Overview

This hotel is within a reasonable driving distance to a number of tourist attractions (Niagara Falls and Marineland are both just over a 20-minute drive away). This hotel may appeal to tourists who have access to a vehicle and who prefer to stay slightly outside of the busy tourist areas.

All of the 107 rooms at this non-smoking hotel come equipped with free Wi-Fi, a coffeemaker, a hair dryer and an iron and ironing board. Standard rooms are furnished with king or queen beds. Suites offer king or queen beds, a two-person jetted tub and a sofabed. Some have efficiency kitchens (mini-fridge, microwave). Pets are allowed for $30 per night.

There is no on-site restaurant, but there are a selection of restaurants within a 5-minute drive and guests will find the Green Acres Family Restaurant only a 2-minute walk from the hotel. On-site amenities include free parking, an indoor pool, a games room and a gym.

The Sunset Cove Golf Centre is nearby (less than a 5-minute drive). Less than a 10-minute drive from this hotel is the Fort Erie Slots and Race Track. The shores of Lake Erie and beach access are also less than a 10-minute drive away. (All distances and travel time estimates: Google Maps)

Confirmed with a front desk agent: Wi-Fi and parking (call date: December 14, 2012).
