We stayed for a weekend in August 2007. I travelled with my husband and 8 year old daughter. We had a fantastic time at the hotel and in Niagara.
We arrived before check-in and were able to leave our bags with the hotel porter, handy as I would not have wanted to drag heavy bags up and down the hills of Niagara. When we got back to check in later that day our bags were delivered to us promptly. When we got to our room we were pleasantly surprised, we had a living area and two bedrooms. And the view well was nothing short of amazing. We were overlooking the Canadian Horseshoe Falls. The view was well worth the money we paid for the room.
We explored Niagara and took a trip on the Maid of the Mist. Now there is an experience not to be missed. It lasts about 20 minutes and costs about £7 for adults and slightly less for children. You get absolutely soaked, but then you are almost underneath the falls! And from here you get another fantastic view.
The tourist area of Niagara is relatively small and I felt my couple of day trip was more than enough. But I would definitely go again.
If you are in the area I would recommend a break to Niagara.
