BEST Places to Stay in Niagara on the Lake
Looking for good places to stay in Niagara-on-the-Lake?
I go on trips to Niagara on the Lake almost once a year – girls’ trips with my best friends and weekend getaways with my husband.
Having spent hours researching good places to stay there, I’m very familiar with what you can get for different budget levels.
Bed and breakfasts are the most common type of accommodation in Niagara on the Lake, but you can also find AirBnbs, a few hotels – budget friendly and boutique hotels.
Approximate budget for Niagara on the Lake accommodations:
- Budget: $200-$300 per night (it doesn’t get much lower than this, especially if you want to be somewhat close to the downtown)
- Mid-Range: $300-700 per night
- Luxury: $700-$1,000+ per night
So, let’s jump in – I’ve divided up the best places to stay in different categories.
Best Bed and Breakfasts to Stay in Niagara on the Lake
Niagara on the Lake is full of bed and breakfasts, it is the most common style of accommodation available. After experiences staying at a few of these places, and extensive research and analyzing ratings, I’ve narrowed it down to what I think are the best bed and breakfasts in Niagara on the Lake!
Pro Tip: Bed and Breakfasts in Niagara Falls do not tend to allow families. Even if Booking.com says they were “rated well by families with kids”, if you look into it, you will see that kids under 18 are not allowed to stay there. If you’re a family with kids, then scroll down to my family-friendly accommodations section!

I stayed at Caronnel Bed & Breakfast for a girl’s weekend. It had lots of space, the breakfast was delicious with generous portions. It’s only for people who have a car, as its too far to walk into town and back. I would highly recommend this place if you don’t mind being out of town.
