Oakes Hotel Overlooking the Falls

Needs inprovement

It was a great room for the money. However the beds were uncomfortable. They still have the old style TV's and they are small. I didn't appreciate paying 15.00 a night for parking and also paying for local calls. We also had to pay for the internet, which is a first for me

Unbeatable Views

We got a queen fallsview room and the view were simply unbeatable. Clean room, decent beds. I found it strange that they did not have any lotion in the bathroom, just shampoo and a soap. Good place for the price. Concierge was not very helpful when asked for dining info.

Great Views

Stayed on the 13th Floor with outstanding view of the falls. Location of hotel is great for walking to see all there is to be seen in town.

Great view

This is our second stay at this hotel. We know how the loacation is great, panolama view from room, and price is reasonable except for paraking fee. The hotel front person was not profesional. We needed to stay more than 20 min for check in.

Great viewing of Falls!

Best view of Niagara Falls from our room!

NOT VERY WELCOMING

Checked in later than expected due to traffic at border. Looking forward to a hot shower and find that although we booked and paid for four adults that we had towels for 2 with 1 mini bar of soap. Called down to the desk and asked for more towels and soap and they just never sent them. Tried to get some hot water and a tea bag and the desk informed me it's coffee or nothing. Gave up and went to bed. Not sure I'd stay there again you are clearly paying for just the view and there is apparently a "no frills" policy in place. There wasn't even a guide to the area and attractions as in most hotel rooms.

Stay here only for the view

This hotel offers splendid views of the American, Bridal Veil, and Canadian Horseshoe Falls. If you are looking for an upscale hotel plush with lots of amenities, then this is not the place for you. I would only recommend this hotel if the view is of utmost importance and all else takes a back seat. The location is perfect for not only the view, but also easy access to all attractions. The railway incline is adjacent to the property with immediate transport down to Falls level. A day pass can be purchased there for a very reasonable price and includes both the railway incline and hop on hop off privileges on the people mover which runs continuously between the attractions.

Below basic expectation

Other than the view, this hotel room was sub-par: Tiny (not small but tiny) bathroom - the sink, counter space, even the commode was small. Very dated decor with drab wallpaper (peeling in areas), drab carpet, and stains on the ceiling from a previous water leak. Curtains were difficult/impossible to get to cover the entire window (my wife likes it very dark to sleep). One of the windows had a crack that had let in moisture making half of the spectacular view much less than spectacular (should have complained to the hotel but chose not to). Some of the mirrors in the "heart shaped tub" area were damaged/cracked. Overall cleanliness was not that great but honestly it could have been that everything was 20 years old.

Great hotel

My husband and I were very pleased with our stay at the Oakes Hotel overlooking the Falls. We had a really good view of the falls. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. the room was clean. We would stay there again.

NOT TO HAPPY

The location of the hotel was the best thing, but over all the hotel looked like a cheap motel in the inside, everything is old and not very good taken care off. I would not advise anyone on staying here, for the price it wasn't worth it.

Needs Improvement

The overall comfort of the hotel felt old and out-dated. Clearly the picture on the web-site depicts the hotel in higher fashion. The hotel room itslef had the same feel as a cheap motel. The T.V. was small, and had terrible reception. The linen seemed old and worn out, definitely could be more modern. The best part of the hotel was the fact that it was close to the new casino. I will never stay at this hotel again.
