This sprawling 220-room resort just off the QEW, 15km from Niagara-on-the-Lake, offers well-appointed rooms and resort-style service and facilities: there's a full-service spa and on-site restaurant. The opposite of quaint. Rates, though, can be cheaper than downtown accommodations. A variety of stay packages available.
