Weekend in Niagara

We just returned from a getaway weekend for two to Niagara Falls. We stayed a single night (Saturday February 20th) at the Sheraton Fallsview in a comfortable 8th floor room directly overlooking the Table Rock House at the top of the Falls, about two blocks away from the Fallsview Casino. The room rate was approx. $130 (inclusive of all taxes) for the night plus $20 for surface parking in a lot adjacent to the hotel. We dined on ribs at Tony Romas (located in the Radisson, next door to the Sheraton) for dinner. We also enjoyed mid afternoon warmers at The Keg (on the 9th floor of the Embassy Suites hotel) and pre-dinner cocktails at the Blue Martin Lounge on the 34th floor of the Hilton (which is undergoing a massive expansion, with a 55 floor adjoining all suites resort tower being erected next door). I can highly recommend their SweeTart Martini! Finally, we had brunch Sunday morning at the Fallsview Casino’s grand buffet (featuring made to order omelettes and carved ham steak) for less than $12 per plate, including coffee, juice and complimentary coat-check! Before departing we went through the Louis Tussaud’s Wax Works museum at the top of Clifton Hill, posing for pictures with “the stars”.
