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).

The Bad
The majority of the reviews used for this analysis were favourable and guest complaints were scarce. The one complaint that surfaced commonly was in regards to the hotel's location.

A number of guests felt that the hotel was isolated. Guests without access to a car found it particularly out of the way. 

A handful of guests were inconvenienced by the lack of a mini-fridge in their room.

A few guests said that the TVs were old and should be replaced with newer models.
