The hotel was located off the Niagara River, which was appealing, but it had dark lighting that made for a depressing stay. Niagara is a slow, sleepy town. The main attraction is the falls and the state park, but beyond that, the city offers little to hold your interest. The hotel, unfortunately, contributed to this dull atmosphere. The rooms were clean, but not as spacious as I expected for the price paid. No microwave, and small bathroom with a sink outside the bathroom. I also had to pay $10 for parking in a lot with no security or barriers, which was unacceptable. Their "nickel-and-dime" approach only added to the disappointing experience. All I wanted was to get some sleep and leave as quickly as possible. The hotel needs a serious upgrade. If you pay over $300 per night, you expect to feel like you received your money's worth. I did not get my money's worth and won't return to this joint of the river.
