This is a great venue , not only for concerts, but for weddings, anniversaries or any celebration …read more I've been here 2ce now for concerts. It's a nice sized place, With a bar in the center (that only accepts cash unfortunately), A big ladies room with lots of stalls & pretty clean. Chairs for us old ppl who can't stand long. A section for the handicapped. A nice big section for bands' merchandise & for "Meet & Greets." There's actually parking & it doesn't take hours to leave the lot. This is probably my favorite venue for concerts. You don't stick to the floor or anything, lol .

So I came here for the first time on a Wednesday and had an interesting experience…read more Upon arriving, the parking lot in back was completely full, which was impressive seeing as how big it was. I ended up having to park across the street in a tiny lot though I did arrive about 10 minutes before the show was supposed to start. Walking around to the front, I entered in and there was plenty of security at the door. Girls and guys were separated into two lines and we had to empty pockets and I was pat down. After scanning my ticket and getting my wrist band, I was in. The interior was really cool though, I liked the aesthetic. Since it was a Wednesday, I didn't really want to get into the booze, so I asked for just a water, but they don't serve tap, only bottled (which they take the cap away) that cost $3, which I thought was a little strange but oh well. Afterwards, I went up to the balcony and was able to find a chair and high-table to sit down. As soon as I did though, the power went out. In all of Niagara Falls. All the way to Schenectady (apparently). This occurred about five minutes before the show was to start. It took over 2.5 hours for the power to be restored. I was a little disappointed at the lack of communication to the crowd. Though it was pretty cool that some of the members of the bands that were going to perform came out and played acoustic. Once the power was restored though, they were pretty quick at getting the bands on. The first four bands played abbreviated sets while the headliner was able to play their full set (even though they were pushed about an hour behind). The instrumentals came across very well into the balcony but the vocals seemed muffled, I couldn't really understand what the singer was singing. I have a feeling that this would've been rectified had the power not gone out. In the end, I had a good time here. I wish management had communicated a bit more about power restoration times and alternatives, but this is such a rare occurrence for them to have to deal with something like that. I would like to come back here again and, hopefully, experience a normal night here!

The short review: We 100% recommend Sound of Harmony!!! They did a phenomenal job!…read more The long review: From the very beginning, they made the whole process very easy for us - not only the DJ and music selection elements, but the entire wedding. We had an initial walk-through with Shane (owner/manager), Steve (MC) and Ross (DJ), who asked us a few questions so they could better understand us and make recommendations for our wedding - e.g. what kind of music we like, how did I my wife and I meet, how would we describe each other, etc... This walkthrough was very helpful as we had no idea what we were doing and gave us a good idea of what to expect and what we needed to prepare in the coming months. To add another layer of difficulty, we were trying to coordinate a wedding in Niagara on the Lake, ON, while living in Boston, Massachusetts. They checked-in with us from time to time with more elements to consider and to discuss the details of the timeline for our wedding. As we got closer to the event date, we had a few Skype sessions with Steve, our MC. We provided him with some very ambiguous and open-ended information about our bridesmaids, groomsmen and parents that he was able to, somehow, turn into beautiful introductions for each person before they gave their speeches. Steve not only went above and beyond prior to the event to make us feel comfortable with how things were going to go, but during the event as well - introducing his great sense of humor throughout without overpowering the event. Steve was so beloved, in fact, that at the end of the event much of the wedding party asked to have them join them for drinks while they continued the celebrations that night. Ross was the DJ during the event. As a half "American", half Ukrainian wedding, we threw a very complicated set at him. We gave him songs that were in another language with varying styles that he needed to balance with a mix of traditional jazz and 90s pop music. He was able to pull this off without a hitch and read the crowd very well. Ross was great about taking requests from the guests. We had a diverse group of people - with equally diverse tastes - whose requests he was able to satisfy and blend into the overall style/feel we wanted for the evening. We also had Sound of Harmony provide blue uplights - which we highly recommend as well. It added a nice feel around the room where we felt something would have been missing otherwise. It's a small addition, but makes a big impact. We couldn't have asked for a better team to DJ our event. Working with them was by far the easiest part of wedding planning. The day of the wedding we still had a lot of things to keep in mind and take care of but the DJ and the MC were not one of them. We are truly thankful for all their hard work! They absolutely nailed it!

Not only were my guests super impressed, but the servers we also commenting saying it was the best they have experienced in a long time. They made our day even more special. It was almost like we had known them for years, they made it seem so personal, like we were all family, the way they were so passionate about the job they had done. I am so thankful I hired them, I couldn't imagine our special day any other way!! Thank-you SO much Shane and Teal! Adam and Iesha Harrington

I don't normally eat at Italian restaurants because I'm…read moreItalian and I'm very particular. We went on a recommendation from Vinny (the bartender at The Giacomo Hotel). Granted, the restaurant is in the middle of the desolate town of Niagara Falls, NY (and I mean there's nothing around), but once you step into the restaurant, you know why they're still standing after 4 generations. It's like walking onto a set of Goodfellas so I knew right away that I wasn't going to be disappointed. Danielle, our server, is the granddaughter of the original owners. I believe her brother is the chef and they continue their grandparents legacy to this day. We ordered a caprese salad to start. Gnocchi with meatballs and Eggplant parm were the entrees both served with a simple (what I call Sunday) sauce. The food was impeccable!!! What I loved is that it was clean and fresh tasting. The eggplant was not overly breaded and fried - it was stacked like layers of lasagna. The gnocchi were perfect little potato pillows! Bravo to the family!! Your grandparents would be so proud!

I ordered catering for my work's Christmas party. It was a lunch party, so it started at 11, so I…read moreordered it for 11:30 pickup. It was not ready when I arrived- they even told me they forgot about the order. In return, they offered to deliver it once it was ready. At first I was told 20 minutes, then that turned to 30. The food ended up arriving almost an hour after it was supposed to be ready. I am a little disappointed they didn't offer any discounts or refunds, or throw in any extras or anything for the troubles- we still paid full price. That being said, the food was actually amazing. House salad with homemade dressing 10/10 Dressing was really good. Penne & Penne Parmigiana w/ homemade tomato sauce 9/10 The noodles could have use another minute, but the sauce was really good, and I liked the penne parm better just because I love cheese. Tortellini alfredo with Chicken, mushroom, broccoli and scallions 10/10 Good sauce. The chicken was cooked great, it was really good. Homemade Meatballs 10/10 Honestly probably the best meatballs I've ever had. They were so tender, soft, and delicious. Chicken cutlets 10/10 Cooked great, the chicken was good and the fry was perfect.

Mobile check-in was easy and convenient. I had a room assigned and a mobile key well before my…read morearrival. The property is easy to reach and within walking distance of local attractions, provided you don't mind a somewhat longer walk. The common areas were spacious and appeared well maintained. What used to be the fenced-in primary parking lot is now a construction zone, complete with the noise, dust, and debris that come with it. A sign on the door apologized for the inconvenience and explained that the disruption was due to an ongoing expansion project. However, the hotel should be more transparent and post this information on its website, as many other properties do. Had I known about the construction, I would have asked more questions or possibly chosen another hotel. Finding out upon arrival leaves few options--and I suspect that may be the reason the construction isn't advertised. The hotel now offers parking across the street in an area that appears to lack any security and is adjacent to abandoned buildings. Please be cautious when crossing the street to the hotel; several cars did not yield to pedestrians. I don't mind paying for parking when there's value (such as proximity and security) but the current setup feels more like a quick cash grab. The room itself was spacious but showed clear signs of wear and tear. I might have overlooked that had the room been properly cleaned. The floor needed vacuuming; the microwave had a dried spill; surfaces were wiped down with something that left a noticeable film; the windows and TV screen were streaked; there were mosquitoes or gnats flying around; the balcony doors hadn't been cleaned in quite some time; some lights didn't work; and the couch cushions were placed upside down. These details, among others, gave the impression of poor housekeeping and inattentive maintenance. There is a fitness room and an indoor pool, but you must go to the front desk to gain access to the pool, an odd policy with no clear explanation. Perhaps once the expansion is complete, this property will be worth another try. For now, when I'm in Niagara, I'll stay elsewhere. The experience simply fell short in too many areas.

I recently visited Buffalo for a concert. I hadn't been back to the city in well over a decade…read more Back when I frequented the city more often, I'd stay by Walden Galleria Mall. The area had great shopping and food. Hotel rates have shot up these days. I did a search and found that I could shave off a total of $100 USD if I stayed at this Courtyard in Niagara Falls instead. The move worked out extremely well. I was here for two nights and loved my stay. I came here on a Sunday. I had had a late lunch and did some grocery shopping before checking in. I had no problem finding this hotel and parking in the lot. Parking is $10 a night. I'm guessing that you pay for parking because Seneca Niagara Casino is a two-minute drive away. I am the type who loves self-directed, touristy learning. As soon as I walked through the automatic sliding doors with my rolling luggage, backpack, and groceries, I was met with photos and captions of decades past. OMG! This hotel is where Niagara Chocolate Company used to be. I was staying in a chocolate factory. Er, okay, sort of. It didn't smell like chocolate, but just the thought of being in one was cool. I had Courtney, the best staffer at this hotel. She checked me in. She made sure that I knew where everything was, from the bistro for breakfast, to the elevator. This hotel was being renovated, so the pool was unavailable. I frankly didn't hear any construction while I stayed at this hotel. I had the opposite experience. It was so quiet that I loved it. She asked me if I had a vehicle. I did. I got a parking pass that you place on your dashboard when you park in the lot. I don't know if having a pass was enforced, but I never had any issues. I am digging Courtyard hotels these days. I had an excellent experience at the one in Ottawa. It was a carbon copy here. My room did feel like my home away from home. I thank the concert getting me out and being curious to check out the area. I had brought in drinks and fruit, which stored nicely in the mini fridge. My room also had a microwave, which was perfect for my needs. The bed was a king. It was comfortable and spacious. I slept well both nights. There were plenty of outlets to charge my phone and use my laptop. Everything was great. The bathroom was spacious and clean. The counterspace by the sink was generous for my toiletries and more. The shower was great with the perfect water pressure. There were lots of clean towels. Liquid soap, shampoo, and conditioner were filled up in their respective dispensers. My room had a balcony. It was so warm for late March that I checked it out. This hotel is in an industrial area, with touristy spots like this hotel and the casino that broke the monotony up. It's kind of weird, but cool simultaneously. I worked remotely from my hotel on Monday. I had food delivered to my room twice through DoorDash. No issues there. I asked Courtney if I could check out late on Tuesday afternoon. She said that I could up to 4 pm as a platinum elite member. I only needed to be there till 1 pm. Done! This woman was fabulous. She needs a raise for being so helpful and nice during my entire stay. My floor had a lot of historical photos and information under each one. I felt like I was at a museum, but without the gift shop. It was up my alley and was a wonderful bonus at this hotel. I loved staying here. It was a gem of a find! I'd love to return to this area and stay here again. (145)

My favorite…read moreSheraton remains Los Angeles, and my least favorite was Washington, DC, but the Sheraton Niagara Falls comes much closer to the L.A. standard for accessibility. Room 427 was spacious, with excellent turning radius for my power wheelchair and plenty of strategically placed outlets for charging. The bed was plush and comfortable, and the room featured a large wall-mounted flat-screen TV, refrigerator, safe, and an ice machine conveniently located down the hall. The fourth floor was mostly peaceful during my stay. Three nights were quiet, while two were a bit noisy with people running through the hallways, likely due to graduation season. Most importantly, the bathroom earns a solid 9/10. The roll-in shower was well designed, with amenities mounted at wheelchair height and backup bottles available on the sink. This is one detail many hotels still get wrong, so kudos to Sheraton for getting it right. The lobby was chic, modern, and stylish, with multiple lounge-style seating areas that comfortably accommodated the steady flow of guests. The spacious layout was easy to navigate as a wheelchair user. Accessibility extended beyond the hotel room. The Starbucks, Rainforest Cafe, breweries, arcade, and the Reef Beach Club pool area were all accessible. The concierge team was friendly and knowledgeable, and the staff, especially manager Dani, were consistently helpful and available throughout my stay. Location is another major plus. The hotel sits directly across from the Seneca Resort & Casino, about five blocks from Niagara Falls and Niagara Falls State Park. The free Discover Niagara Shuttle stops right outside the hotel, making it easy to get around without a car. Bonus points: there's a 7-Eleven just three blocks away for affordable snacks, drinks, and late-night munchies. Overall, this was a very positive stay and one of the better accessible hotel experiences I've had. #ADADoneRight #TysAdventures26 #NiagaraFallsUSASheraton #Sheraton #MarriottBonvoy #Bonvoy

I stayed a few nights here recently for work... Pulling up, it's in a date, rundown part of town,…read morewhich clearly used to be based on heavy tourism, but doesn't seem to have as much going on anymore. The hotel itself from the outside is very unattractive and also not very appealing, looking dated and in need of refreshing. Checking in was simple and very helpful and friendly. They do have a very odd parking system here where they don't have valet and when you self-park, you bring the ticket in for them to scan and make active for a day. You'll need to do this daily (every day and a half or so), so keep those tickets when you come back in. The lady who checked me hit all the points and was descriptive in explaining the hotel. When I got to the room the first thing I noticed was the horrible, stained, and old brown carpet. The room was really dated and definitely in need of being refurbished. I did see posters in the hotel showing that they're going to refurbish the rooms, but I'm not sure why hotels let them get like this. They go an easy 10 years past prime, I suppose it's to make money back on the expense of the previous refurbishment. Anyway, it's rather disgusting to walk in rooms like this, but I will say that housekeeping here was probably some of the best I've experienced in a very long time! Each day I came back to the room, the room was refreshed and the bed looked very smooth, not wrinkled, made to perfection! The TV was great too because it offered Pluto as part of the streaming offerings, which I love. The common areas are pretty wild here as they look really nice. There's a Rainforest Café attached to the hotel. The pool looks pretty nice and has a large aquarium in it. There's also another large aquarium in the lobby area. The elevators are rather run down, hopefully they're refurbishing them as well. Overall, it wasn't a bad stay, despite the looks of everything. I was able to get a decent sleep and the concierge lounge on the 6th floor was staffed by decent folks in the morning for breakfast. So there were decent parts of this stay.
