Very
nice decorations. Looks kind of shabby from the outside, but the rooms are
pretty and clean when you get inside. Staff very friendly. Would stay
there again. Great for a short weekend trip for couples. Pool was
small-not good for children. About a 5-6 minute walk to the casino--about
9 or 10 to the falls.
We've
been to Niagara Falls many time. We saw an ad for this Days Inn that said
"new hotel". Well, it's not, it's just a new name and a cheap
renovation of an old motel. And it said close to the Falls. It's not, it
was a long walk. And it said close to the casino. Not too bad for that.
Also said it included a hot breakfast, and that part was true, and the
breakfast was excellent. It was next door at Perkins. I
entered this web sight to see the review my son had written after our most
recent stay at the Vacation Inn. I was so upset with one of the reviews I
read that I decided I had to write my own. We vacation in Niagara 1-2
times a year and had stayed at several well known hotels before we noticed
the Vacation Inn's ad in our AAA magazine. The price looked great and we
decided to give it a try. We have never regreted our decision and here we
are over five years and numerous visits later always looking forward to
our next stay.

The staff was very friendly as soon as we walked in and, trust me after the long journey driving there and breaking down on the throughway to boot, it was very hard to even crack a smile however, they managed and we felt welcome right away. The front desk staff and restaurant staff were extremely pleasant through- out the remainder of our stay. The rooms are simple but decent. I would have been a little happier if they had some decent pillows and the maid staff cleaned the room before 3pm everyday but, for the price and the free meals with the package and of course the excellent service i would recommend this hotel. with the money we saved on accomodations and breakfast/dinners we also did the whirlpool jet boat ride which was absolutely fantastic. All things considered this vaction was top notch. I thought the inn was overall a good inn. There was no elevator, you had to pay for the ice, and there was only enough towels for 2 people to shower once a day. I think there is room for improvement. In relation to the falls it's 2 blocks away, and the cost was quite reasonable. There was a tram at a casion just 2 blocks away that took you into the tourist section (and the tram was free), that was a great thing. I just think they shouldn't charge you for ice, that there should be more towels (some of us like to take 2 showers if we sweat during the day) and the elevator would be nice if you have the 2nd or 3rd floor (hard to lug up suitcases to these floors).
Rooms are very small, have no view out the front. Window overlooks the back door steps of the convention center. Went down three times for ice, both evening and early morning and there was no ice. Was going to grab a cup of coffee at 5:30 in the morning and was told by the desk clerk that it was from midnight, the night before, and fresh coffee would not be available until 6:00 AM. A large, noisy window air-conditioner installed in the wall provides some cooling. Building is very old. Sheets are stiff like paper and "crinkle" as you move in the bed.
Great location and service, we got a packaged deal for $225.00 (US) and for that we got the room for 2 nights, breakfast for 2 days and dinner for 1 night. And it was very tasty. The hotel staff was friendly. The pool was small, but we walked at night to Clifton Hills, which was right down the street as well as maid of the midst. I would absolutely stay at this hotel again!
What a pleasure it was to stay here. We were somewhat leery because of the low cost and lack of reviews on this Inn, but pleasantly surprised to find that it is a well kept, clean, safe, smoke free, and friendly environment located in the Fallsview district. We were in walking distance of most major attractions. Parking was free. This is a low rise hotel and you can not see the falls from your room as in the much higher priced hotels. So, walk to the falls and bring your own iron. The money you save is well worth it. The room comes with 1 free dinner and 2 breakfasts for two. The restaurant is right next door. The food was good and the restaurant clean and friendly. We will definately stay there again.
