My entire family went to Niagara falls for the first time in august and we chose this hotel. It is not the closest to the falls the Comfort Inn is. This hotel is about 3 blocks from the falls so the walk is not bad at all.

The rooms were ok, just your basic 2 double beds and a bathroom. The hotel is pretty old but every thing was clean. The breakfast room was small, like everyone else said. I brought my tray down from the room and we ate in our room. The pool was very strange,it is inside and it was so cloudy that it looks like there is blue dye in it. There is also a sauna by the pool that was ok too. Way to hot for me.

Its was an ok place to stay but it could use some updating. The Canadian side was much nicer then the US. We went to the Skylon tower and we ate in the revolving dining room. It was quite pricey but the view is worth it.

You spend most of the time at the falls, so its an ok place to sleep and grab a quick breakfast.

Most of the reviewers have already summed up the problems at this hotel. Here are few.

1. Smells funny. (May be because I was on a smoking floor)
2. People were smoking in the corridors. It looked kind of shady.
3. Poor lighting, very old fixtures. Creaky elevator.
4. Found a pair of socks in one drawer and half used Match Box near the bed. Room was spacious but not very clean.

I thought Howard Johnson will be better than motels buit it is among worst of them.

Like most of the motels on the American side of the Falls, this one is at least 25 years old and shows it. Rooms and decor are tired. Our room had no plug in the bath, chipped tiles, and smelled funny. Really, the only answer would be to refurbish and better still might be to demolish and build something attractive. Same goes for all the others in this area of town. Stay further out, say in one of the villages 15 miles out, if you are just visiting the Falls.

We stayed at the Howard Johnson at Niagara Falls for two nights in September 2008. Check-in was quick and easy. We stayed in Room 411. Our room was very large with comfortable bed but the décor was a bit tired. The bathroom was clean but they did not provide a spare toilet roll, which seemed rather mean. The room had the usual facilities such as: air conditioning, TV, coffee maker, fridge, microwave, iron and ironing board, hairdryer and room safe. The hotel had laundry facilities, which guests could use. Breakfast was included but offered a poor selection of food with no healthy options. They had only plastic cutlery and plastic plates and bowels. The dining area was tiny and we had to take our food back to our room, as there was nowhere to sit. They had a pool and sauna but we did not try them. It is not a smart hotel but was cheap and comfortable and a very good location for sightseeing and very close to the state park and the falls – walkable. Right next to the hotel there was a heli-pad where you could take a helicopter ride over the falls. Also, you could book sightseeing tours from the hotel front desk. The hotel was located in a quiet area. Car parking was free. Check-out was quick and easy.
