Beautiful property sitting right on Lake Ontario just out of the hustle and bustle of the town but a 5 minute walk away from all the stores and restaurants you will want to visit. Spotlessly clean, we had a large airy room (305) facing the harbour. The staff are wonderful. Everyone we encountered seemed happy to be there and at our service. Nice breakfast is included. Bed is firm and comfortable and there is a roomy separate shower and whirlpool tub. Great value for the money. I highly recommend it.

We were celebrating our 30 th wedding anniversary & I had called prior to our arrival twice to let them know & request a hat out vie room. Upon arrival we did not have harbour view and no detail even a happy anniversary. Upon my inquiry they offered to provide us a suite but it was on our last day & we were out visiting the area making us unavailable to move rooms & only our last night. So we stayed in our room Think they should have more attention to guest special occasions

What made this place stand out was the staff. Upon arrival, Emma greeted us and suggested wineries to visit and helped us book a shuttle for dinner. Ali, who was serving wine and cheese in the afternoon, was also our driver at dinner! He took the time to point out landmarks for us and was so pleasant.
