Nice clean and quiet hotel
This was my friend's and my second visit to this hotel. Check in was good and room was clean, mattresses and pillows excellent. Our only issue was the room was cold. We turned the heater on and even after several hours it only got up to 19. Before going to bed for the night we went to the front desk to let her know about the heat and requested extra blankets. The front desk lady did end up bringing us something to our room but it was mattres pads not blankets, which we didn't realize until after she left. The pool was closed which was fine as we didn't plan to use it and they charge $20 a day parking which should be updated on their Hotels.com listing. Overall a pretty good place.

Overall experience
While check in, my guest has to pay their hotel bills. Reception did not allow me.
There was terrible bad smell in room and washroom. The room thermostat did not work properly. Smoke alarm was hanging on ceiling. The washroom door lock was working. Shower knob came off while I was taking shower.
Breakfast was good.
Will not be coming again.

Condition matches the price.
Beds were a bit hard. Some rooms had water marks on the ceiling. Our room only had 1 night stand and very few plug for charging our phones. Had to use an iron from another room as ours didn't have one. Breakfast was ok. Unsure about the pool. A lot of stairs. It's always leg day at this inn.

Our room faced the river and cliffside so it was a beautiful view. It was a little loud at night, however, with thin walls and floor/ceilings, but a perfectly nice inn with the right amenities available.

Pretty quiet hotel with very sweet staff and comfortable beds (so much so we overslept our checkout time). Offered free breakfast but slept through it by accident.
Shower water is impressively hot very quickly, and got lots of towels and facecloths and soap. The shower curtain could have been washed better as it was a little mildew-y, but for the price in Niagara it was a very comfy stay.

4/10 Fair
September 11, 2024
Overall The place is ok, Kinda get what you pay for vibe.
No elevator access.
Paying 50$ in parking for a vacant lot is Atrocious.
When asked about why they charge they said “it’s Niagara Falls everyone does it.”
I asked around.. most don’t. Especially during lowest of low season.
3/4 lights in the room didn’t work.
On the positive side: the view was decent, the room was large. And seemed fairly clean.
Overall 3/10 wouldn’t stay again but wouldn’t be mad if I had to spend the night in a pinch
