Niagara is EXPENSIVE

The hotel itself sits away from the main road to all the attractions. The only way to get to the hotel from the Canadian Falls is the Incline Railway..which you have to pay for, otherwise you have to back track and walk around the hill. The fallsview rooms are descent, but unless you are at the far end of the floor you won't see much because of the new casino that is standing infront of the room. We stayed in room 1408 and the view was okay...just the top of the falls. We stayed during the winter so none of the trees had their leaves, I suspect that in the summer time you won't be able to see the falls at all because of the trees. The hotel also charges $18 (Canadian) for parking, after you add all the taxes that adds up to over $20(Canadian) a night. There is a lot across the road that only charges $10/night. We parked there after our second night and had no problems with the car. The hotel itself is very nice and a good romantic getaway; our room was clean and very comfortable. The staff always greeted us when we walked into the lobby.
I swim, their "lap pool" is barely 25m, so it was a disappointment when I went to swim, but the water was comfortable and I got a few in. The jets to the spa barely shot out.
I'd have to try out a different hotel in the area before I'd stay again. It is a Marriott chain and it does stand up to the name, I wasn't disappointed overall.
