    We got the family room which was a 3 bedroom 1.5 bath with a full kitchen. It did what we needed beds were good to us. Firm mattresses. Room 22 was good to us. Please be mindful that you will need to walk up steps to get into that family unit.

    We stayed one night while vising the falls on our way to another destination. The hotel was very basic. The room was okay but not really meant for travelers. Most of the people here clearly lived in the hotel. The room had a full size refrigerator more like an apartment. The facility was pretty run down but we didn't have any real issues.

    The couple managing this property are most welcoming, cheerful and helpful and deserve a lot of credit for the job they are facing. The property while kept clean is old and seriously care-worn. The pictures used to promote it on-line are probably about 50 or more years old and it will take a lot of time, energy and money to restore it to what it once was. The bed was very comfortable which made it a more than satisfactory place to lay one’s head down. It is not, however a place to spend time other than sleeping. With this understanding I would hope that customers will support the owners as they undertake a Herculean task

    I've stayed in this place before under the former management. Dan and Beckie took it over earlier this year, and they have made many updates. The room that we stayed in looked like it had been redone since my last stay. It was great! Clean, coffee, great house keeping. The WiFi was great! It's close to the Falls, without the price associated with the Falls. The staff was positively responsive to all of my queries. Everything worked as it should. Tip here, call direct for a price because they pay Hotells.com a percentage and will give you a better price than you can get online! Great, clean, and near the falls. I'll be back!!!

    The room needed a good cleaning, especially the bathroom. The floor was filthy. The mattress cover and pad did not fit the bed and the sheets looked a little thread bare. Pillows had a musty smell. It was a hot weekend and the AC ran all the time, so that might have contributed to the musty smell. Overall, I'd say that the place needs a good overhaul. ( I did stay there 4 years ago and it was in better shape)

    A family member and I had both booked rooms here so we could be together. Imagine our surprise when we found out that they had overbooked and canceled one of the reservations. They actually bumped us even though the room had been paid for and reservation/confirmation numbers given. We were FURIOUS that 1. they have a strict cancellation policy- apparently the customer can’t cancel, but it’s OK if the hotel does???! They left us high and dry on a busy summer Saturday with no place to go and virtually no apology. Naturally every hotel in the area was blocked also, so we spent a good chunk of the day trying to find new lodging. Definitely put a damper on our vacation. Not to mention place is seriously run down. Zero stars.

The room was very clean and quiet, although the bathroom was a bit run down - cracked wall and floor tile, and the showerhead dripped continuously. I'm sorry not to have had the opportunity to discuss all this with the two gentlemen who had been there at check-in, but I departed before the office opened in the morning. The room was very comfortable and well-priced.

    We were really disappointed with our stay. Found about five spiders in the stay of two nights and one beatle on the bed. hotel is filled with spider webs hanging down the roof, on the fences, above your door. We had a web above our door we went and complained said they’d take it down when we got back it was still there. Fruit was provided for free, it was a nice gesture but honestly it didn’t look good, my neighbors fruit even had white stuff on it. Overall, if you’re not someone who likes bugs do not stay here because you are sure to find a plethora of it.

    It's an older motel, with everything on the older side -- the building, the furniture, and the area outside, but if you are going to spend only a night or two, are happy with having just basics (on the older side), and don't want to pay a lot, it works. The guys in the office were super friendly and helpful. I had requested a roll-away bed during reservation, and it was waiting for us in the room. The motel is in the area that is removed from the glamour of downtown, and it kind of looks not particularly attractive, but it is quiet and feels safe, and the people in the office said it was safe to walk there in the evening (which we did). There are a few restaurants within a block or two. We ate in two of them and were quite happy with the meals. If you like walking, it takes about 40 - 45 minutes to walk to the Horseshoe Falls. It is a nice walk along the Niagara River. There is a city bus stop (not wego bus) about 30 second walk away from the hotel. There is also a parking lot maybe 3 min drive (or 10-15 min walk) away from which you can take wego bus to the Falls. There is also a grocery store a few blocks away. When I first saw the motel, I felt disappointed, but now I am glad we stayed there because we ended up seeing places we wouldn't have seen otherwise, like Dufferin Islands Nature Area (a really really pretty park). We also ended up talking to some really cool people at the hotel (the guys in the office, family from Germany, and some musicians who sang right outside!)

    Awful, the rooms were filthy, during my stay so far the room has not been cleaned nor the beds made. Reception is hardly open. Apparently my room only has 1 Key so my room cannot be serviced. Plaster is hanging off the ceiling. damp patches on ceiling. walls filthy and scuffed. Coffee maker next to to toilet within bathroom, hardly health and safe compliant or hygenic. Complete lack of assistance from staff. If you prepay your bill I would advise you to check it carefully as I was way overcharged and had to wait for it to be refunded. My advice is to avoid this place at all costs.
