Top Waterfront Hotel Reviews

Garden Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The check-in staff are very welcoming very professional and helpful. This hotel is a very nice place to stay. The chandelier in the lobby is very impressive and the breakfast is also good."

Wingate By Wyndham Niagara Falls

10/10 Excellent

"The room they put us in initially was missing the backlit mirror in the bathroom with exposed hot wires and ballast, not safe for children. When we brought it to the attention of the front desk they cannibalized the mirror from the next room for us. Modern, clean, nice indoor pool, fun staff, perfect location for wheelchair/walking to Falls adventures."
