Econo Lodge By The Falls

As many others pointed out, the room was very dated, and there was a bit of a stale odor that disappeared once the AC was on. Bathroom was stained and the water in the tub didn't drain very well during a shower, but it was pretty much clean. Bed was comfy but my pillow was lumpy. If you need a decent place to stay close to the action, this place does the job. Clifton Hill is right around the corner!

If you are looking for a spot close to Clifton Hill, then this a good location but it comes with many issues. 1. This weekend in particular the $250 security deposit was more than the room itself. The rooms are not the nicest and doesn’t come with a fridge or microwave. 2. We were given a room with a balcony, there is a strip of lights along that wall, 2/3 lights were burnt out. When this was brought up with front desk, we were told it was a “maintenance issue” and they’ve been like that for quite some time now and it’s not the problem of front desk. 3. There is only 4 lights to aluminate the main room, a random sink when you first walk in, 2 lamps and the lights at the back balcony doors. If you don’t flick the switch closes to the door, the lamp at the bedside table does not work. 4. Shower curtain is not fully plastic, kinda like that plastic fabric material. Along the bottom of it has the starting of mold. Another issue is the bathtub did not look like it was cleaned properly, the anti-slip strips on the bottom of the tub were black and not the greatest looking. 5. The air control in the room is basic but takes a bit to kick on and is a bit outdated. 6. Housekeeping starts their shift at 7 am. Meaning at 7am slamming doors and vacuums are going. They have no care in the world about this. So if you have a late night, expect an unwanted wake up call. 7. If you don’t close the door properly with an extra push they do not automatically close, they stay slightly open. Not a safe feeling for 3 young women on a night out for a girls trip. 8. Pool is nice and refreshing. It is not monitored though ( which most hotel pools are not). It’s not heated but it’s 10 feet deep so easy for a nice jump in. But there is broken pieces of red rocks that fall into the pool. 9. The one building is not wheelchair accessible. There is no elevators or handicap push buttons. Some positive out of this negative review is: 1. They let us check in 45 minutes before check in. 2. If you wanted parking for the next day after checkout it’s $10 till 4pm. Just have to ask. When it’s $25-$30 on the strip itself. Overall, not a good experience for someone that travels frequently to Niagara Falls. A lot of attitude and unhelpful front desk staff.
