Picking a Hotel Location
Staying at a hotel that is within easy walking distance to the park is very convenient. Choose a location that is a compatible distance for you. In Canada there is a 100 foot / 30 meter change in elevation between the park and the hotel district. You walk downhill to Queen Victoria Park to view the falls and uphill to get back to your hotel. For easy access from the hotels nearest the Canadian Falls try the incline railway for a small fee.
In New York the terrain is flat for an easy walk in both directions.

When to reserve your room?
The hotels closest to the falls typically sell out well before July and August. It’s best to book your room as far in advance as possible. There are no fees for making a reservation, just be sure to cancel 48 hours in advance to avoid penalties.
Q: Are there any Fallsview Hotels that offer outdoor balconies?
A: The Sheraton Fallsview and the Crowne Plaza are the only Fallsview Hotels that offer balconies with a view of Niagara Falls. Be sure to look closely at the room description to make absolutely sure you are reserving a suite with a balcony. Many rooms are advertised as having balconies yet they only have a narrow door that opens to the outside. You cannot actually sit outside. The Crowne Plaza has a limited number of balcony suites and again, be sure to double check to make sure you are getting the room type you desire.
Q: Will hotel rates go down as my travel dates get closer?
A: It’s just the opposite. As hotels get closer to full occupancy for a given date they will raise their rates. It’s best to book early for the prime tourist season months of June, July and August.
Q: When will my credit card be charged?
A: Hotels do not charge you the full amount until checkout. A small deposit is usually placed on your card at check-in. Deposits may be required for New Year’s Eve and major holidays.
Q: What happens after I submit the information for a reservation?
A: Upon completion of your reservation you will be provided with a confirmation number. Please write this number down! It will be necessary for correspondence with the hotel to confirm, change or cancel your reservation. Many hotels have a restriction where you must cancel more than 48 hours in advance to avoid a cancellation fee. If you do not cancel outside this 48 hour window expect to be charged the full amount for your stay.
Q: What if I need to confirm, change or cancel my reservation?
A: Contact the hotel directly by phone or e-mail. Be sure to write down your confirmation number!
Q: I’ve heard about bed bugs in Niagara Falls hotels. Is this true?
A: Very rarely there have been confirmed cases of bed bugs. Travelers from Asia occasionally carry these critters on their luggage. No hotel owner wants a reputation for this type of problem and it’s always rectified immediately. If you are concerned, place your luggage in the bathtub upon arrival and inspect the seams of the mattress as this is where they are usually found. 99.99 percent of the time you will find nothing but it doesn’t hurt to check!
Q: How much should I expect to spend for tips?
A: The normal amounts for tipping are as follows: Valets-$5.00-$10.00 when dropping off or picking up your car. Bellhops-$10.00 plus one dollar for each bag. Doorman for hailing a taxi-$5.00. Housekeeping- $5.00-$7.00 per night. Wait staff-15-20% of bill. Tips at restaurants is dependent on the quality of food and service. A good tour guide usually receives 20% of the cost of the tour. These are rough guidelines only. Leave a tip which you feel is adequate for the level of service you receive.
Q: Is it safe to book online through this website and how do your prices compare with others?
A: We have processed thousands of reservations during the past twenty five years without a single security lapse. Our primary hotel reservation portal is Booking.com. The rates on this website are usually $1.00 – $3.00 more per day. If you reserve through our links you are helping to support a small business.
When booking a Fallsview room be aware that a “river view” or “partial view” is misleading and not what you want.
Always check to see if all taxes are included with your stay- often the 3% destination & marketing fees are not included.
