The Spotlight on Hipwell's Motel

Simple Comforts Near the Heart of the Niagara Region

Modern convenience meets small-town charm at Hipwell's Motel, a no-frills, budget-friendly spot in peaceful Fonthill, Ontario. Just a short drive from live music hotspots in Niagara Falls and St. Catharines, this cozy motel offers everything you need for a comfortable overnight or weekend stay. With essential amenities like microwaves, mini-fridges, and air conditioning in every room—and even kitchenettes in some—you'll have a quiet place to recharge between shows.

Why Concert-goers love it

This motel is ideal for those looking to stay outside the noise of busier cities but still be within 30 minutes’ drive of major venues. After a long night out, you’ll appreciate the peaceful surroundings and the option to grab a bite or just crash in a well-equipped room. With free local calls and convenient check-in from 15:00, it’s easy to coordinate with your crew or snag a last-minute room.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want a wallet-friendly base for a concert weekend
  • Solo travelers seeing a dream show in Niagara
  • Couples seeking a quiet escape after a night of music
  • Fans who prefer a calm spot to recover after a loud gig
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t need bells and whistles

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, each room includes a microwave and fridge—perfect for late-night leftovers. The motel is also close to several local diners and takeout spots in Fonthill, and some rooms have kitchenettes for DIY meals. Early risers or those sleeping off a long night can find breakfast options just a few minutes away.

Nightlife Options

You're just a quick drive from the buzzing nightlife scenes of Niagara Falls and St. Catharines, where you’ll find live music, lively pubs, and nightclubs. Prefer to wind down? The quiet setting makes Hipwell’s a great place to relax post-concert with a drink back in your room or in the motel’s outdoor picnic area during warmer months.

What People Say

Guests love the clean rooms, affordable rates, and friendly service. Many mention the surprisingly quiet atmosphere despite being close to major roads, and the ease of parking—especially for those traveling in larger vehicles or RVs.

Areas for Improvement

The motel is a bit basic in style, and while it doesn’t offer luxury amenities or on-site dining, it makes up for it with practicality and value. Some guests recommend bringing your own snacks or breakfast items if you're staying more than a night.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a quiet, budget-conscious stay within driving distance of Niagara’s top concert venues, Hipwell’s Motel is a solid pick.

Good Value. Good Motel. Great...

Liked: Our room at this motel was affordable, clean and comfortable. After booking, I read some reviews that had me second guessing my decision. It definitely exceeded my low expectations. Sure, the decor is a bit dated (which I don't mind) It is an older motel, with some quirks, but our room had a flat screen T.V., air conditioning, microwave, bar fridge and a kettle. The location is excellent for exploring Niagara, very central to everything. I was impressed by the cleanliness. The sheets and towels were good. Bed was comfy. It was quiet. Overall, the motel and grounds appear to be well maintained. Patel, who checked us in was lovely. Just be aware that they require a cash damage deposit of $150, which you will get back at check-out. I wouldn't hesitate to stay at Hipwell's again.
Disliked: The a/c worked fine, but gave the room a bit of a musty smell. Didn't use it overnight as it was cool enough sleeping with screened windows open.
