Where is the best place to stay in Niagara Falls, Ontario, and what are the things to do while there?

Question

I am searching for a nice, affordable hotel in Niagara Falls, ON. I know we will be viewing the falls, on both the USA side and Canadian side, and taking the Mist boat ride.

Answer 1

Last year I stayed at the Rodeway Inn Fallsview on Stanley Avenue (Ontario side) in mid-September. It was right across the street from the Minolta Tower, surrounded by restaurants both local and chain and was a short walking distance from the Fallsview Casino. It wasn't too far up the hill from the Falls either. A day pass on the incline could cut that down even further. They offer free parking, an outdoor pool and various restaurants in the area including a pizza/Italian place right across the parking lot. Pricing for me was about $65C. Finding the exact price for your party is where your research will begin.

Three additional tips about the Rodeway Inn Fallsview:

1. Make sure it's the Rodeway Inn Fallsview on Stanley Avenue since there are three Rodeway Inns in NFO and a fourth in NY. The other three are MUCH different than this location and are not recommended.

2. This location is a hybrid where they built a new section in front of an older property. I stayed in the newer section and can report a clean and well appointed room. Some reviews claim the newer section is better than the older one. However, a 4 out of 5 smile rating from Travelocity and a three diamond rating from AAA may contradict that idea. Having only stayed in the newer section, I can't confirm it, though.

3. For some unexplained reason, I found the double bed rooms here to be cheaper than the single bed rooms. Usually, it's the other way around. I had no problem being in a double bed room (especially since the room was quite large to begin with) if it meant my stay was cheaper. Since you're traveling with your family, it might actually save you some extra money at this location.

Ok, you can go to Micheals Inn by the Falls, BTW just search any these via google and youll get thier sites. I have one to Micheals every year all the time iv'e lived hear for new years and it never dispoints its near everything. Also there are two great hotels right on Clifton Hill the Best Western and the Days Inn both of which are fine!

When I was there in Niagara Falls I stayed in Sheraton on the Falls Hotel which overlooks the falls.  Or you can stay in Courtyard

Of course you'll have to take the Jet Boat Tours, remember you'll get wet!

Other things to do include:

- Visiting vineyards (15 minutes north of the falls)

- Visit the Niagara Falls view Casino

- See the Canada dinner show
