    A beautiful hotel within walking distance to many falls attractions like Clifton Hill, The Skylon Tower, and The Table Rock Welcome Centre. There is a restaurant below the inn which was fabulous. Staff were welcoming and warm. Being from out of the country I had numerous questions while I was there and the staff I met were patient and helpful. The room was modern, clean, and neat. I rarely heard any of my neighbors or outside noise. The bed was comfy, water pressure in the shower was good, and the AC worked properly. Breakfast in bed is delivered each morning if you request it. It was a lot of food for me so I opted out the rest of my trip.

    Breakfast in "bed"

    Booked through Amex and was given a free upgrade to a large room with a jacuzzi. The front desk was super friendly and helpful with doing that for us. The bed was soooo comfy and the room so lovely. I would stay here again with the close walk to the tourist attractions and falls, without being right in the center of the madness. The breakfast in bed was soooo good. I wish more hotels would do this. It's such a crowd pleaser and very filling. Also a lovely way to start the day.

    Two complimentary glasses of sparkling wine. Vouchers valid from 5-6PM. The bar and restaurant are located in the basement.

    After seeing so many glorious reviews, my expectations from the Sterling Inn & Spa were rather high. All I wanted was a nice, cozy room, comfy bed, hot and pleasant shower and a working TV. Our Deluxe King Steam Shower room was on the first floor with a window to the parking lot. My first impression wasn't that great. The room was very specious, but empty and echoey. The combination of grayish laminate flooring (no carpet), and dark brown furniture were cold and uninviting. Some furniture looked old and worn out. All the lamps had bright, white light. The only way to add some ambience to the space was turning them off. Our room felt much better with just a little light from the kitchen nook area. The front desk staff were helpful, polite and informative. It was actually the best part of the experience at Sterling Inn & Spa. I'm sure, if I had any complaints, they would try to make me happy without hesitation. However, if they really wanted to provide me with a perfect stay, I would not have been given the worst room in the entire hotel, but I would have been offered a free upgrade, which was provided by Expedia. Unfortunately, I didn't notice that there was such an option until later. Now, the worst. I found out too late that the steam shower in our room had a truly unpleasant odor because of the blocked drain. The smell coming from the drain filled the whole shower cabin. Generally, the shower area looked dirty, including the glass door which was covered with soap scum. It was a disaster. We also had a problem with the TV, plus there were limited channels available. The king size bed was really nice, but it was too close to a few steps between the bedroom and living room. Sometimes when I moved, the automatic lights illuminating these stairs would turn on. It was annoying especially during the night. Besides the endless coffee, tea and water available at the lobby, we also received two complimentary glasses of sparkling wine (vouchers valid from 5-6PM), and breakfast. Let me tell you about "Breakfast in Bed". There is no alternative to having breakfast anywhere other than in your room. Just fill out a "breakfast slip" and hang it outside your room door by 10 p.m. For two people you will receive yogurt with granola, two tiny already peeled hard-boiled eggs (I didn't like its texture), one apple, one orange, two croissants and fruit jam. The store-bought orange juice was ok. The French press coffee would be drinkable, if it were served with the proper measured amount of hot water. We simply ruined it. Everything was nicely served, but honestly, besides the warm and buttery croissant, the food was basic and nothing special. The parking situation is delightful ($18 per night). The location is also very good. You're just 5 minutes from the top of Clifton Hill. If you decide to stay at Sterling Inn & Spa be sure to check everything before settling down. If I knew better, I would have definitely reserved a smaller room with a nice bathroom, or I would rather choose a different hotel with the view.

    Please don't waste your money elsewhere! This place exceeded my expectations. The reception staff were courteous and informative, and the housekeeping staff were as well. I set the bar extremely high after serving 25 years in the military and expect nothing less than impeccable accommodations. From the moment I walked in I was blown away! The room was quite large and welcoming. The vinyl flooring done in a wood look gave the warm look of a rustic cabin feel. From the jacuzzi in the bath to the king size bed with a faux canopy look, I was totally impressed. Two cotton terry robes were placed on the bed awaiting my use after a soothing jacuzzi and a hot shower! The room between the wet bar and the bedroom was adorned by a 46 inch wide screen television placed above a faux fireplace for a warm touch. Once I took a video of my room, I chose to explore the rest of the complex. I stayed on the first floor and the dining facility, spa, fitness room, and bar were down on the basement level. I will include pictures as well as a video of yelp allows. All these magnificent accommodations for under $100usd. If you want the best for your money, stay at the Sterling Inn and Spa while in Niagara Falls Canada.

    Superb accommodation, impeccable service, luxurious jacuzzi, scrumptious breakfast, and extremely comfortable bed. Most importantly - top notch service! We accidentally left our engagement ring there and the staff carefully kept it for us until we drove back to retrieve it!!!

    This hotel is away from all the chain hotels. Staff at front desk - shout out to Greg are very helpful and friendly. The rooms are spacious with comfortable king beds, separate shower area and toilet. Free robes and slippers replaced daily. Best free breakfast delivered to your room at a time you select which was very convenient as we were out and about daily. Has a wonderful massage at the Spa which I highly recommend after a day of walking. Make appointments prior to your arrival. Parking is much less than the other hotels. Close to Clinton hill. If you need to drive your car closer to the Falls, you will have to pay for parking or you can Uber it because it's probably about a mile and a half walk when you do pay for parking which was $35. It's for the whole day so that includes going in and out of the parking lot Until midnight.

    They brought us breakfast in bed.  Nice touch!
    Stewart V.

    We had an excellent stay. The room was spacious and immaculate. The service was on point. Lisa at the front desk booked our dinner reservations and booked us on a wine tour. They even had a bottle of champagne in our room to celebrate our 11th anniversary. This was one of the nicest rooms we have ever stayed in. It had a fireplace, steam shower and a two person whirlpool tub. We really loved the complete darkness shades on the windows. Really allowed you to sleep in. The building was originally a creamery in the 1920's and the current owners have maintained many of the original open beam wood ceilings. It was beautiful. Another wonderful touch was the daily breakfast in bed. It made it very romantic and perfect for the couple that needs some together time. We highly recommend and will stay here again..

    Most amazing comfort and care. Location is convenient and quiet. Staff a great. Room is huge and well appointed.

    A beautiful hotel placed in a great location. Complimentary breakfast to your room Free wifi Parking $17 a day Walking distance: Niagara Falls - 10 mins Clifton Hill - 5 mins Skylon - 12 mins Rainbow bridge - 15 mins Greg Frewin magic show - next door I really liked their bed and pillows. The water pressure was excellent. The hotel has a french restaurant, AG, and wonderful spa service. The staff are very friendly and considerate. *You will get free upgrade if you book through Expedia VIP Access*

    Great service and location. 10 mins walking to the falls and 2 mins walking to all the food/restaurants. We had some issues regarding the AC, they resolved it within reasonable time. Modern room and bathroom (towels, shampoo, body wash etc are provided. ) Breakfast in bed is a set menu, you can pick the delivery time. I def recommend this hotel!

    Near the AG restaurant inside the hotel

    We have not vacationed since 2018 so I am thrilled that I chose wisely. This boutique hotel lives up to its great reputation. Greg at the reception counter greeted us so warmly and took the time to explain what to expect and what great services we were in for. Breakfast in bed was fantastic. The steam shower was relaxing. The room/suite was almost the same size as my apartment (I am not exaggerating). All the staff was friendly, courteous and quick to help, I mean ALL of them, no exception. Of course I had to take advantage of the spa services. Tracy has the softest hands, so both my massage and facial were relaxing and rewarding! What a sweet young lady. We also tried the AG restaurant and did find it a bit expensive but the food was good but on the other hand the drinks were great. The location was central to everything, from restaurants, amusement park, easy walk to the Falls and park area. Across the street is the restaurant Chef of Indian- great food and affordable and great service. I will definitely be coming back to this hotel!!! It scores a 10 for me and my husband.

    Appearance

    My bf and I had a very good experience last winter! The staffs are extremely friendly and the room was totally beyond our expectations. They also offer various options for breakfast and it was enough for two ppl.

    This is a lovely little spa inside the Marriott Falls View hotel. My wife and I went for the oasis…read morethermal journey and were pleasantly surprised with all they mange to fit into a small space. The indoor hot tub and salt sauna were both quite spacious, and while the three outside pools were much smaller, they were great for working through the circuit of varying temperatures. There's also a dry sauna you access from that area. You get unlimited use of the facility for three hours, which is quite a good deal. We are big fans of nordic contrast circuits and have visited plenty of similar spas in various cities and countries. For the price, this one covers all the bases very well with few frills, and that's okay with us. The service was good, and the employees friendly, even if they did seem a bit overworked at times. This location isn't as luxurious in its other amenities as some other options in nearby Niagara-On-The-Lake, so if you're after a full pampering experience, you might look into one of those, but the much lower cost here made it a worthwhile trade-off for us. Plus the location is convenient to a lot of other sites and restaurants, and free parking is included. All in all, good facilities, good people, good price point. We will be back again for sure!

The staff on Monday-Beth in particular was exceptional she showed me the spa area and was very informative regarding the day pass(me) and the facial(male travel partner). All the staff I encountered Monday was fantastic. However Tuesday Thé morning of my spa day the staff turned off the fantastic button. We both had our inferred session same day together Monday afternoon. He had his facial same day Monday-he said he really enjoyed it. He face was very dewy and moisturized . Pleasant experience. My spa session on Tuesday was good; I'm am so glad i booked early morning bc I had the place to myself for almost two hours. Remember I said petite.Yes it a cute space to relax is you have an hour or so. Tried the Himalayan salt sauna larger pool; open shower, dry sauna and hottest whirlpool(it was mild). The cold plunge whirlpool was good. I enjoyed my time. They have three whirlpools outside fits 4 comfortably maybe 5 strangers. I had them to myself so it was wonderful. Overall it was a great experience for me. They seem to offer full spa services from what I saw as I walked around. The spa gets a 4 star due to amenities cleanliness and offerings. Although small the space was utilized well. I very big on customer service and the Tuesday staff was clearly not morning people; thus the reason for the overall 3 stars. If you're in the hotel area yes visit during off peak times to have the best experience it gets crowded quickly due to small size.

Since we booked the last time slot for a couples massage of the evening, we were not able to use the sauna or steam room afterward and our services felt extremely rushed by every single person we interacted with there. I noticed that the snacks and some additional amenities were put away about 90 minutes before they even closed. We only booked the last massage of the evening because that was just what was available and I don't recommend going at this time. They offer an option to visit the sauna/steam room the following morning for the first few hours of the day if you're the last appointment the night before, but they only tell you this when you get there. This was not helpful for me because I had something to do early the next day. I also took the time to fill out a form for my massage therapist and she never looked at it, she just told me to hand it to the cashier when I left. The masseuse did not ask me if I enjoyed the pressure of the massage nor asked for any feedback. It was more like a fancy rub down for around 45 minutes in a warm bed. The cost was too high for a rushed 45 minutes and marketed as a 60 minute luxurious experience. The woman who massaged my husband spoke to him more than my therapist did, and so he was happier with his massage. Both therapists seemed mentally checked out for the day as they started our massage late and were just going through the motions with their job/lacked going any extra mile whatsoever. We were getting married the next day lol. I guess that's what you get for including automatic gratuity on the couples massage. The room atmosphere was very nice for the couples massage, they included towels and sandals, but as a whole this was very disappointing and overpriced. Will not be going back!

The employees here are fantastic. And I mean everyone. From the minute we met the valet guys in the parking lot, the front desk, the elevator jockeys, the evening happy hour crew, breakfast staff, have I missed anyone? I hope not. All very friendly & helpful. When we stay at the falls, we book the best room possible. It doesn't come cheap. We're ok with that because for us we want to enjoy that majestic view of both sets of falls every morning and evening. This hotel does have rooms with fantastic views. Whether its early morning watching the fog roll around below, or later in the evening watching the lighted falls and fireworks you cannot beat the view here. But when you're dropping a grand a night you don't want to stay in a place that seems worn and dated. This corner suite came with one of those commercial quality massage loungers you might find in your local gym. Nice in a novelty kind of way, but there was only one (thinking most people travel in pairs?) and honestly after the 5 minute "tried it because it was there" it just became a big piece of immovable junk that blocked part of the falls view from the bed. There were two other chairs as well, but they were the hardback chairs you'd find in the dining room of the hotel. Seriously? Again, we paid a lot of money to kick back and relax in the evening with a cocktail and that view. There was absolutely no comfort to the chairs at all. Why not take the money from the massage chair and invest in two nice swivel loungers? Seems like that would've been a much better use of the money. Another problem for this hotel is the lack of room service. There are two restaurants at the hotel, STK Steakhouse and a TGIFridays. Neither location provides room service. We walked through both onsite restaurants the first evening, neither were serving a full house by any means. It seems like they could use the additional business of providing room service...perhaps this is some kind of contractual issue between them and the hotel. Either way, big opportunity miss here. Remember, people are paying to stay in room with fabulous views...but they must leave to get food and drink? Lastly, a brand management problem. Unlike most other hotel chains, Hilton still hasn't returned to normal daily room housekeeping. Look, Covid is over. Your rates more than cover getting someone to come in to collect the dirty towels and make the bed. It's time to bring back quality service.

Our room was recently renovated and beautiful. The elevator situation is pure chaos. We stayed on the 24th floor and often waited 15 minutes to go down.

I can't even imagine how it is in the summer, we went mid-September. Going up isn't as bad because staff control those getting on the elevator ms from the lobby. Skipped the morning breakfast to enjoy Tim Horton's, a quick walk from the hotel. The incline railway tram is right behind the hotel and is a quick, fun way to head to the Niagara Falls visitor center. Parking is ridiculously expensive but half off with a handicap permit. We found it worth it for our needs. Overall a great stay, just frustration with the elevators.
