Embassy Suites Fallsview, Niagara Falls ON - July 1

Rating - 6.224

The staff is very friendly, most are hometown kids, but the place is HUGE.  Be prepared to WAIT A LONG TIME FOR THE ELEVATORS as there are 42 floors.  Also, I head people loosing their minds when they checked in and didn't have a Falls View room......wow....

We were in room 3407 which had a Citi-view....I had called the GMs office to request a larger room since there was 5 of us and they took care of us....this is a GREAT room, lots of space, and it was QUIET.....very nice.

As mentioned, the waits for the elevator are painful.  They do have happy hour, but you will only get your one drink and the wine is horrible....and the area is packed.

We had dinner at the Keg (  ), and they serve breakfast the next morning in the same place.  Again, be prepared to wait for a table if you arrive at the "wrong" time, and the lines for the food are monster long...but all the wait staff were very friendly.

It is a very short walk to the train that takes you right down to the Canadian Horseshoe Falls.

At checkout it was at least a 40 minute wait for the friendly bellman to make it to the room.

Would I stay if I was paying.....probably not....I used my Hilton points.

Total - $33.90 CAN*  *valet parking, its $20 to self park; $32.06 USD + 1.09 AMEX Charge
