Howard Johnson Closest to the Falls and Casino

Need Improvement but overall ok

The hotel is very conveniently located. It needs improvement, he carpets could use a good cleaning, etc. It was good enough for the money

Great location for the money

The hotel was way better than I've expected for that price . The room was spacious and with lots of amenities. Parking and breakfast were included in the room price. Plus you cannot beat the location : 10 min walk to the Niagara State Park.

HORRIBLE STAY

This hotel needs a lot of improvement. Bedroom and bathroom were not cleaned. In addition my husband and I got bug bites at this place. Will never stay there again.

Spacious Room

This was a very spacious room, and within walking distance to the falls. It's an older hotel, but the rooms were big and clean. Plus, pets are welcome and front desk was very friendly. The only thing we had a problem with was breakfast. It was all gone when we got there. Not even a muffin or doughnut.

Perfect hotel for family vacation

After reading the reviews for many Niagara hotels I was worried about staying at any of them, so I chose this hotel because of the price and location. The hotel exceeded my expectations by far. The staff was courteous and friendly and quickly responded to any requests and answered any questions. The room was clean and comfortable and much larger than I expected. If you want to stay within walking distance of the falls and restaurants this is a great hotel. It's not a luxury hotel by any means, but if you just need a place to sleep and shower this hotel will be perfect. The kids enjoyed the pool and game room. There's a continental breakfast every morning with coffee, tea, juice, fruit, cereal and assorted pastries. Across the street there is a gas station and an ice cream shop. The falls are a very short walk and parking is free. They do allow pets (negative for some, positive for others) and if you're sensitive to smoke make sure you get a non-smoking room.

Motel Standards with 2 Star Price

It is very very ordinary hotel. Price is not worth for this hotel. Faded doors, low standard look and feel. Receiption is too poor and below the minimum standards. After whole day sightseeting we went to the hotel and found that one of the bulbs were not working. when i contancted the receiptionist, she asked me to come down to the receiption for the bulb and replace it on my own. This is one of the many examples. Women in the receiption were too rough. Only one guy in the morning shift was nice to talk. Not worth to stay with the price offered.

Weak breakfast choices.

It was an O.K. stay but the breakfast choices were meager.

Dirtiest Howard Johnson I ever stayed at

The place lacks quality management. The room was not properly cleaned daily, especially the bathroom. When we arrived, there were layers of dust on the carpeting all around the room. The windows were missing bug screens. The lampshades were full of stains. The elevater had garbage in it. The pool room was filthy, full of cobwebs. The pool water needed chlorine, it was like dirty bath water. Wouldnt recommend it.

good hotels except surroundings

Room is clean and good, with a fridge and microwave. My 5 years old daughter could go to falls by walk. There is a inside pool but no wash machine. We did not rent a car, it was hard to find any restaurant by walk. There are no restaurant or supermarket around the hotel. Nearest is Indians restaurant or Dennys.

location location location

Did not have high expectations, so we were not disappointed. Hotel itself was dated, but fairly well maintained. No bad smells, even though we could only book a smoking room (we do not smoke). Room itself was clean. Spider webs all over the windows. Continental breakfast somewhat lacking, but this is typical of any hotel, although seating is limited, especially on Sunday morning. Pool was a nice inclusion for the kids. The biggest advantage was the location: 10 minute walk to the American Falls. We never felt unsafe walking from the park to the hotel at night. A word of caution: before buying a tour package in the hotel lobby (around $70) check the packages in the Falls park visitors center, which can be purchased for around $33 and include most of the good sites on the American side. We would definitely stay here again.

Not so good

There was mold in the bathroom, the sheets and blankets were stained, and it smelled pretty rancid. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone and will not visit it again.
