“Great hotel, Great Price”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2009
2
people found this review helpful

My husband and I stayed at the Inn By The Falls from September 21st-26th for our honeymoon and we had an amazing time.
I reviewed TONS of hotels online and through trip advisor before booking and was someone nervous about booking this hotel as it was such a good price, however, I went ahead and booked anyways...Glad I did.

When we arrived we had to check in through the Country Inn and Suites which is the hotel directly next door which shares the same parking lot and are owned by the same people. Check in was very prompt and all of the staff that we encountered were very friendly. The one thing that they do not tell you when you are booking your reservation is that parking is extra...it costs $6.00 per day..HOWEVER, with that being said once you are there for a few days you will soon realive that you cannot go ANYWHERE in Niagara Falls without paying to park, and the $6.00 per night was a good price.

The hotel offers a contental breakfast through the Country Inn and Suites at an addition cost for Inn by the Falls guests of $6.00 and it is def. worth it as it is a hot and cold buffet. You are also given a key for the Country Inn and Suites to access all of there vending machines, ice machines and pool which is an added bonus.

We stayed in a room that had the heart shaped jacuzzi tub which is def. worth the extra money. The rooms were very clean, spacious and fairly up to date. Always an adequate amount of linens as well. Each room has a back door with access to a back patio as well which has a nice view of the Casino and Fallsview Indoor Waterpark.

This hotel is within walking distance to EVERYTHING you could ever want to do in Niagara Falls..Its is about a 3-4 minute walk from Clifton Inn which is the entertainment district of the Falls and you will find everything there you could ever need...and the hotel is only about 7-8 minutes (walking) from the Falls. We parked our car at the hotel and were able to walk to do just about everything that we wanted to do.

The only downside to staying in Niagara Falls is the cost of food. I think that we spent just as much on recreation stuff as we did on food during the week that we were there...the food is def. well overpriced however, they can do it because everyone needs to eat. So don't eat to much fast food before you go away because it will def. be your best friend when you are there.

Take advantage of all the combination packages that are offered for different events because they are def. worth it as it saves you about 10-20 dollars per person each one you do!

All in all it was an amazing honeymoon and the only bad thing I can say is the cost of food!

“Gets the Job Done”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2009

person found this review helpful

Inn by the Falls has clean, decent accommodations, good location, and a reasonable price. We were looking for a hotel with a jetted tub, and the heart-shaped tub in our room was straight out of the 70's, but it's kitschy fun. Other than that, there's not a lot to cheer about, but nothing really to jeer about either. It was clean, the bed was reasonably comfortable. The desk duties are handled at the Country Inn & Suites across the parking lot, and you have access to Country Inn's pool, recreation, and vending amenities. Country Inn guests get breakfast for free, but Inn by the Falls guests have to pay $6.00CAD per person for the breakfast - which still isn't a bad deal, all in all. It was a decent spread of hot and cold foods. The tourist district of Clifton Hill and the Falls themselves are in fairly easy walking distance, and if you're down for the Casino action (which I discovered I am not), this is a great location. Like the other reviewers, I found the parking fees ($6.00CAD per night) a bit of a stinger. I knew about that fee before I arrived, but you still hope that by the time you arrive, they've re-thought their policy. It's not a deal breaker, but it is an irritant.

“Enjoyed our lodging for our budget honeymoon”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2009

We always said that we should stay at the Inn by the falls for our Honeymoon, and that is exactly what we did. After staying at this Hotel in the summer of 2008 we fell in love with its location, value and Melrose Place charm.

This hotel is the one remaining building from a hotel which occupied the spot at the intersection of victoria and bender. A 3 story walk up with fully renovated interiors Inn by the falls offers the best of both worlds for budget concious travlers. If you don't mind not having a fridge, microwave, iron , in room movies or video games and you can handle stairs, then this is the place for you.

As on our last stay the room met the levels for cleanliness and orderliness that we ourselves expect of any hotel we stay at. Our room had a Heart shaped Jacuzzi tub and one king sized bed, As a nice touch at least both of the Jacuzzi suties we have stayed in have the AC and Heating unit located at the rear of the sutie where there is also an exterio wall, nice if you dont want cold air blowing all over you as you are in bed.

Nothing new has been added and nothing really has been taken away from the suties at Inn by the falls. You can still use the pool, exercise room and ice machine across the parkinglot at the Country In and Suite, but one thing they have done is clarify that a $6.00 continental breakfast is available for 6$ per person each day. All you need to do is go to the front desk of the Country Inn and Suites and buy them.

This was the first time we took the opportunity to eat breakfast there, and we found the food to be more or less passable. The area where you toast your ego waffles, bagels, bread and english muffins is cramped and makes it highly unorgansied, In fact overall the whole breakfast area is chaotic. We went because we were too tired to go out and eat breakfast anywhere else.

If being near clifton hill, and casiono niagara are what you want then both are in walking distance. Convenience stores are also in a short walking distance. Parking whcih is added to your room fees, is 6$ per night.

“very basic but clean and quite”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 July 2009

After staying in Toronto at 4* we stayed over night at this hotel. This hotel is one of the cheapest in the town but still twice as expensive then Toronto's Westin, by I guess - location dictates it. It is quiet location, 10-15 minutes walk to the Falls. The room is very basic but very clean. We were on the 3rd floor - no elevator. Parking is extra $6 per day. Breakfast is $6 per day/person extra. Breakfast selection is very limited.
I would recommend the hotel for someone to stay for a day or two, who wants a quit location but close to the main attractions and not too expensive.

“Delighted”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 May 2009

We booked just for one night and as soon as we got into the room we came back to the reception to pay another night. It was like living the 70s in a jacuzzi near the Falls. It is not in the centre of the town and is not such an amazing hotel but extremely recomended.
