Reviews
So we were up there for there this past weekend and I will start that they view was awesome, and the location was great, but that is where it ended. This hotel is older and showing it age. The tv in our room only worked on about half of the stations. There was wall damage in many places, the tiles in the tub area were cracked. I will say our bed was very comfortable. You really are just paying for the price of your view.
Pros: Great location and nice views My room was 1226 and the view was good. The falls view rooms have a nice view. Staff was ok.nCons: No microwave in fallview rooms, it is difficult for someone who drinks warm water every time and wants to heat their food. There is only one microwave for the entire hotel isn't that bizarre? Quality of rooms are that of a 2 star hotel. Mattresses were old and springy and made noise. The size of the washroom was super small and the sink was outside. Non cupboard to keep clothes. No place to keep suitcases. The washrooms' flushes are a century old and the light in the washroom was super dim. For the price, I would give only one star for the rooms.nnIf I get competitive prices I would rather stay in other hotels with similar views.
Only good thing is the location. But then agin the parking was 50$ per night. The quality of the room was similar to that of a very cheap motel. Toilet paper and towels were basically cardboard. Because we had a two night stay, apparently there is no room service that i never heard of my whole life. No complimentary breakfast.nnHonestly not worth the price.
I stayed on the 10th floor and the view was breathtaking. The view of the falls from the room is absolutely gorgeous. The rooms are clean and nice. The bathrooms are not the best. Our toilet barely flushed, there is the dimmest light in the bathroom and it’s very narrow. The wait at the front desk can be a bit of a wait time sometimes so be prepared for that. The parking is $50 a day, and the parking lot does get full very quickly. It’s a five minute walk to the railway that takes you down to the falls or you can walk on the avenue for 10 minutes and get to the falls. The railway to the falls is a pretty good price and it’s worth it because the walk up and down the hills can be tiring. The casino is right a few doors down, there’s tons of food options and things to do.
Below is my experience during the recent stay, a few positives and things that could have been better:nnSo so stuff:nn- Rooms are very small, not well maintained, and not many amenities for a high-priced room.n- Washroom is tiny, and the shower barely fits 1 adult.n- No complimentary breakfast for such a high- priced room.n- The complimentary coffee machine did not work.nnGood stuff:nn- Location is close to the falls and all attractions.n- Staff and service were amazing.n- 1 minute walk to bus stop.n- Complimentary gym & pool.n- Vending machines for drinks & snacks.
