The Inn at Lock Seven

For a cheap hotel, this is quite good. The downsides are that the beds are pretty hard and the decor could use an update (tiled walls?). The upsides are that it feels very safe - it is in a quiet neighbourhood and, although it is a motel style with separate exterior doors, to reach the exterior doors requires a key to access a locked staircase. The rooms themselves are clean and seem very well maintained. The view of the lock, while it could not be called beautiful, was neat. I did not realize massive barges pass through the locks and it was interesting to sit on the room’s private balcony with a coffee at sunrise to watch that happen. Best of all was the customer service though. I stayed here as a rest stop from hiking the Bruce Trail and the person who checked me in saw my gear and offered me mineral water, which was very thoughtful. I would stay here again and recommend it to others. Would be 5/5 if the bed was a bit softer.

We loved our stay! The proprietor was a lovely human and helped me with room assignment! We LOVED the boats! The room was so clean and incredibly comfortable. The beds were great and we slept so well. This is the best inn in Niagara and we will be back often!

If you like freighters, this place is Xanadu. If not, it's still a nice place to put your head down. The rooms are simple, but clean. The proprietor is super nice (and accommodating). And best of all, it is budget friendly.I just wish there were elevators to the upper floors (bad knees).

Amazing place! Great view of the lock. Easy to check the live view of ships if you search Welland Canal live map. I enjoyed this roomuch more than the other hotels on your trip.

Booked this place for a one-night family stay at the last minute due to limited availability elsewhere. Came with low expectations, and they were exceeded in most regards. It is very low key from the outside, but the property is well cared for, clean and comfortable rooms with nice balconies overlooking the locks on the canal. Had toiletries and some other convenience elements that are now hard to find even at major hotel chains. Was quiet, despite being actually treated to a view of a large ship passing through the locks. One thing to note is very firm mattresses - we did not have any problem with that, but some might. Overall, I think this hotel is a solid choice for the area.

The location by the locks is beyond amazing and it was very cool to see so many freighters coming in and out. If gongoozling is your thing then you've come to the right place!That being said the rooms could use a bit of an overhaul and there wasn't a lot of water pressure in my shower during my stay, but it definitely didn't kill the experience.

We have stayed there twice this season and love it. First time was to ride our bikes on the Welland Canals Trails. Second to ride the trail again and to golf. Excellent golf was nearby. Watching the ships in the canal is fascinating to watch. You won’t be disappointed.

Great location which allowed us to walk to our event. the Inn is quaint bit overall the facility needs some serious upgrades. overall the rooms were comfortable and clean and price was fair. We stayed at fancy Inns at Niagara on the lake in the past and their Inns needed upgrading also but still charged 3 x the price per night. Watching the ships move through the locks was an added bonus. We will definitely use this facility in future

Rooms were clean, but needs updating. Mattresses are hard! It is a nice location.

The location of the Inn on Lock 7 is unbeatable. We were able to sit inside at our table or outside on our balcony and have a perfect close up view of many ships. Although the building looks like an old motor lodge, it was updated inside and spotlessly clean. The room size was generous. There was a coffeemaker and fridge. No microwave. Like most motels, there are never enough plugs, but I know to always travel with a plug strip with 3 outlets and 2 USB ports. There was free wifi. Overall, I loved it and would highly recommend it.
