Nice staff, helpful at all times (even 2 am). The pool isn't too deep though... only 5'5'. There is also a baby pool, which makes this hotel a perfect place 2 stay with family. Most rooms have 2 twin beds, which gives you an opprotunity to take a pet, your kid, or just to kick your husband on that extra bed if he gets drunk and starts snoring ;) . Other motels and hotels that are few meteres closer to the falls charge much more for nothing. This place is great, just as I expected it to be. It looks both nice on the inside, as well as on the outside.
My husband and I stayed at The Diplomat Inn this summer. We had a Jacuzzi Suite which we both enjoyed immensely. While it is true, this hotel has no amenities it was well worth the price we paid. We decided to stay here because we wanted to have more money to spend enjoying our stay in Niagara Falls. This hotel is a short drive to the Lundy's Lane tourist area which I HIGHLY recommend. We had an excellent breakfast for 2 for under $15. If you are looking for luxury and abundance then don't stay here.
I would strongly recommend to anyone to stay away for this establishment. They are extremely unprofessional and run a rundown operation. I called in advance to make reservations and when we arrived at 3pm there was on one there the office was locked and the parking lot was empty. After finding an open door we entered the office and waited for a half hour. No none came. We tried calling them so they would not bill our credit card and the phone did not eve have an answering machine. I believe they are using a cell phone as their main phone. Later in the evening after staying at the Comfort Inn in the middle of Clifton Hill which I would strongly recommend we wound up walking by the Inn while walking around and saw there was on one there and no lights were on. Not even the Sign! This place is very odd and I would not trust this mom and pop operation (at best) any form of Identification. I believe they will rip you off and do god knows what with your credit card and personal information!
It was very pleasant. The room was very clean and spacious. They provided all amenities that any small hotels, motels should do, like clean towels, tv, hair-dryer, and even a crib for a baby. :) The location is just great. It sits in the middle of the falls and Clifton Hills. You can walk to the falls, casinos and tourist areas but the hotel location itself is quiet and not crowded. The staff there are very nice as well. How nice? They even drove us to the VIA rail station instead of letting us take the taxi. Highly recommended!
Before
going to Niagara Falls, I made a reservation for a 4-night package at the
Diplomat Inn. The room was very clean. The lady at the reception provided
us with a fridge. The hotel is very close to the major attractions and
their people were very courteous. I highly recommend the Diplomat
(excellent rates for such a location).
Our check in was hassle free, and very nice. Our room was CLEAN. I had remembered reading the reviews here, and purposely looked for mouse droppings, bugs, etc. NONE!!!!!!!! No, this is no Hilton, but when you are looking for a clean room, and friendly service... at a VERY reasonable price (because 1. You are going to be spending MUCH more time out and about. and 2. Because you'd rather save some money so you have the money to do the various things there are to do at Niagara Falls) then this is the place. The water in the bathroom was hot, and the pressure was excellent. Lots of clean towels. And I was very glad to see a hair dryer (I forgot mine). The TV worked just fine. (heh, we only spent about 20 mins watching it). And the A/C worked great!! The location is good. We walked everywhere. Fallsview Casino is very close, and there are many restaurants nearby. Clifton Hill is close also. (though, I still can't stand that hill on clifton hill. lol)
I
came up to Niagara Falls from Texas and came upon this place. I found my
hotel room to be very large and very clean. The staff was also extremely
nice to my family and me and very helpful as well. I do not know what that
other guy was talking about but I am telling all my friends to stay here
if they go up to Niagara Falls. This is a great place to stay for
everyone, not just for families. If you are looking for a place to stay in
Niagara Falls, this is definetly the place! |
A
smiling FRIENDLY fun Joanne greeted me at the front desk.
We
needed a hotel for an overnight stay in Niagara. Found good reviews for
the Diplomat and great price. The hotel was clean, tidy, the beds were
comfortable. Everything worked. There were no luxuries, like fancy
shampoos, in room coffee makers etc., but everything you needed was there.
There was a coffee machine in the lobby. The staff was very pleasant and
we were made to feel at home.
The
best thing the Diplomat has going for it is its proximity to the Falls. It
is a modern building with clean rooms. There is no elevator in the hotel,
so request ground floor if stairs/carrying your baggage is an issue. Nice
big TV with remote. Only had 7 or 8 channels, and no free movies as
advertised as their satelite was "knocked out a few days before"
our arrival and the guy had no idea when it might be fixed. Ice machine is
located on the second floor. Our "non smoking room" had a slight
scent of smoke, and I found a clean ash tray in the drawer. Free parking.
Kids loved their pool which is right next to the sidewalk/street. I booked
on the internet. The rate was $59. I called the hotel directly, the rate
was $69. When we arrived, the rate on the light up sign outside was $49!
If
you are looking for a no frills, inexpensive hotel (if you have a
reservation), then this is the place for you. It is clean, safe,
affordable, and above all convenient to everything near the falls. We made
our reservations through Niagarainfo.com.
