Our Family Experience was Great
November 21, 2014

We booked 2 adjoining rooms for us and our teens. The staff was very friendly and helpful - when kids accidentally locked themselves out of their room, maintenance took care of it within minutes. The kids loved the pool. We found the pool and whirlpool a little chaotic because others weren't supervising their younger kids, but that's not the fault of the hotel... Hotel was in walking distance... more

We also had a fridge and microwave which was very handy! We also noticed the extra coffee, and tea, as well as extra soaps and shampoos and towels!!! We felt very pampered!

Where's the Coffee?
October 11, 2014

The hotel was fine but would it kill them to have coffee bar in the lobt? The room coffee passed as ok instant coffee. There is no way a coffee bar with decaf. and Reg. Coffee with 3 to 4 different creamers and a few packets of hot cchocolate would break their budget and it would go a long way to making their guest happyer.

The hojo is a decent hotel. It provides all of the essentials. Also, its located next to the falls and all of the attractions, which is convienient.

September 30, 2014

Can't complain given how little we paid! While this hotel isn't a 5 star, it was pleasant enough to stay 3 nights to enjoy our time in Niagara falls. It's obviously an older hotel in need of some modern updating, but it's simple and kept clean. Their proximity to restaurants and attractions if great!
