I stayed for one night. I was impressed and would stay here again.
The hotel is undergoing renovations so when I entered the main lobby it was very noisy. I thought uh oh. However, there was no issues and I did not hear any noise in my room. The renovations will make the lobby much more attractive and modern.
Checkin was very quick and the girl was very helpful. She gave her name at the end of check-in and said to call her if she could help in any way. Nice.
Location: perfect for me. I had an afternoon free and was able to walk across the street into Costco and Fairview Mall. Very handy.
Breakfast was a full breakfast and was very well done. They had fresh fruit, hot oatmeal, meusli, cold cereal, coffee tea, muffins, eggs, pancakes, ham, sausage, beans, home fries. Really something for everyone. The hostess was very friendly and constantly topping up the breakfast items, keeping it all hot and tidying up. Very well done.
They have quite a large gym for a hotel. I used the treadmill and it worked great.
Internet was good.
I would stay here again and would recommend

I cannot speak highly enough about Richard on the front desk. I had been looking for a hotel for a few days calling round numerous hotels because I was bringing a dog. Richard was so helpful and didn’t make me feel like a leper for bringing my dog. He explained the fees in detail, told me how much the dog was and the total including taxes. He told me about the special offer of buy one night and get one free and instead of just booking the one night we stayed the two nights something we had not planned to do. The room was clean and very comfortable, it was great that it had patio doors that led out onto a grass area which was perfect for the dog. The restaurant was closed for renovations but we still had a nice breakfast yogurt, breakfast sandwich, apple, coffee & juices which we collected from the front desk again from Richard who enquired after my dog. Richard is a dying breed he was so helpful and friendly. Big thank you! We will be back

We were disappointed that upon check in, we were not informed of your new policy concerning room service which states that one has to request room service if the stay is for multiple nights. Also, we feel that the $ 30.00 pet fee per night is excessive, especially as there was no room service during our stay. On the positive side, upon arrival the room was clean as were the common areas of the hotel, the beds were comfortable and the breakfasts were adequate.
We trust that you will address these issues before our next visit.

My wife wrote the last review, I thought I would add this, yes there are four rooms in the hotel that are above the pool and hot tub which are indoor so you’re getting the air straight from the pool and hot tub room for your air-conditioning whether the air-conditioning is running or it is just venting air. The humidity was probably 100%. Plus the air conditioner would not go any cooler and 68°, our second room went to 60°. I do realize in this time of Covid having a full allotment of employees is almost impossible. So I won’t complain about some of the other things. We are not complainers and usually can deal with things many others experience in hotels like bringing here plugs etc. If you don’t believe me about the humidity just ask the girls that clean the rooms, they were very good at giving us extra towels when I was talking to them in the hallway and I did mention the humidity in the room they agreed. Also I’ve never seen a hotel with a joining rooms that you could look under the door. I did notice someone else in the reviews comment on this also. Should be changed.
I have included the pictures of the air-conditioning vents after I cleaned them and before.

We stayed for two nights. The staff was amazing. Incredibly helpful and courteous, they went out of their way to make us feel safe and welcome. We had a small issue with one of our taps in the bathroom and the maintenance person was there within minutes to fix it quickly and efficiently. The hotel was unable to serve their traditional breakfast buffet because of Covid but they provided an excellent packed breakfast each morning instead. The rooms were clean and comfortable. It was a great stay!

Hotel was great, allowed bikes in the room. Despite location on map was conveniently located to cycling routes around Niagara, especially Welland Canal Parkway. Highly recommended if you're looking for a bike friendly hotel.

Excellent service & facility! Stayed 3 nights for a weekend hockey tournament, and although it was noisy at times (lots of kids around), the stay was wonderful. Pool facilities were clean and well attended. In house restaurant (Wrigley's) wait staff was extremely accommodating and helpful (as we had dietary needs for Celiac). Team dinner was also tended to with excellence!! Would highly recommend this place to anybody!

Pleasantly surprised!
We took a risk by using Priceline and it said we would get one of 3 hotels for a certain deal. This was the one they selected for us and we seen mixed reviews so we were a little nervous.
To my surprise, the hotel was very clean, accommodating and a great deal!
Although the prices are pretty high right now (I’m guessing due to things finally being back open) this was one of the cheapest hotels near Niagara) There are 2 pools (1 inside, 1 outside, a sauna, hottub and a gym that has a pelaton bike!! They also have mini putt!
Our room was very clean, had a patio, only thing was the bathroom was very small! (Enough room to walk in then squeeze the door shut behind you.
The front counter was really nice and accommodating.
Parking is free unlike Niagara Falls
And there is no tourism tax!
A bonus 😁
