Rising in the Skyline Niagara is the newest, the Hilton Niagara Falls. While it is the turn of Canada’s tallest hotel, it competes with the rest of the year with a spectacular view of the falls. Saw that my wife and I had to test this new gigantic hotel, we decided on a romantic Niagara Falls Hotel package available on their website. We have a lot of $ 139.00 per night for a two-bedroom suite with fireplace and Jacuzzi Fallsview. Remember that it was late October calm so and price movement.
Having done some research, I notice that the hotel valet parking underground offers only. The cost for this service was $ 20.00 per night, so we decided to make it big in the parking lot for $ 5 Casino (including seasonal price) that allow us to access the interior of the Fallsview Casino in the Park Hilton Hotel. Even in summer, I suggest trying to find cheaper parking spots open on the hill from the Hilton to save money, especially if you do not plan to ask a lot. A shuttle service is available if you have a free ticket at the information booth, and you will get to major attractions such as falls or even to Clifton Hill.
The Fallsview room was clean and new. The Jacuzzi is big enough to open two people comfortably, and the doors to the rest of the room. And I must say, with a breathtaking view of the falls to the ground 30 seconds has experienced. But there was one thing … The view was hampered by the large Fallsview Casino Resort directly across the street. I mean, the American Falls can be seen clearly, but the Horseshoe Falls were a little harder to see, especially in the north tower. In the south tower of the Horseshoe Falls are visible, but not all of falls. Through the night, the big glowing “Casino” sign lights up your room unless you close blinds. Other than that the hotel was very friendly and service was excellent.
