What guests think

At Holiday Inn Express Niagara-On-The-Lake by IHG, travelers consistently highlight very clean, spacious rooms and friendly, efficient staff, with a convenient, quiet location near the outlet mall and an easy drive to Niagara-on-the-Lake and Niagara Falls.

Breakfast is widely praised for variety and quality, though multiple reviews note crowding, slow replenishment at peak times, and the use of disposable tableware and limited lobby coffee. Rooms are modern and well equipped, but recurring remarks mention barn-style bathroom doors that reduce privacy, occasional noisy HVAC or drainage issues, and some showers that are hard to operate. Free parking, a small gym and indoor pool are appreciated, while the pool can feel chilly or need better upkeep, and on-site dining is not available, so most guests drive for meals. Expect a clean, comfortable, car-friendly stay.

We had a very nice experience, for the most part. We've stayed here before because of the great location and proximity to the mall and easy access to get to wineries. We also enjoy the pool as it's long enough for swimming laps. However, one small issue... We asked for a couple of wine glasses for the room and were told a flat out "NO". It was rather unapologetic...just a straight NO, from the woman at the front desk. So we had to set out to try and buy some. It didn't seem like an unreasonable request and we were surprised at this. One other thing... Found long hairs in our shower, before we had even used it .... certainly not from us..and not pleased to see that. Otherwise a decent hotel that does the job.

Nice hotel in good location, typical Holiday Inn. The only two things that let it down for me were a) breakfast room (too small, overcrowded and not restocked quickly enough) and b) pool cleanliness (dirty floors, mould on tiles etc).

Unfortunately, we had a very bad experience during our one-night stay at this hotel. The rooms were extremely dirty, and the bathroom was in terrible condition. The breakfast was almost non-existent and of very poor quality. Honestly, this was the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. I truly feel like I wasted my money. We were traveling with another family who had a 6-year-old child, and they were also very unhappy. I do not recommend this hotel at all.

We had an accessible room but the shower was very difficult to operate. The shower curtain blew away from the tub when trying to hold onto the hand shower. Thus, the floor got full of water. The water also took a very long time to heat. The room, bed etc were fine and there was lots of space to move around.

Our room was clean. The TV did not work. The plug in the bathroom sink was plugged. The air conditioner was very noisy. We turned it off. I could hear the unit in the next room. The frig was very noisy. We should have unplugged it. We did tell the desk but they did not seem interested in repairing these things for the next person.

We had an uneventful stay except when we were checking out. My son and I left our room to take our luggage to our car a few minutes before 11am. My wife remained in our room. When I returned to get my wife a few minutes after 11 am, she said that she has fallen and cannot get up. To my dismay I found that my key card did not work. Luckily we found a cleaning stuff who opened the door for me. My son and I were able to help her on to her feet . She wan not badly injured. The act of canceling the key card before we confirmed that we are checking out could have ended very badly for us.

Hotel is half Holiday Inn Express and half Staybridge Suites. It’s 25 minutes from Niagara on the Lake and a half hour to Niagara Falls. You have to ask for housekeeping. We asked for fresh towels when they didn’t clean our room and never got them. Disappointing only got noon late checkout as Platinum Elite when I requested 2 pm.

Location

Convenient by car between Niagara Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake, close to the outlet mall and highways, and generally quiet. Walkable dining is limited, so most guests drive, and a few found it remote for Falls attractions.

This HIE is an excellent value: clean, roomy, quiet, and comfortable. The breakfast is very good. The main issue is location. You're out in the boonies. However, if you have a vehicle and Google maps, you'll find yourself right in the middle of Niagara Falls, Niagara-on-the-Lake, and Queenstown Heights (about 15 minutes each). It's a much better deal than going into town.

The continental breakfast was good, but it was so busy that the wait for food was long at times and it was hard to find seating, even with the overflow room. The pool was lovely. The rooms were in good condition, but you essentially have to slam the doors to close them properly, leading to noise in the mornings. Not much was close to it, so you have to drive.

Here’s a little tip about the continental breakfast: it’s better to go early. Later on, there tend to be too many people, and the food isn’t replenished fast enough, which forces a long line of waiting. (Though it’s clear the staff are doing their best!). If gone early it's calm, peaceful and comfortable
