Econo Lodge by the Falls

A clean centrally located motel. Room was spacious. Bathroom facilities were very cramped, shower was a capsule with no lights in it. Drawback is that it is not senior citizens friendly. Room upstairs and down several halls and steps. Pool was indoors and clean although we did not go in. Had a hair dryer, coffee pot, but no refrigerator. we would consider staying there again if we go back, just a lot of walking.

I'm struggling between giving this place a 2 or 3, so since I kind of knew what to expect, I'll give it a 3. If you do your research, you'll know what to expect. I knew before coming that this place was a motel that needed updating so I wasn't super surprised when we got to our room. We arrived on a Thursday and our parking and check-in experience was good. We were able to find a parking spot easily out front of the building we were staying in. (more on this later) Location is directly across from Clifton Hill where all of the attractions are, so it can't get much better than this as far as location. We had 2 rooms with 2 very different experiences. Room 110 with a king bed and balcony was a weird layout. When you open the door to the room, the shower is on the right...like...out in the open. So if you step out of the shower if someone is on the bed, they can see you through mirror thats on the wall in front of the bed. It was really weird that the shower area is just exposed to the room. The toilet and sink are behind a door on the left hand side of the room when you walk in. The worst thing about this room though was the mattress. It was hard as a rock. And I don't mean firm, I mean HARD, similar to sleeping on the floor. We requested a mattress topper/pad, as some hotels have these available. The woman at the front desk though kept asking housekeeping for a mattress cover, which isn't what I was asking for. I explained to her that the mattress was really hard and that if they had a mattress topper I'd apprecaiate one. We came back after housekeeping had been there, and we got a mattress cover. So it made no difference to the comfort of the mattress. The mattress was so bad that we almost checked-out the second night. We didn't get more than 3 hours of sleep each of the 3 nights we were there. I asked the front desk if they were fully booked and they said they were, so there was no chance of getting another room. Our A/C also wasn't getting cold enough. One day we came back to find that housekeeping had turned it off when it was 35 degrees outside which made for a sweaty sleep that night since we came back at midnight. Shower water pressure was great, but the temperature would fluctuate from hot to cold. The balcony was a nice touch. Furniture needs updating. It was early 90s and kind of mix-matched. The comfortors were also those old 90s style quilted ones. Updating just those alone would completely change the look of the rooms. I knew this before going, but just an fyi, there are no fridges in the rooms, so bring a cooler with you. The front desk will give you bags of ice. There was a small coffee maker in the room. Room 106 - 2 queen beds In this room we had a much better experience (this is the room our adult children stayed in). Mattresses were very comfortable and plush. Bathroom was all in 1 room, so we didn't have that weird exposed shower layout like we had in room 110. A/C worked amazingly and their room was kept very c

While writing this review I am still in the room of this Lodge. Location is walking distance from Niagara Falls. Hardly 5 Minutes. Prices are average, neither low nor high. Parking is available for cars. They provided soap, shampoo, and body lotion. Now the most important things those are missing and they could provide as the cost is not very high. There is no refrigerator, Microwave, Iron and Iron Board, and the TV has no channels except few advertisements and you keep on changing channels and you will see same ads channels again and again. Most important: Most of the sockets : for Phone Charging are out of order so we searched sockets in bathroom, but there is no socket in the bathroom. Advice for Hotel Owner: Please provide some basic amenities, like fridge and microwave and make sure all the power points are working. Arrange some news channels in the TV for guests. Your room rent is high compared to the amenities you have provided in the room.

If you are looking to stay in a decently priced clean property that is perfectly located, Econo Lodge is it. I haven't been back to Niagara Falls and stayed here since 2019. It was the long weekend and I was attending the Diana Ross concert at Fallsview ****** Resort. All hotels were pricey at over $250 a night unless you stayed at a motel way uo Lundys Lane. I got the Econo Lodge for $160. I could walk everywhere being at the top of Clifton Hill, and lots of food choices nearby. Rooms are large and clean. Beds are comfy and I had a room with a balcony. So it was nice to sit out there late night having drinks and have a coffee in the morning. The shower has awesome water pressure. Only downfall is no mini fridge or microwave. But you can get a nice medium sized bag of ice for no charge at the front desk. Staff are great, very nice and friendly.. John is a really great guy. I will stay again when attending another concert.

Got it for $139 for friday and saturday nights. Rest of group paid almost $400 per night closer to falls. Great location, room was clean, good water pressure for shower. A fridge would have been nice but not a big deal. Free parking if guest. Limited channels on tv but we still got Leaf game. All in all a good location and deal.

The place was nice and close to all of the fun, it had on site parking and the check in staff, the two younger girls were great. The rooms were relatively clean if you didn’t look too closely. But the sheets were clean and I felt comfortable. The water oscillated from hot hot to cold as expected. Bed was ok comfortable and walls were paper thin. You could hear hotel noise and outside noise fairly well. The older lady staff was, as most reviews said, quite rude and unfriendly. It’s worth the stay for the price honestly, but just realize you’re not getting the best of the best.

Pros: -location -location Cons: -no fridge or microwave -no luggage carts -coffee maker did not work -parking was limited -office was too small; had to wait outside -musty smell in the hallway -pillows were too soft. Overall, we just wanted a place to sleep. It did the job.
