Residence & Conference Centre - Niagara-on-The-Lake

Great option if all you need is a place to sleep for the night.

This Centre is part of Niagara College, and it's basically a dorm. The location isn't bad, although the building was hard to find. It's about 15 minutes from downtown Niagara-on-the-Lake, and there are coffeeshops and restaurants and an enormous outlet mall with a food court, all within a 5-minute drive. Parking is plentiful and there is a garden area with benches near the Centre. The price is very reasonable for this area in the summer. Our room had a kitchenette. And it all seemed clean, if a bit worn. On the downside, there are no amenities included. There's no business center or computers available, for example. The sound insulation in the building isn't very good. And the vertical slat blinds don't keep the light out in the morning. You can pay for coffee and other drinks and snacks in vending machines on the first floor, if you don't want to walk or drive to a nearby coffeeshop. All in all, this dorm is a great bargain for the NOTL area, in summer at least.

Great surrounding scenery, and very close to the outlet mall.
