Quality Hotel & Suites At The Falls

8/10 Good
"Great location only a few minutes walk to the falls loved the hot tub and pool but the noise of the dehumidifying system was very loud also did not like that the hot tub/pool room was right next to the bar it's a little uncomfortable with men drinking and young teenage daughter in a bathing suit or any person even my self felt uncomfortable with drunk men looking at us would be better if windows were tinted or something the breakfast was okay parking lot small but was lucky enough to get a space overall hotel had everything I was looking for for me and my family's trip to Niagara falls was over all happy with the price and everything that was included"
