Lots of character in these rooms
This is a quaint place that's nice to stay in. Lots of options for eating, shopping for necessities, and other things near by, and the canal side park at the end of the block is a nice sitting space. The rooms have lots of character, and are converted apartments, so they have a "homey" feel to them. We will certainly come back at some point. There are some nearby train tracks, but downtown Little Falls is built without any grade crossings, and so they don't blow their whistle, so while you will hear the train (a plus for those travelling with a train lover) it's not obnoxious. My only complaints about the room was that the under-bed area had not been vacuumed, and the walls / ceilings hadn't been dusted in a while: it's nothing that would keep us from coming back, but it was noticeable, and did set off my dust allergy a bit.

Charming and authentic!
This is a wonderful, historic building at the center of the charming village of Little Falls. It is not fancy, but is authentic and modern in every sense that is important. Service is great, in the hotel and in the dining room. Owner was very responsive to all our needs and questions. We loved the space and wished we had time to stay longer.

The room was very nice. The stairs leading up to the room are steep, we were told before we booked, but they are not appropriate for elderly or handicapped people. The WiFi TV service was spotty.

The property was well maintained. It was an old, historic building so it does not have all the features that some might expect. There are two flights of stairs to climb and there are window air conditioners. Everything was clean and neat. The maintenance staff was excellent. The continental breakfast across the street was well done. Overall, we had a pleasant stay at the hotel.

Two flights of stairs to room and bad directions to inn were the only problems. Because of my difficulty with the stairs the lovely Italian host volunteered to bring our dinner to the room=excellent service!

A work in progress. The building is historic. The owner(s) have attempted to improve. However, the property is still in need of serious renovations. (Contacting a historic restoration grant is an option.) Further, we have not had face-to-face contact with any staff; it was only by phone that we connected with a staff member. Little Falls has excellent potential, and I hope that in the future, the Canal Side Inn will become a great stopping point. Until then, I recommend you research the Canal Side Inn before booking to understand where you are staying.

I have had an excellent suite of rooms. The living room is very large. The bedroom is larger than my own bedroom at home. The bathroom is as big as the bedroom. It is exceptionally quiet as well.

Pros: Decent place overall. "Quaint" decorative furnishings, kitchen and fully functional bathroom. Clean. Nice view from front-facing windows. Cons: Long, steep stairs up reach 3'rd floor. Bed was a 60/100 on the comfort scale. Fire escape not for the faint-of-heart nor the mobility-impaired.

We liked our room and enjoyed the cozy fire. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom and kitchenette were well equipped. More should be said about the steepness and amount of stairs to get to the room . Many people would have found them very difficult . As well the stairway rugs were old and dirty which did not match the coziness of the room itself. A few updates would really add to this experience.

Staying at the Canal Side in was an "experience". There is no obvious lobby to check-in at. We asked at the restaurant next door and were directed to the 3rd floor of the Stone Mill Inn across the street. The woman there took us back to the doorway next to the restaurant - the room was on the third floor. The Inn doesn't have an elevator, so you'll have to drag your bags up multiple sets of steep stairs. There are lights in the stairwell, they are motion activated and turn off quickly. The room is quaint but dated. Cushioning in the chairs and couch are worn and provide little support. The bed is firm and comfortable however the ceiling fan didn't work and half of the bulbs were missing. Airconditioning is provided by window AC units that are a bit loud. It looks as though the room is heated in the winter by a gas fireplace and a portable electric heater in the bedroom but I can't be certain of this as we visited in the summer months. The bathroom is off the bedroom and is reasonably modern. Internet access was marginal -streaming to the TV periodically dropped out. Overall, the staff are pleasant and friendly but the Inn would benefit from a bit of updating.
