"Location is unbeatable, probably the closest hotel backing onto the Incline Railway. With a Niagara Parks pass, you get unlimited rides right down to the Niagara Falls walking path/platform level. That convenience is huge. However, they know it and gouge accordingly: $50/night parking + $16 resort fee on top of room rate, which is outrageous when nearby lots go for $20–30. The hotel itself is very dated: old-hotel smell, tired decor, no modernization. They're coasting on location alone. The 14th-floor observation deck offers a nice falls view when mist isn't blocking it. Amenities are basic but functional. Free coffee and tea/water only, no breakfast.
At the end of the day, you're paying for extreme convenience at a still-acceptable budget level, otherwise you'd be shelling out far more at the high-end hotels or the casino nearby. That said, if you're willing to walk a bit or catch the very frequent WEGO bus (included with your Niagara Pass), you can find cheaper, better-kept hotels further out.
It's your call: overpay for a dated room and extreme doorstep convenience, or save money and ride the bus like most visitors do on non-peak season."
