The YukonHome/Where to stay/Niagara Falls/3-star hotels
3-star hotels in Niagara Falls
A shortlist of 15 three-star hotels in Niagara Falls, from inns and bed-and-breakfasts to full-service hotels with indoor pools. It is for couples, families and business travellers who want a comfortable base near the falls, the wineries or the historic town of Niagara-on-the-Lake.
Staying in Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls is built around the falls themselves: the Niagara Parkway follows the water, the Fallsview district holds the high-rise hotels that look over it, and Clifton Hill packs attractions, restaurants and family entertainment into one busy street. Niagara-on-the-Lake, about 20 minutes north, trades the crowds for wineries, theatres and a charming main street. The city is easily reached by car on the Queen Elizabeth Way from Toronto and Buffalo, by train, and by bus, and walking covers most of the tourist areas.
The hotels on this list sit in different parts of the region. Several cluster near the falls and the tourist core: Courtyard by Marriott Niagara Falls on Victoria Ave, Country Inn & Suites by Radisson Niagara Falls ON on Victoria Ave, Kings Inn Near The Falls on Ferry Street and Best Western Plus Cairn Croft Hotel on Lundy's Lane. Others name Niagara-on-the-Lake or lie along the river and its approach roads, including Holiday Inn Express Niagara On The Lake, Staybridge Suites Niagara On The Lake, Hilton Garden Inn Niagara on the Lake and Riverbend Inn and Vineyard. It suits couples looking for a quieter inn, families who want pools and family rooms, and business travellers who need a desk, Wi-Fi and parking.
