We were allowed early check in as they had availability, this was a lovely gesture from the hotel. The room was worth every penny. The view...you need to experience this view, you can't pick and choose the weather, but if you get a clear day, I can imagine it's quite the spectacle. I mean, we had fog and it still wasn't ruined. The room was clean and had everything you'd need for a stay. It was on the small side, but we knew this when booking, I'd call it cosy, it's a piece of Niagara nostalgia! All staff were friendly and there was always a staff member on hand. We are at ihop, which was good, you get coupons from the hotel at various places around Niagara, it's not cheap to eat at most places. If you're here on a budget, you'd need to eat at one of the few chain restaurants like Tim Hortons or Burger King.
