Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is perfectly located near the falls with convenient access to various restaurants. The rooms are decent but lack some basic amenities. The service is friendly and efficient, making the stay pleasant overall.
The hotel's rooms need some updating but are good overall, located outside the main building. However, they appeared tired, and corridors needed new carpet and decorating. The distance from the elevators was a bit far. The service was attentive and pleasant, though they should provide more secure places for purses. The location offered a perfect view of the waterfall on the Canadian side and had clean surroundings with friendly staff. The dining experience, not known before booking, turned out to be expensive with additional taxes involved.
The hotel is in a convenient location next to the Horseshoe Falls, offering fantastic views. The rooms, though cold upon arrival, were spacious and included a fridge. The service was friendly and courteous, even if the staff seemed busy with other tasks. Unfortunately, the dining experience was poor, with high prices for subpar food.
The hotel had an amazing location directly adjacent to the horseshoe falls and near a park with stunning Christmas lights display. The rooms looked out onto Niagara Falls, but mine wasn't ready by check-in time at 4 pm. The service was very friendly but became cold after I complained about the room readiness.
The hotel had a beautiful view of the falls from our room, allowing us to enjoy the natural scenery. However, the room could benefit from some renovations or better cleaning. The service was the highlight of our stay, as the staff went above and beyond to assist us, even helping with shipping items back to our residence. The location was excellent, with easy access to Table Rock via a funicular, providing a central base to explore the falls and enjoy the festive drive-thru lighting. The dining options, while limited, included grilled seafood as part of the package we purchased.
The hotel's location offers some advantages being close to the Niagara Falls, but it falls short on room cleanliness and the promised view. Service had its highs and lows, while dining options could use some improvements. The proximity to local attractions and restaurants is a definite plus.
The hotel had some drawbacks in terms of room amenities like no fridge, outdated facilities, and a cramped outhouse bathroom area. On the bright side, it offered a nice view of the falls and a convenient location near the elevator.
The hotel's location is extremely convenient to the falls and restaurants, offering amazing views. The rooms were clean but felt a bit outdated, lacking a refrigerator which was inconvenient due to high-priced nearby restaurants. Housekeeping could be more accommodating and less abrupt. Overall, the hotel is ideal for easy access to attractions but has room for improvement in room amenities and service responsiveness.
The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. Although the rooms face the falls, the view can be obstructed by trees below the 10th floor. The experience is similar to any run-of-the-mill hotel in Canada. I faced challenges such as not having a shower chair, which was a necessity. The location was great with various dining options nearby, yet the hotel was not in the main building and seemed rundown.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed experience. The location was great for sightseeing the falls and shopping, offering a clean and spacious room at a better price compared to neighboring hotels. However, the rooms seemed subpar, taking longer to get ready and feeling like a poorly attached motel to the Oakes hotel. The swimming pool area was enjoyable for a short hour, but the hard cot without a mattress was quite uncomfortable.
The hotel offered a very unpleasant stay with unclean rooms, poor accessibility, and subpar room locations. Despite a convenient location near attractions, the overall experience was disappointing due to room quality and service issues.
The hotel's location is great, offering a pleasant escape from the crowded areas near the falls with good value for money. The room was spacious and clean, but noise made it hard to sleep. The service was lacking in information and customer care, yet the proximity to attractions was a positive point. Dining options were limited for non-meat eaters. Overall, a mix of positives and negatives.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms offered a view of the car park, but also had Windows on 3 sides and a straight-on view of the Canadian falls, making it unique. However, I encountered bugs in the room which was a downside. The service was average, with staff assuming guests knew everything about hotels and rooms. On a positive note, we had no trouble getting our room and they promptly opened our door for us.
The hotel had amazing views of the falls but felt like it was in a less ideal location. The rooms were not well-maintained, with issues like dust everywhere and a cramped bathroom space. The service was rude and unaccommodating, charging extra for basic cleaning requests. The location was fairly close to the falls but did not offer the promised views. Dining options were limited, and assistance for specific dietary needs was lacking.
