A Wonderful Treat-Hope To Go Back Someday
We stayed in Niagara Falls for two nights and I don't think we could have picked a nicer hotel! The whole experience was wonderful and made for the most memorable stay. The view from our room, 3206, was spectacular, with views of both the Horseshoe Falls and the American Falls. If this is your first visit to see Niagara Falls, which it was for us, I highly recommend this hotel. Granted, it is pricey. But you get what you pay for, and we were treating ourselves. There are motels north of the Fallsview area, on Niagara Parkway, that might be better suited to those who might find this hotel too expensive. We wanted a memorable trip, and we saved for a memorable trip, and we had a memorable trip.
We did not have to wait more than a minute for an elevator, the free breakfast buffet on the 9th floor was wonderful, with made to order omelets that were some of the best I've eaten, the manager's reception each night included excellent munchies and some of the best salsa. Relaxing in the jacuzzi, looking out over the Falls, was like Heaven. We found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. Yes, we did pay the $30 to have our car brought up to the door whenever we needed it (as opposed to $20 to be shuttled to the car parked off premises), but the wait was never long. We felt it was worth the money, and made us feel special. It's not something you do every day. The Keg and TGI Friday's are both expensive places to eat. So we didn't eat on premises, but found a wonderful restaurant on the south end of town called Betty's Restaurant. The food was excellent, desserts and pies were all homemade, and prices were no worse than the Milwaukee-Chicago area. I got around the phone call charge by using a calling card to make all calls. You are allowed 60 minutes of free 800 calls per day, and since all the calling card calls go through an 800 number, didn't pay a cent on phone calls. There were no surprise charges on my bill at all, as was mentioned in previous reviews. All in all, if you are looking for an extremely nice place to stay, with a beautiful view from your floor to ceiling window of Niagara Falls, and a memorable time, I highly recommend this hotel.
