Less than OK place to stay very close to Rainbow bridge.
Economic place to just spend one night very close to Rainbow bridge if you want to ignore the cleanliness of the hotel and room. Continental breakfast was not fresh. Staff attitude OK.

Fine visit
We found the Howard Johnsons hotel certainly adequate, comfortable enough and clean. It was not a luxury hotel by any means, but it did the trick and was a good value. Nice that it was pet friendly!! And the location so near the Falls allowed us to go for a morning run with an amazing view! We would consider using HJ's again.

Don't think you're going to get special treatment because it's low season....
Hotel was easy to find. Parking lot was completely empty when I went to check-in. Front desk person didn't even look up/notice when i came in. I tried to switch from 2 double beds to king size, exept that there would have been an upgrade fee. Let me just say that i've been to much busier hotels that were much more desperate to give upgrades or to be accomodating. The room was okay, clean enough, enough clean towels, but the view consisted of a parking lot. Usually, i don't care about the views, but this definitely made me feel put out. I left at 4am in the morning to drive my friend to the airport. There were maybe six more cars in the parking lot, clearly not at capacity. I did not make the 20 mile return trip from the airport for the complimentary breakfast, as it wouldn't have been worth it.

Shopping tip:
Short walk from hotel
For collectors of Starbucks mugs, the Starbucks on the American side by the Seneca casino only has the collectible city mugs from the spring until September. This was a great disappointment for my boo, as he had to settle for the last "niagara falls" plastic tumbler. If you are going to stay on the American side of the falls bring your passport so you can go to the side of the falls that has it together, in terms of attractions and starbucks mugs. We made the mistake of not bringing our passports.
