Property was gorgeous! The staff were incredibly helpful and the afternoon tea was an incredible experience. The only con was that Netflix didn’t work on our room tv. Overall, I would recommend this spot for anyone looking for a relaxed retreat.

Everything was wonderful: the staff, food, beautiful room and location. Unfortunately, they were in the process of renovating the parking lot, so guests had to park a distance away, but that is only temporary. The Charles is my hotel of choice whenever I visit Niagara-on-the-Lake.

My wife and I got lucky with finding this hotel. We based our decision on pictures and reviews and were very pleased w/ the results. This hotel is within a block or two of the shops and restaurants on or near Queen St, very convenient and sits on the edge of Niagara on the Lake Public golf course, very peaceful setting. The building is nearly 200 years old which adds to the charm. The staff was warm and welcoming on-site dining and drinks are top notch. Amy will take your order and has a load of recommendations for activities and wineries. We would definitely stay here again.

The on-site parking lot was under construction. We had been notified ahead of time, and were given instructions about how best to off load our luggage, and we were provided with complimentary parking a few steps from the property. Each room was well appointed with a comfortable bed. The 'welcome cookies' were a lovely treat. We'd definitely stay here again.
