What a neat historical hotel! The hotel was beautiful and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Our room was very cozy and very well furnished. We really enjoyed the extra sitting area in the evening. The breakfast was very good too! Really appreciated the free coffee and cookies available in the entry and the bar was super nice. Probably the best part of this hotel was the great location! Right down the street from The Niagara State Park! The staff told us we could go up to the very top floor and view the fireworks they did over the Falls every night too! That was a great way to view them! The area around the hotel had several restaurants and the parking was in a secure gated lot right across the street. If your going to the park, this is definitely the hotel to stay in!

Biggest perk is the excellent location. Walking distance to all major tourist sites on both US and Canadian side. Hotel is showing its age with paint, carpet and wallpaper. Comfortable beds, quiet, and clean but doesn’t feel luxurious if that’s what you’re looking for.

Over priced cheap hotel

It's equivalent to the Holiday Inn Express. Tje pictures make it look much more elegant than it is. The breakfast was continental, with powered eggs and sausage pucks in warmers. Very disappointed. Should have just booked with one of the nearby hotels and saved the $80, gotten a good breakfast elsewhere.

Gorgeous hotel! We stayed in suite 1302. The only concern we had was the fire alarm going off for 25 minutes on a Saturday morning and none of the staff seemed to know what was going on. Meanwhile all guests were standing outside speculating because no staff came out to communicate. This was the ONLY issue we had during our stay.

Pretty much standard breakfast fare, but very adequate. Only things I noticed which need addressed: 1. Carpeting in room is worn nd looking shabby around doorways. 2. Large, tiled shower. However, floor was slippery and there was no rubber mat or grab bars. Any elderly person, of someone with balance issues could easily fall. 3. Shower pressure could be improved.

Friendly staff on reception. Secure free parking just across the street. Good breakfast. Only a short walk from Rainbow Bridge so great location. We found the room quite dark as the lighting was limited and there were no bedside tables which was a nuisance, but otherwise the stay was good.
