Marriott Niagara Falls Fallsview Hotel & Spa
Off-site parking was $50 and not very convenient, about 5 minute walk. The breakfast was made to order, not a buffet, but it was good. The spa closes early. The window glass was dirty from the falls, but the view from the Superior room on 19th floor was absolutely amazing.
