Great View

The Oaks Hotel located in Niagara Falls Ontario is in a great location. Situated near the falls and next to the Casino. The view we had from the 6th floor was decent. If you are able to get a room located on a higher floor it should be better. This hotel is one of the older hotels, as such it did show a bit of wear and tear in the room. The tub/shower is also on the small side and has a tendency to trap the steam while showering. It is new though and looked clean. The pool is on the small side and the fitness room is spartan at best. The staff was very helpful and offered many hints to deals(food/restaurants) offered in the area. One of the best features was the parking options. We were charged a flat fee for our entire stay and were able to park in one of two available lots adjacent to the hotel. In closing, I would recomend this hotel at the going rate. I would like to see a little updating of the rooms, in particular the lighting. Other than that it was a good vacation for us.

Close to all the action

The Oaks Hotel was a comfortable and great location that overlooked the Niagra Falls. The water pressure was great in the shower and the rooms air condtioning was great. The pool was a little small and they need to add more work out equiptment.

Very family friendly

The Oakes Hotel Overlooking the Falls was very nice. When we got there the employees at the doors and front desk were very nice, they offered a room upgrade which was a suite on the falls side which we gladly took! It was on the second floor and the trees were in the way so we did not have the view which we thought we were going to have. So if you stay on the falls side make sure you get a room that is at least on the fourth or fifth floor. The suite did not have a refrigerator or microwave, the food in Canada is much more expensive than here and it would have been nice to keep leftovers and eat them later which of course with no refrigerator or microwave we could not do. The suite was very roomy, king size bed with a 3 person table and a sitting room off of the bedroom.

Time-saving tip: Short walk from hotel

When you are wanting to go down to the Falls make sure you take the Railway to the Falls located around the back and across the street from the hotel. after you get down there and you are wanting to go to any other attractions you will want to take the people movers buses or some other transportation.

Great view of Applebee's parking lot

The room was an experienced room that had been updated. The management has a staff that worked well keeping the room up daily. The locale was withing walking distance of the Falls and numerous attractions in the Niagra area.

Decent

I had no major complaints.. One thing you should be aware of is their Exercise and fitness facilities are very minimal... Just enough to say that they have exercise and fitness facilities... but then, its a hotel, not Ballys. One other slightly annoying issue is that you can only access wifi from the lobby. You can actually see the network from your room, but its password protected there. No one seems to know the password, when you ask for it... They only say 'come down to the lobby'. Not sure if that is so they can monitor your usage, but it was a little strange. Other than that, the hotel is in a great central location, near everything you might want to see in Niagara Falls.

Friendly People

I was stay at yakuzi suit in a 20th floor of these hotel. The rom was spacious and nice decorated. The yakuzi was super great. I'm very disappointed with the bed mattress, was hard to sleep 7 nights there.I wake up every morning and seems that i was fighting all the night with Steve segal, and he broke every part of my body. The last night there's was a lot of strong wings and the complete room was shaking like a swing. I request a change for a lower floor room and they give me a room in the second (2nd) floor. I move at 10:30 pm of my last night stay. I was wake up at 4:00 am for a some one who was knocking my room door by mistake. And again at 6:00 am. No freezing machine in rooms, if you are in a 20 floor you need to get down to find a ice machine.I found one in a 6th floor. No internet in rooms. When snow the parking ramp turns dangerous with the ice, specially for some one who live in miami and never drive in the snow conditions before. I have a bad memories there. Pros: Great view,in front of the falls. Free coffee provided by applebee's at lobby. Under ceiling way to applebee's restaurant so you do not have to wear coat to get there. I do not visit the indoor pool, but is there. The oakes hotel is near the casino hotel too. Overal was a good pick

Great location

Low price for a great location, in spite of some little details as , no internet in our room , or non coffe maker in room. I think was very good, because in the falls view side, the scenary was wonderful.

Outstanding vacation !

The hotel had one of the best views of Niagara Falls. The hotel is also in close proximity to restaurants and casinos. We only stayed one night but would consider returning tho this hotel.
