Closest Hotel to the Falls with Great Views
Review From: NexTag Editorial Review, Jun 9, 2008
The Oakes Hotel Overlooking the Falls has the unique distinction of being the closest hotel to Niagara Falls. Located in the Fallsview District on the crest of the Niagara Escarpment, the Oakes is able to offer panoramic views of the falls not seen from any other hotel. The location is also on the same block as a variety of restaurants and shops and a casino. The 21-story hotel features 312 guest rooms and suites with queen-size beds, ironing boards, and satellite TV. The rooms are not first-rate and don't include refrigerators but guests come here for the view, not the amenities. An indoor pool, whirlpool, and sauna are available for guest relaxation. The hotel's Applebee's Bar and Grill provides convenience though not always good service. Overall, if your main objective is the Niagara Falls view and not amenities, then the Oakes Hotel Overlooking the Falls is an ideal choice.
