Well, it was an escape from my own city - Niagara is still pretty large...

We stayed just before christmas for one night as an escape from all the hustle and bustle that torments everyone at that time of year. We arrived around 6pm (parked at the Casino - saved $30.00) and walked over to the hotel, just a short 5 minutes away. The lobby was pretty contemporary, with TGI Friday, a Keg, and a gift shop all right there. Check-in was effortless, and they directed us to our room on the 15th floor. The room was exactly as described, a 2 room suite. The living room area had a kitchen table, a sofabed and a comfy chair, then you walk through a connector which housed the mini-fridge, a bar sink, coffee maker and microwave, as well as a bathroom sink and the door to the washrooms. The bedroom portion was large, and had an absolutely unparelleled view of the falls. There is no other view in Niagara that can compare. There is a TV, desk, closet and all the other standard amenities here. Pillows were great, bed was comfy. The bathroom had a 2 person whirlpool, another sink and a seperate toilet/stand-up shower area.

After getting ready, we hit up TGI Fridays which was okay - typical chain food. The only thing that was disappointing here was the length of time to be served. They said the kitchen was very backed up and offered us some drinks as compensation.

We went to the managers reception, but didn't stay long there, we went to the Casino for a while and that was it for the night.

The breakfast buffet is at The Keg, and it was phenominal! Everything, including the service, was fantastic!

I've booked my wife and her friends a night there next month as a surprise getaway. All told for the 3 people it's less than $200.00, which for Niagara is a great deal! We will be back again and again!

Excellent room for the value. Great little weekend break. Even the coffee in the room was a premium brand.

We have stayed at this hotel as a couple, with our young children and extended family as well.

We always book in advance using online discounts etcso checking is always less than 10 min.

The suites with 2 beds and pull out sofa bed in the living area can sleep up to 6 very comfortably. The bathrooms are spacious with private toilet and shower area, so it's definitely okay when you're in a group. There is an additional sink and vanity near the kitchenette. A mini fridge and microwave means you can take some food and drinks with you vs paying "falls" prices for basics like popcorn, hot/cold snacks, juice, drinks etc. This is great for families with children. There are 2 tvs and the falls side offers great views of the falls. Some trips, we were upgraded for free and didn't even bother going out to see the falls close up.

The new casino is walking distance as are many restaurants. You can drive or take a cab to Clifton hill.

We have enjoyed the arcade, pool and gym during our stays. All are clean and well maintained.

The breakfast is totally worth it for the venue and view. The food selection is great. Be sure to leave a tip as the servers go out of their way to keep your table in order and serve hot coffee as often as needed. My kids can be picky at times, so the servers always let me take a box of cereal, yogurt and fruit in case the kids want to eat later.

The lobby is often busy with large families, bachelorette and wedding parties etc,but rest assured that the rooms are quiet.

If you're visiting the falls for the 1st time, do dress in layers and take a light jacket in the spring, summer and fall. It can be cool at nights. Comfortable shoes are a must as it's hilly terrain.

My wife and I have stayed here many times. We usually paid $160/ nite and includes wine and finger foods on the first day upon arrival.
And a huge buffet breakfast overlooking the falls at the Keg. You cant beat that. Had a dealfind bargon the other week for $100..plus a 40 dollar dinner voucher for dinner at the Keg...wow. It keeps getting better. Rooms are huge ..lots of space for kids. Now book this place and enjoy your self.
