It’s a really beautiful hotel with flowers at the entrance. I would say , all meets our expectations. The room is big , clean and very organized. It’s a walking distance to the downtown. The staff at the reception is very helpful when I asked her help with the restaurant info in the town. Having Breakfast at the balcony is a great experience.

The convenience of being "just far enough" away from the hustle and bustle of the main street in Niagara on the Lake was perfect. Walking distance to everything, free parking, lovely breakfast included(the staff were terrific in the breakfast room) Windows that open for fresh air and comfortable decks/patios to relax outside of the room.

As with other properties in the chain, the Best Western in Niagara on the Lake offers excellent value. Our room was spotless and comfortable - starting with the beds and pillows. We enjoyed the breakfast and dining area. And the staff were eager to provide advice and help in any way they could.
