Default Hotels for Rennlist Fall Drive

Wife and I are planning to attend this years Rennlist Fall Drive in St. Catharine's. Would like to head down there a day before the event and stay overnight in a good hotel - something Porsche-friendly. Are there any like-minded folk out there with the same idea? Any good hotels nearby, within 20-30 minute drive? After the Fall Drive, might stay another night and head home the next day.

Niagara Falls has tons of hotels, from cheap motels up to luxury suites. Niagara on the Lake has lots of B&Bs and more quaint-style inns. We've stayed at several in NOTL. The Vintage Hotel group are nice, though expensive. Most have restaurants and spas. We've stayed at Two Bees B&B several times, great hosts, excellent location.

Recently stayed at the Newark Manor B&B in NOTL, excellent accommodation at a very reasonable price and breakfast was fantastic. Great owners as well.

Queen's Landing in Niagra-on-the-lake is quite nice.

White Oaks in St.Catharines is nice place to go. I use the gym there and it is definitely nice. Lots of nice cars park there.

I wouldn't really worry about parking a Porsche anywhere in NOTL. We do all the time, overnight, in a lot or driveway, never had a problem. And clearly my car doesn't have an alarm or anything

I actually manage a new hotel in Oakville and as I said on the other thread I would be happy to provide special rates for the drive. So send me a PM if you are interested.

I live just around the corner from White Oaks, it's a great place, totally recommend it. If anyone needs any other info on other places in the Niagara area just pm me.

Agree with Bronson 7: White Oaks is a great Hotel. Breakfast in their IVY restaurant is good too.

Pillar & Post in NOTL

Riverbend Inn & Vineyard in NOTL.

A warning on Pillar and Post - it can get very expensive! If the missus does a few spa treatments, dinner and wine at the hotel. Several years ago we did all that and just one night's stay plus extras was a whopping $850! I was shocked when I saw the bill!
