It's Time that you visited the splendor of Niagara!

Honeymoon, Romantic, Senior  and Family Vacations

•  Plan ahead and once you arrive at your Motel or Hotel.

• Consult the staff there for the best recommendations for dining and attractions.

• The many attraction & food discount coupons that are available at the Hotel/Motel front desk will save you money.

• Book your rooms online directly with the Motel/Hotel and save by not paying a third party commission. 

• Avoid so called online travel discount web sites to obtain your rooms & travel . They make a lot of money on the rooms and other options they offer. Many Hotels and motels list with them for extra business. Why wouldn't they. You pay the travel site and they pay the Hotel/Motel a lot less. It only makes sense to book your rooms, rentals, travel and attraction tickets direct when possible. You then are not paying third party commissions and actually in many cases receiving less value for your dollar. Always Use the actual Motel/Hotel's web site reservation page for best pricing.

In all my years of being in Niagara Falls Motel and hotels offices. I have listened to potential guests calling or coming into the Motel/hotel offices and just asking "How Much are your rooms". They are quoted a price and leave or call at the next property. I seldom hear "What do you offer for that price" or "Can I see a room". If you visit Niagara do you really want to seek out the "cheapest room" and then wine to us here about the quality of the accommodations you choose?  Can you really be happy with your visit to Niagara if you chose the cheapest and most likely poorest quality accommodations. Stop asking just for the cheapest rooms and start looking for accommodations that you can make your visit a great experience. Staying close to the actual falls or Clifton Hill area WILL cost you more than staying in the outlying area. A room with a view of the falls will cost more than a city view room. Niagara Falls rooms still remain at prices lower than other locations in Canada or Ontario. Look for the value, quality, features  and cleanliness of your accommodations  not just the price. Look to the Properties features and not just the price. then you will be able to say, " I really enjoyed my visit to Niagara Falls "!  As a General rule, The closer to the "falls", the more you will pay for everything including rooms, food, gifts, souvenirs , etc. That being said, I will say that rooms near the falls are still available at very reasonable rates this year.
