We were planning to stay in niagara for a friends birthday last night and go to the dragonfly so we booked a hotel with Hotwire. Luckily, we ended up with the Holiday Inn-only a 3 minute walk from the establishment. We paid only 76$ for a basic room. That included two queen beds and a balcony. The suite was very spacious in comparison to our other friends who paid more for rooms at the Oakes...not to mention, the room was as nice if not nicer than theirs. The lady who was at the front desk when we checked in was extremely friendly and helpful.
The only thing I can say was bad about it is that there was what appeared to be a used hand towel and a used bottle of conditioner left on the sink when we arrived. Made me question the cleanliness of the room initially, but I found the rest of the room to be quite clean.
Overall, great bang for your buck.

This hotel is in great proximity to the falls, and restaraunts, etc.

We only stayed for one night, and enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub and sauna.

Rooms were clean and spatious.

Wifi internet worked well in the room on my iPhone.

Starbucks down the street, and good breakfast buffet at Coco's.

Nothing bad to say at all. Parking was free, and hotel was easy to locate.

We had a good stay on NYE - nice room - balconey - clean - Coco's was fun

no hesitation about going back

We stay at this hotel a couple of times a yr, this summer we stayed in rm# 123..GREAT HIDEAWAY from the bustle of the pool but with direct access to it as well. This winter we had Christmas in the Falls rm# 622. Very large room, lcd flatscreen (not in 123 sadly) VERY COMFY BED. There is a large jacuzzi tub in the large washroom with somesort of skylight above the tub itself. As much as we loved the tub, it really didnt have seats in it to enjoy the whole experience but we would definatly be staying here again. Problem with the lights in the washroom...very dull at best, even after calling and telling the front desk. They said they reset the breaker and that should help. Didnt tho. None the less a good time was had by all. Make sure you move the floor lamp infront of the armoir if you want to try to use the coffee maker as if you dont, you wont be able to see it.
