The small hotel was awesome. The breakfast had lots of options. The room was large and well appointed. The desk staff was very good, he even brought us up a bottle a wine our friends sent to us. Not only that he got us wine glasses as well. The volume on one of the two TVs wasn't working and he came right up and fixed it. The hotel is only 1.2kms (15 minute walk) from the main street so saved on paying for parking. There are also two bike rental places within a block. There are a couple of great restaurants within a block and a Tims across the street. It is located within a beautiful neighborhood that was nice to walk around. It also right at the cross road for the main vineyards. The bed was very comfy and pillows perfect. The little sitting area had a couch, chair, tv and fireplace. There was also a TV you could watch from bed. The bathroom was updated and just lovely and the day we were leaving they were installing grab rails in all the bathrooms. All and all we loved our stay here and will visit again.

We had a wonderful welcome at the Colonel Butler Inn. We came for the eclipse, which was a bit of a bust because of cloud cover, but the stay at the Inn was really special. We brought our dog and their "dog-friendly" room was set up with a special carpeted platform and dog dishes, as well as a welcoming treat (call ahead to arrange this special service). The staff were all very friendly and thoughtful. We humans got special eclipse-cookies and other considerations while we were there. The room was clean and, miracle of miracles, had no odors (either underlying mildew or perfumy cleaners). This is a big plus for us, because one of my daughters and I are both sensitive to smells. Additionally, the free breakfast is fresh and varied with many delicious and healthy options. If we ever go back to Niagara-on-the-Lake, which is a lovely community, we would plan to stay here. Also, the area around the Inn is a quiet neighborhood which was great to walk through, with and without the dog.
