Well I did book through this site, betterbidding.com, on Hotwire and the 3 1/2* offered for $102. a night did in fact end up being the Crowne Plaza, very nice hotel, standard NON VIEW of the Falls, BUT while checking on Casino Niagara info what do you think I found, AFTER I PLACED the NO CHANGE, NON refundable order for this room with no view?????? I found that had I gone through the Casino Niagara site, I would have received the DELUXE KING, FULL FREEKING VIEW of the falls, for only $89.00 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Got majorly burned on this one, I've been told that if we get there early we may be able to upgrade to a falls view room, .............for an additional charge, so if you are going to go to Niagara Falls... stay the heck away from this or any other site and go for the Casino Niagara site and book through them, oh by the way the hotel that we really wanted and that we have stayed at before for nearly $200. a night for a full view of the falls, the Sheraton on the Falls, ...... coulda had one of there upper full view DELUXE KING rooms for only $99.00 Lesson learned, unfortuneatly, TOO LATE, good- by betterbidding, for anything where you have multi tiered rooms, cause I got hosed on this one!

Another question would be at Niagara Falls, most hotels have the standard, city, partial falls, and full fallsview, Hotwire never shows anything about views, at some point in the purchase phase do you ever get a chance at the fallsview rooms? or do they just give you the basic room so you get the bottom line price?

The 3 1/2* shows casino access, the 4* does not , other than that they are pretty much same, 4* has business center we are going up on 7/28 7/29, check out 7/30.

If I'm reading this site right, based on the features of the hotels, the Crowne Plaza is a 3 1/2 * with Casino access from lobby, we really like the Sheraton on the Falls, but the 4* it is showing doesn't show Casino, or the Childrens (probably the Waterpark access. question would be does Hotwire use the the Sheraton on the Falls? or will a 4* take us away from Clifton Hill as that is where we really would like to be. Thanks
