Room with a Killer View: The Real View of Niagara Falls

Where: 6700 Fallsview Boulevard, Fallsview, ON, Canada, L2G3W6

We are suckers for a room with a killer view.  We find that we are even more likely to forgive some minor hotel inconveniences if we can stare out the window at something pretty--yeah we are that shallow. Let's help out our fellow hotel mavens by uploading rooms with killer views to the HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool, or by sending the photo along to us. We will feature our favorites in this space from time to time. Remember to tell us the name of the hotel and the room number of the hot view.

While Marriott likes to photoshop in their view of the Niagara Falls, reviews of the Embassy Suites give us a better idea of what to expect of your room view.

TripAdvisor member K8Brit took the picture and gives a pretty detailed review of the place which is a standard Embassy Suites. However, not all room views are equal:

After checking out the room, we called down and took them up on the upgrade, well worth the difference in price. In our original room, you had a view of the building next door, with a bit of the top of the Horseshoe Falls behind the roof below you, if you stood in the corner of the window. Our second room had a wonderfully complete clear view of both the falls, which we could even see from the bathroom.

Niagara Hotel Kicks Family To The Curb At 1am, Allegedly

Where: 6700 Fallsview Boulevard, Niagara Falls, ON, Canada, L2G3W6

[Editor's Note: When are hotels gonna learn *not* to do this? Haven't they ever heard this story? One families series of unfortunate events explained below...]

Yesterday my family and I drove from Virginia to the Embassy Suites in Niagara Falls. This was their first trip to see the falls, and had beenexcited all day. We arrived late at night, but not only had a credit card confirmed reservation, we had prepaid for the room and had an Embassy Suites confirmation code.

The hotel refused to honor my prepaid reservation, having already sold my room to an earlier arrival. At first, I was told that there was no reservation in the system, even though I had a paper copy of the confirmation. Then I was told that the reservation was to start the following day, again even though I had a paper copy of the confirmation with Check-In and Check-Out dates on it. I was told by the Night Auditor to accept their booking me at another hotel or they would cancel my reservation for the remaining nights and I'd have to find my own hotel.

When I asked for a phone to call my travel company, the night auditor refused to provide one. When I insisted on getting what I had already paid for, she had security put me and my family out on the street (at 1 in the morning!) with the threat that they would call the police if we didn't leave.
