safe, clean. Walking distance to a couple eateries (that were closed the night I was there), it's in a peaceful, mature neighborhood. Two minute walk to the very interesting Lock 7 Viewing Center.

Need to ignore the dark, rather dank stairwells and hallways. I suspect the plastic bucket outside each room was for smokers...not a good look, but happily, no one was standing outside their room smoking. Once you're in the room, it's just fine.

We had a great stay here. We really enjoyed sitting on the balcony and watching the huge ships passing through the lock. We sat out with a bottle of wine and looked up each one on the internet as they passed by. The host in the office was very friendly and the room was clean and comfortable. We will come back next year for sure when we are in the area for winery visits.

We were pleased with everything.

It’s a cool location as it is in front of Lock 7. We saw four large ships go through. It is a fascinating process. Excellent view from our balcony. Very lovely owner and staff. Very clean. Economical.
