Lovely spot but I couldn’t sleep

Review of Oban Inn
4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 2 Oct 2023via mobile
The rooms are spacious and clean but unfortunately I didn’t get a good night sleep. There was some noise that kept me awake and then light filtered through the shutters. I guess a couple of curtains are needed. The fridge in the room also didn’t help as it kept humming.
Date of stay: October 2023
Room Tip: The breakfast was extents good 😊

I have recently stayed at the Oban Inn..first, the food and cleanliness were exceptional...however, our room, which was located at the back of the hotel near the HVAC system, was extremely loud..the pool floor was dirty...no hot springs since COVID, even though the hot springs sre advertised on their website along with a posted picture in the elevator...way too much furniture in the room, which made moving about difficult...also TV's are small, with very few enjoyable channels and the remotes barely functioning...mattress definitely needed to be replaced due to broken edges...A beautiful hotel that is way passed it's prime..

Room tip: Upgrades badly needed

Stayed in June 2020 during the pandemic lockdown.

This is an older review, but still, this hotel stands up after 20 plus years. (my first stay was 1998).

They handled the pandemic very well, breakfast was brought to rooms directly by staff. Lake view King rooms are worth the extra for summer nights.

Love the location of this hotel away from all the action of the main area.

We have been in Niagara on the Lake many times. For this trip, we thought it would be fun to reserve The Oban Suite in the Oban House at Oban Inn. It was a mistake and a disappointment.

The suite is very nice ... a few quirks but once you got used to them, it is fine. The building in which it is located ... Oban House ... is a disaster. The noise level is incredible ... foot-steps in the room above on a very squeaky floor, dogs barking, children crying, showers being taken, and more. The neighbors were not doing anything unusual, they were just in a building that transmitted every sound.

We talked with one of our neighbors and they had the same experience. As they said, "A very nice room in a terrible building. The noise level is remarkable. We will not stay here again."

Nor will we. Niagara on the Lake has many options for out of town guests. The Oban Inn should not be among them.

The Oban Inn is very attractive from the outside, but at all costs avoid Rooms 304 and 305. They are just behind the back door to the kitchen, and the kitchen's exhaust fan, which is as noisy as a large piece of earth-moving equipment, operates until 10:30 p.m. Not only is the noise unbearable, but the exhaust fumes make the room smell like the inside of a beef grill. As the hotel was fully booked, the management was not able to give us a different room. We loved Niagara-on-the-Lake but dreaded returning to our hotel at the end of the day.

I’m not sure if the room, the spa or the restaurant were the best. They are all superb. Breakfast is to die for. My wife raves about her facial and eye treatment at the spa. Steak dinner and the shrimp plus scallops were not exceptional. Stuffed mushrooms and mussels were great too.
