Rittman1 Posted July 24, 2010 Report Posted July 24, 2010 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'tshow 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

Rittman1 Posted July 25, 2010 Author Report Posted July 25, 2010 Another question would be at Niagara Falls, most hotelshave 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 soyou get the bottom line price?
thereuare Posted July 26, 2010 Report Posted July 26, 2010 4-star hotel in Niagara Falls, OntarioThis hotel features the following amenities:Fitness CenterPool(s)Restaurant(s)Business CenterHigh-speed Internet Access3.5-star hotel in Niagara Falls, OntarioThis hotel features the following amenities:CasinoSmoke Free RoomsFitness CenterPool(s)Restaurant(s)Business CenterHigh-speed Internet AccessChildren's Activity ProgramPlease don't copy/paste amenities to your thread and only list the amenity names, not the descriptions, as you can see how much easier the quote box above is to read compared to your previous post.PRICELINE and HOTWIRE reservations are for standard rooms. You may be able to request an upgraded room with a view, and based upon availability the hotel may or may not honor your request, or may offer you an upgraded room for an additional fee, but not of this is guaranteed... all that you are assured of is a hotel which will accommodate the number of guests you included in your search.The 4* above matches both the Sheraton Fallsview and the Hilton Fallsview so either of these would be my best guess for this one. The 3.5* matches previous reports for the Crowne Plaza so that would be my best guess there.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know what you decide for this stay or if we can be of further help.

ThanksWell I did book through this site, betterbidding.com, on Hotwire and the 3 1/2* offered for $102. a nightdid in fact end up being the Crowne Plaza, very nice hotel, standard NON VIEW of the Falls, BUT while checking on Casino Niagara infowhat 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 VIEWof 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 KINGrooms 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!
yellowdog Posted July 28, 2010 Report Posted July 28, 2010 Rittman1Thank you for sharing your win with the board and using our PRICELINE link to begin your bidding :) Sorry to see that you didn't get a deal on this one. With HOTWIRE are you only getting a standard room most of the times.When did you book this? Did you check the price for a standard room? Since HOTWIRE got a rate guarantee that must be claimed within 48 hours.But it's good to see that you like the hotel.Enjoy your stay.Yellowdog.
