Budget Motel close to the sights

Checkin and staff were great, very helpful to somene who has never been to Niagra Falls. Room was clean but very dated, needs updating, especially the bathroom. The lawn and river view are great, firepit and very distant view of falls fireworks at night.

The staff was super friendly and the rooms were clean. The property is super old and a little run down. There was no coffee pot, a lot of spiders in my sisters room and my room smelled like bug spray. It was convenient to the falls and parking was nice.

Owner was very helpful and directed us how best to see the Falls. Property backs up to the river which is nice. However, the rooms were very run down. The good part was that the sheets, pillowcases, and towels were very clean and the beds were comfortable so we had a good sleep. But everything else is aged, low quality furniture/furnishings/appliances/etc. It was fine for a night and saved us some money. Also the parking is in front of the room, which is good.

The room was in bad condition. There was water on the floor behind the toilet and the bathroom smelled like sewer gas. The air conditioning wasn't working well. The refrigerator was filthy - and had what looked like black mold. There were also black spots on the wall that looked like mold.

Only saving grace of the property is their host. The property is extremely run down and need major upgrade in room condition, bathroom and outside as well. Did not expect a lot but my recommendation is to spend $50-100 more and stay somewhere else.

We stayed at this hotel for the proximity to Niagra Falls. The rooms are a little dated, but that is also part of the charm. We didn't like the small of the soap in the shower, but we had our own, so not really a problem. The bathroom door didn't close tightly, but I was traveling with my daughter, so it wasn't the end of the world. The owner, Kathy, is a treat! I told her our travel plans and she had great recommendations for the rest of our journey. She gave great directions and information regarding the area and Niagra Falls. The view in the back, on the river, is beautiful. The property IS on the water, so the spiders might come out at night, but they prefer the outdoors. Inside, the room was very clean and bug/spider-free.

Great Place

This is an absolutely adorable place to stay. Old retro style, private, comfortable, and safe. Nice pool and access to the yard, grills, and fire pit. Had a nice cookout while there. River running thru out back. So relaxing.
