leisawessa Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Hi all bidders.We wanted to spend 2 luxury nights right on the Niagara Falls with the best view and didn't want to take any chances with a random bet (with Priceline).Ended up booking a package for $215/nite2 Adults & 2 Kids - 2 Queen Beds - Room is between floors 15 to 23, Breakfast is included (a big plus to us), $20 parking fee, View of Horseshoe Falls, NonSmoking.The amenities are: Swimming pool, Fitness centre, Business Centre, Meeting room, Wheelchair access, Hi Speed Internet, Wireless, Onsite Dinning & Whirlpool.If I had of booked the same thing thru the Embassy Hotel website, these 2 nights would have cost us CAD$552.00 I'm very happy with my purchase, it doesn't matter that I could have got it cheaper with bidding, you get what you pay for, I wanted View, high room, 2 beds & free breaky, which I don't think I would have got if I had taken my chances and bid. I hope some of this information is helpful to anyone.Thank you Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 There are packages offered on the Hilton website... if you go to this hotel's home page and then click HOTEL SPECIALS. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
leisawessa Posted August 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Yes I saw those packages, I wanted the 2 nites package with a chance to win a trip to hawaii and kids "airbender" package but this was the above price, I choose not to go that way and stay with the cheaper option.

leisawessa Posted September 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Ok we stayed here at the Embassy Suite and I must say it was the BEST!!! ... However we paid for an upgrade. Instead of having 2 doubles on the 15th - 23rd floor we got upgraded (for $50 plus taxes) per night to be on the 40th floor with view of BOTH falls with King and Jacuzzi and a seperate room / lounge room with TV and fold away bed for the kids which was ideal for us to give us some privacy and they had their own tv. After paying for parking which is $30 plus tips per day and paying for tips for bags to be bought up and tips for breakfast and valet parking and upgrade plus taxes, taxes and more taxes... yes it was still worth it but it ended up costing approx $350 per night with all that extra taxes and tips for everything. We loved the floor 9 breakfast buffet, we stocked up on fruit for our daily trips. We defantly got our money worth there.The hotel is VERY clean and VVERy friendly. Apart from the price it was Awesome.The Oaks is right next door and the Casino is next to that. The Oaks would have been a good choice too but it's not as high, maybe 25 floors, not sure.
