We splurged for one night of the Fallsview and adventure package at the Sheraton, then spent the rest of our trip saving $ at the Inn by the Falls. Guests have access to the pool, breakfast buffet ($6 / person), and facilities across the parking lot at the Country Inn and Suites. For family members of all ages and abilities, the Inn is within easy walking distance of the falls and other major attractions. The staff and service were great, the rooms were a little cramped but comfortable

I have to say that our stay was well accomodated by the staff working there. The room had a jacuzzi, not the most luxurious room, but cozy enough. The food in the restaurant was respectable and the indoors pool well maintained. The only draw back that I would see there is of course having to pay for the parking. And If may make any suggestions to people wanting to go out to dinner or breakfast by the main strip (close to the falls), keep in mind that there is an additional tax charged at stores located close to the water front, it's part of a seasonal tax they have going on to give a boost to seasonal businesses during the summer so they can maintain the rest of the year. If you're crossing to the states make sure you are going to niagara by the lake, nothing much going on at niagara falls, NY. As a last tip, don't hesitate to spend the extra 5-15$ to get a descent room, trust me sometimes that extra buck will go a long way... Inn by the falls was not the only place we stayed at.... I should have book there for the whole trip. Have a great time people, hopefully this will help.

might be something to look at:

Stayed here one Sat night. Great location right across from the old Casino. Room was perfect size. Short walk to many attractions. Would recommend this place if your only going to stay a few nights

For us this Hotel has become our Default Hotel. When we talk about going to the Falls this is pretty much the only place that we think of staying. We are budget constrained travellers and are willing to give up the amenities afforded to you in most Hotels such as interior corridors, a fridge and microwave or on demand movies. This Hotel offers none of these features.

What it does offer over a number of Exterior entry Hotels in the Falls is:

-Location (Close to Clifton Hill and many walking distance attractions)
-Safety (On the same property as Country Inn and Suites By the Fallls)
-Indoor Pool, Hot Tub and Gym (Available at Country Inn and Suites By the Falls)

We swam in the Pool as usual, and it was clean as usual. Our room was a Jetted Tub room which was nice and cool. We stayed on a weekday and the rate was reasonable and was less than 100$ for the night.
