“Wonderful B & B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2011

My wife and I enjoyed a two night stay this week (while celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary). Gary and Michel were wonderful hosts and really made us feel at home. If you go I would recommend the Eggs Benedict for breakfast. The coffee is also strong, but not bitter in any way - a real eye opener in the morning that does not have to be taken intravenously (lol). This was the best place we have stayed at for our anniversary and we definitely will be back.

“The heart of Niagara Falls - McGrail Guesthouse”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2009

If you are traveling to Niagara Falls and you choose to stay anywhere other than the McGrail Guesthouse, you are missing out on an incredible location and incredible hosts. Gary and Michael work so hard to make their bed and breakfast feel like home, but they also take time to get to know their guests. My husband and I enjoyed a perfect blend of privacy and socializing. Our best night at the falls didn't cost us a thing - we spent an evening by the outdoor fire with a bottle of wine and the best of company, Gary and Michael. In addition to the great company, we were served a fantastic breakfast (a three of four course breakfast at that) every morning. It was wonderful!

Every inch of the bed and breakfast is immaculate - these two wonderful men put the needs of the guests before their own. Future guests - Prepare to be pampered! Gary and Michael - Thank you for everything. You were the best part of our vacation.

“Feeling The Love”

This has got to be the best Guest house you could ever hope to experience. The Innkeepers Gary and Michel are two outstanding hosts who go that extra mile to ensure you have a wonderful stay. The rooms are fantastic, the breakfasts are beyond anything you could expect from any other guest house or hotel. Simply outstanding.

You arrive a stranger and leave having gained 2 new friends in Gary and Michel.

“Awesome place to stay along with a wonderful experience”

We were invited to a wedding in Niagara Falls. We had never met the bride or groom before; however, my boyfriend has been playing Ghost Recon on line with the groom for 8 + years.

We had the opportunity to meet the bride and groom along with their family members that were also staying at the McGrail B & B.
We had such a great time and enjoyed the warm and friendly atmosphere and the beautiful accomodations and decor that the McGrail B & B offers.

We felt as though Gary and Michel were part of the bride and grooms family because they helped arrange and plan a fantastic wedding for them.

Breakfast was available to everyone and it was fantastic. One of the evenings they planned a nice dinner for all of us that was out of this world.

I cannot say enough great things that we experienced during our stay. We laughed and laughed till our jaws ached because Gary and Michel are very fun loving and entertaining folks.

We would highly recommend the B & B because it will be an experience that you will cherish forever, as we will.

“The best B&B I have stayed in!”

I cannot write highly enough about the McGrail Guesthouse, and its wonderful innkeepers Gary and Michel (Not Michael or Michelle...). We spent a lovely weekend with them, and will definitely recommend them to anybody wishing to stay in Niagara Falls Ontario. From the warm welcome, to delicious homemade breakfasts (Gary's french toast, and Michel's breakfast pizza and homemade belgian waffles are not to be missed), we couldn't have asked for more welcoming hosts. Michel's restaurant recommendation was perfect, and their information on the town, as well as Niagara-on-the-lake was invaluable. Nothing in Niagara Falls can top this - you will definitely feel the love! We will be back as soon as possible.
