Arrive the Night Before

I highly recommend arriving in Niagara Falls the day before you start exploring. It gives you time to settle in, a night to rest, and start your Niagara Falls journey fresh!

Plus, following this itinerary doesn't leave you with much extra time.

Hilton Niagara Falls/Fallsview Hotel & Suites
@GuidetoOntario
The Hilton is a very popular choice for staying in the heart of Niagara Falls. It is in a central location and is within walking distance to the Falls, restaurants and public transit. The hotel quality is superb and has some fantastic views of the Falls.

Niagara Falls Marriott Fallsview Hotel & Spa
@GuidetoOntario
The Marriott Fallsview is also a great quality hotel in the heart of the tourism centre in Niagara Falls. Overlooking the Falls, this hotel has amazing views and is in walking distance of many great restaurants. It differs from the Marriott on the Falls in that Marriott Fallsview has an attached spa to elevate your stay with some self-care.

Niagara Grandview Boutique Hotel
@GuidetoOntario
This historic hotel is in a quieter part of town but still close to the main attractions. It's modern rooms have kept their character and are comfortable. Some rooms have balcony views over the Niagara Gorge (not the Falls). The service is great and it's the place I recommend for those who want a local, authentic experience steeped in history.
