Niagara Falls - Hilton and Radisson...any comments?
 
Does anyone have any first hand experience w/either one of these hotels? The Radisson looks fairly new. Are they in a good location? Thanks to all who answer.

Hilton is on top of a cliff, overlooking the falls themselves. <BR> <BR>To get to the falls, you take a elevator/tram gadget down the side of the cliff, so from that point of view, the location is fine. <BR> <BR>It's a fairly long walk to the touristy stores, museums, souvenier shops, and casino, though. <BR> <BR>My relatives in NF think the Hilton is very, very expensive, and suggest visitors check out other hotels if price is a consideration. <BR> <BR>Can't comment on the Radisson. <BR> <BR>BAK

Brian, Thanks for the info. I thinnk it might be an advantage being a bit away from all the touristy/tacky places. I got a reasonable rate at the Hilton...USD$126 for a falls view room. I guess going off-season has its advantages. Thansk again.

Hi Mikki, <BR>we just got back from Niagara Falls on Saturday, 7/21/01. We stayed at the Sheraton Fallsview and we loved it. The Radison was right next to the Sheraton and it looked nice, BUT, the Hilton is directly (and I mean directly) in front of the Raddison. The walke to the Maid of the Mist was not a problem. We also walked to the Imax theatre. and the Skylon Tower. Also the Incline railway is just a 5 minute walk from the Hilton. If you have any other questions, let me know
