Before going to Prudhommes Inn, I read the comments here and was struck by their extremes: some saying "don't stay; urine smell & bugs" while others said "Qualité/prix excellent".
I'd rate it somewhere inbetween.
There was no urine smell or other smell in the room, though some of the lobbies had stale air, and one entranceway was hot enough that it felt like a sauna. The hallway carpets were stained. But the room, beds, and bathroom were acceptable. This hotel does not have a view. Our room was facing north (but don't expect a view of the lake). A room on the south side of the building might suffer from QEW freeway noise (we didn't try one of those rooms). We did not try the pool. For breakfast they gave us a voucher good for a sandwich at the neighboring Subway. Other than the marginal upkeep of this place, I'd say its biggest drawback is the location -- it's 14km from St Catharines, for example, in the middle of nowhere, on a freeway service road, half a kilometer from the lake.
