“Just Gross, ant infestation in room 8”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 September 2011

person found this review helpful

We had high hopes for this place, as we reviewed the information online here. Wow, where we disappointed. The bed was so nasty, when my fiance laid on it with me, I would sink to the middle of the bed, so would he. The rooms was so tilted and slated to one side it felt as though you where in a fun house.

We had a terrrible problem with ants our first night, we saw a few of them. I mentioned to him. Well its not like we live here, and asked for him to just over look them. However the next night was horrible. There where so many ants along the side board that we left. We called in the night watch man to view the problem and we check out that night. No, offer to help us find another room or hotel. Just that they would refund that night. Great service.

It wouldnt of been that bad but the girls at the counter where just idiots. I was there for a wedding and the other usher came to get me at the hotel and asked for my name and room number. The four front desk girls just giggled and said that they couldnt help him. Nor could they go call up to the room as there is no phones in any of the rooms. He asked if they could check. And was told no, they couldnt as they didnt know if I was in the room. No effort was made to check or for him to be directed to the room. The manager Garry Hierlihy the next day pointed out; well he could of just walk up the steps! The fact the the staff made no attempt is just plain sad. Worst part is that they kept changing the story of my friend of 15 years apparently didnt know my name or room number. Which he did. The staff is immature and very unproffessional.

That the hotel is only secondary to their man function as a water speed boat service is screams get you act together if you are going to run a hotel.

We had to ask for the light to be fixed and their front desk girls asked the brilliant question.
Do you think its the buld? Or something else. Wow - if the light doesnt work. Uhmm I wonder just wonder what it could be.

Overall the prices isnt worth a sagging bed, infested with ants and the nasty smell. Ugh. Save your money and find another place.

“Excellent budget accommodation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 June 2011

person found this review helpful

We stayed here for for two nights. It's central to everything in the town and just what we needed. The staff were friendly and helpful, and everything was clean and tidy. I really liked the little extra touches, like the folded up towels like swans and animals and the small breakfast basket they left outside our bedroom door in the mornings.

It's the perfect budget hotel for exploring the area.

“Would not be my first chioce by any means”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 July 2010

people found this review helpful

The King George the III Inn is located on the water on a small side street. The Inn only consists on 9 rooms that are clean, but they are not big at all. My family of 5 went with 1 room and we had to get another because the rooms only consist of 1 Queen size bed which is not very far from sleeping on the floor, very hard beds. The bathrooms are very modern and the shower barely gives any water power, and the blow dryer takes twice as long on its highest setting (2) to dry hair then a normal blow dryer. The rooms only come with 1 little bottle of shampoo and a little bar of soap, no conditioner. My family stayed at the Inn for 3 nights and our rooms didn't get cleaned once. Small TV'S. The breakfast is delivered to your room in the morning in a little basket with 2 granola bars, 1 fruit cup, 1 orange juice, 1 apple juice. I don't think ill be staying here again.

“Comfortable hotel, reasonable rates, friendly staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 July 2010

person found this review helpful

I stayed at The King George III for 4 nights in one of the rooms at the cheapest rate so it didn't have much of a view. You don't have to go through the Jet Tour department on the first floor to get to your room as another reviewer has said. There is a separate entrance for hotel guests. My room and bed were comfortable and the bathroom was very clean. The air conditioner was quiet and efficient. The room is too small for a couple but it was great for just me. I liked having a coffee maker in the room because there was no place nearby to get coffee. Breakfast came in a small basket and was delivered outside the room around 8:00. The breakfast, a bit too heavy on the sugar, usually consisted of a 12 oz. can of orange and apple juice as well as apple sauce, pudding and a chocolate Quaker Oats bar. The hotel is a short walk to the main part of town, and I felt safe walking back from the Shaw Festival late at night. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I left a bottle of pills in my room when I checked out and one of the housekeeping staff rushed down to give it to me before I drove off. Guests also get a generous discount for the Jet Tour.

“Comfy and clean accommodations at a good price in an expensive town”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 September 2009

people found this review helpful

What a find! Niagara-on-the-Lake has become very expensive to visit in the last 10 years, as nearly all the hotels and restaurants went "upscale" and took the prices up with them. Cheaper hotels in NOTL were not fit to stay in. Then I found the King George III Inn -- inexpensive, well-located and a very nice place to stay.

It's a walk-up on the second floor of a two-story building, with the Niagara Jet Boat tour below. That was not noisy or distracting, despite the all-day crowds visiting for the Jet Boat ride. In fact it was kind of fun to be staying upstrairs from a fun tourist attraction.

Rooms are spartan, and not excessively decorated, but are very clean and my bed was comfortable. Many rooms (although not mine) have furnished balconies with a view of the NOTL marina across the street.

Reliable wireless internet was available at no charge in my room, which also was equipped with a coffee maker. Rooms have no phone but there's a phone at the hotel desk where I was able to call out using my calling card. Iron and ironing board was available when I requested it. Hot water and water pressure are plentiful. Wall-mounted climate-control unit worked well and quietly.

Being less than a half-mile from the US side of the Niagara River, I was often able to get a US cellular signal -- which was nice because I didn't have to pay out-of-country charges.

Location at the pretty marina on the Niagara River waterfront is a plus. Parking was not a problem. Hotel is less than 10 minutes' walk to the Shaw Festival theatres, Queen Street shopping and dining, and several of NOTL's most attractive parks and public spaces.

Breakfast is a basket left outside your door, with two 12-oz cans of juice and packaged snacks such as fruit cup and applesauce, granola bars and cookies.

The only downside in my room was the vertical blinds on the windows. They did a poor job of blocking light, and one of the strips was missing in the window next to my bed, which sent morning sun into my face before I was ready for it.

My room had no desk or table, but I was in a small room and others may be furnished more fully. I noticed the balconies of other rooms had tables and chairs.

All in all, a great value in an expensive town, and a comfortable and friendly place to stay.
