We chose this place because of its fun-factor location on the canal -- we really didn't know what to expect for quality of accommodations, but were pleasantly surprised. It is a retro 50's-style motel where each room has its own entrance. Furnishings are in keeping with the era but our room was comfortable (table and chairs, deck furniture, TV, two... More

We stayed at this B&B in September and found it to be overpriced for the quality of the accommodations. The rooms looking out over the canal have a fantastic view of the shipping that passes through the lock on an hourly basis, so the interest factor is high. Travelling with an elderly parent, I was told our room would be... More

Every room looks out on Lock 7 of the Welland Canal so you can watch the ships 24/7. A light breakfast consisting of freshly-baked muffins, juice and coffee is available in the morning. We've visited here many times and expect to return many times.

We have stayed at the Inn at Lock Seven many times, as did my brother and his wife until his recent death. This past week we and his widow returned to watch the boats in the Wellend Canal - it is that kind of spot where memories gather. In two weeks we return with another couple to attend the plays...

We recently took our 2 boys (2&5) to The Inn at Lock 7 for some serious ship-searching. The staff is wonderful, the rooms are clean, and the views are great. At no time did we hear the neighbors on either side of us, and both rooms were occupied. The bathrooms have been updated with new vanities (gone are the bottle... More

We spent two nights at the Inn. The lock is directly across the road, so you sit on your balcony and watch the ships go through day and night. The inn is rather retro, but is as clean as it can be. We will definately return. Continental breakfast. Fridge in room if you want to take yogurt for breakfast or... More

A cute little 3 story hotel overlooking the ships going through the lock. It was really fascinating seeing all sorts of ships big & small going through all hours of the day. A really interesting view that you'll never get from any other hotel. Very glad we stayed here.

The reviews here are entirely consistent with our experience at the Inn at Lock Seven in mid-June, so I won't repeat. The place is like walking back into the 1960s, right down to the beer bottle openers fastened to the cabinets in the bathroom (Corona fans will appreciate that). It's a great little spot for ship-lovers, history buffs, Niagara Peninsula... More

We watched the freighters in the lock at all hours. Very fun. Room was clean, television new. Tiny complaint - for this price, should have included little shampoo bottles! However, very convenient to Niagara Falls too. Will definitely return.
