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.

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.
