- I spent two nights at the Sheraton Fallsview Hotel on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls.
- Upgraded guest rooms with views of the falls come with floor-to-ceiling windows.
- For $500 a night, I had some of the best views of Niagara Falls of my entire trip — right from bed.
I’ll never forget stepping into Canada. In August 2022, I walked over the Rainbow Bridge, stopping briefly in the middle to watch and listen to the roaring Niagara Falls on my left.
Just 10 minutes later, I was standing in front of the Sheraton Fallsview Hotel, stoked to see the epic force of nature flow from my bedroom for the next two nights.
For $500 a night, I had prime views of the falls from the moment I woke up to the second I fell asleep. It was definitely worth the price.
The Sheraton Fallsview is a popular hotel that faces Niagara Falls on the Canadian side, making it an exceptional place to stay if you want to enjoy front-row views at every turn.
According to Tripadvisor, Niagara Falls, Ontario, has more than 200 hotels ranging from one to four stars.
The Sheraton Fallsview, part of the Marriott Bonvoy hotel collection, is a four-star hotel. Rooms range from an interior view starting at $150 to guest rooms and suites with views of the falls, which cost between about $190 and $425, according to a recent search for bookings a month in advance.
My room was more expensive since I visited in the summer during the high tourism season.
I chose the Sheraton Fallsview because of its reputation as the best hotel for prime views of all three falls.
Since my entire trip was about seeing Niagara Falls, I decided to upgrade to a premium 258-square-foot Fallsview room with a direct view for my two-night stay.
From my room, I saw the American Falls on the left, Bridal Veil Falls in the middle, and Horseshoe Falls, the U-shaped falls on the right.
The lobby was similar to other hotels I’ve been in. There was plenty of seating for guests waiting to check in or out.
Although I didn’t get a chance to use them, the hotel had some great amenities, such as a spa, gym, and rooftop pool.
My room came with floor-to-ceiling windows and a door — though there was no actual balcony to go out on. It just offered a better glimpse of Niagara Falls.
When I opened the door, I could hear the water crashing down.
It was relaxing to watch the falls from my comfortable queen-sized bed.
There were nightstands with lamps on either side of the bed. Between the bed and the window was a sitting area with a couch, chair, and coffee table.
Each morning, I hopped out of bed and opened the door to get ready to the sounds of the falls. I thought it was a peaceful way to start the day.
To the left of the main room, the bathroom had a rainfall shower head.
The bathroom also had a lit vanity and a second shower head.
After the sun went down, I enjoyed spectacular views that I didn’t expect.
At night, the Niagara Falls Illumination board projected color-changing lights onto the water from the Illumination Tower and the Table Rock Centre rooftop, according to Niagara Parks.
At 10 p.m., the lights were coupled with a fireworks display.
The fireworks show runs every night at 10 p.m. from late May to early October, according to Niagara Falls Live.
Seeing the fireworks show from my bed was a happy surprise, and I thought it made the nightly $500 price worth it. I would book it again, as long as it’s fireworks season. If not, I’d try another hotel with a different view of the falls.
