Close to perfect....a few tweaks would make it so!

PROS
- amazing view from a fallsview room
- rooms well-appointed and VERY quiet
- large, glass-enclosed shower and good-sized bathroom
- excellent, responsive and friendly staff
- large parking garage, easily accesssible
- fast elevators and plenty of them
- completely non-smoking in public spaces and casino as of 2007!
- interesting shopping and restaurant choices inside the complex
- spectacular outdoor gardens and trails alongside the falls
- easy walking distance to the magnificent Falls
CONS
- room prices have beeen trending upward, hard to get a deal on room rates
- curious lobby....no ropes to guide people into lines for checking in...quite confusing when the lobby is full.
- food in Grand Buffet less than grand...emphasis seems to be on quantity of food available but a lot of it seems to have had the taste cooked-out of it.
SUMMARY
Overall, this is the way to see Niagara Falls in its full majesty, with the convenience of a casino in the same building. The easy parking (free with a Players Advantage Card, which is also free) and overall experience is of high quality, and for that quality you will pay a premium rate, probably the highest in Niagara Falls. If you gamble a lot of $$$, room deals are available (even comps!).
For less money, the Marriott Fallsview just a block away does almost the same thing minus the casino.
