The Oakes Hotel Overlooking the Falls  

The room we got (after requiring and getting an upgrade for an addidtional $50) was large, beautiful and overlooked the falls.

We booked a room described as "overlooking the courtyard." The room we were given was in an annex of this luxury hotel, probably 40 years older than the main building, and the room overlooked the parking lot. The room was dingy, the furniture old and the carpet stained. I would expect a room like this to go for $49, not the amount we were being charged. We asked for another room, and were offered an upgrade for $50 more in the main building. The new room was lovely, but we didn't feel great about the entire experience.

Big problem with the parking . This hotel should chenge the policies about the parking they charge way to much for parking 15$ for the day way to much compere with the casino parking for only 5$ day

good location. Could see the falls from our room.

Beds too hard, not even, one side more worn than the other. Shower didn't work properly. More water came out of tub faucet than the shower head. Bathroom VERY small.

Excellent location right in the heart of the falls area and right above the Canadian Horseshoe section of the falls, and the rail that takes you straight to the main viewing area and the entrance to behind the falls. A 2 minute walk to the casino and a shuttle service to Remingtons a restaurant at the falls with a great view. The hotel has an indoor heated swimming pool and a tourist desk onsite, that will arrange various tours for you. I was in a premier King suite which was huge in size, although quite dated in decor. The hotel is basic, simple and clean, it is the location that makes it. There was no mini bar, whilst wifi was promised there was no access from my room (I heard loads of folk complaining about this, as you are charged for it) and no hotel restaurant although there is an applebees right next door that will deliver (I ordered one night after a long day and sadly my food arrived cold) .. The staff did not really go out of their way to be helpful, and I found them slightly lazy .. I asked about restaurants, they just passed on brochures, I asked about transfers to Toronto aiport and they just passed on phone numbers, I asked about tours and the just pointed to the desk (the gent was not there) ...my tray from applebees sat outside my room for two days ...(exception was the bellman when I was leaving, who was a gem)... If you are after a basic hotel close to the falls then this is good value, however the service is sadly lacking.

Location

Front desk staff were rude carpets were very dirty long long walk from elevator to room showers were smelly

view

carpets dirty, bedding needs update

I didn"t get the highest floor that I was prefer prior to booking in Advance!. The Price was show @ the time were show when checking at the Web, By the time they confirm were difference value, not please to that, Sunday Stay should be lot Lower price do to Summer is over and the Town are vacance than Weekend!!Rather than have some people booking at lower price on Sunday than No less incomes for the hotel.

The Oak Hotel is ok! It's nothing fancy but the rooms were clean, the price was right, and the falls side view was pretty good as long as your on the 7th or 8th floor. Anything bellow the 7th floor and your looking at trees. To get to the falls you need either pay $2.50/per person to take the rail cart which is just outside the hotel or walk around to a side street about 5 to 10 minutes to get to the base of the Falls. The Fallsview Casino is a 3 minute walk. All day breakfast across the street $6.95/person; they get you when you order your drink $, but the food selection was ok the food taste/quality was great. Going to the Old Niagara Casino is 20 minute walk. Overall for the rates compared to the other hotels... I stay again for a night or two as the hotel had everything I needed.

The fitness center consist of 2 treadmills. The toilet flushing system is loud as you hear all of the rooms flush there toilets in the morning, not good if your trying to sleep in. The parking lot is always full at night but will get a spot you may just need to walk a little further.Overall nothing to deter me from staying there again.

It was a good sized room and the jacuzzi looked like it was kept clean. The bathroom looked like it was maintained well.

I didn't like that the room wasn't cleaned daily. I was also expecting a little more.

I liked the location of the hotel because it has one of the best views of the Falls.

We booked a Fallsview Suite and got the lowest floor possible and wasn't able to see 100% of the falls. We were only able to see about 50% of the falls.

the best part was the pool.

The rooms were not as clean as they should have been.

The tub.

The view of the falls was amazing!

The cleanness of the room
