The verdict

Read it your way

Sheraton Niagara Falls is a high-capacity hotel positioned at the bottom of Clifton Hill that excels at waterfall panoramas. Guests consistently highlight the spacious, renovated rooms outfitted with cozy bedding, modern bathrooms, and balconies overlooking the falls. However, dining on the property is a frequent complaint, with multiple reviewers finding the on-site buffet overpriced and disappointing. 5121917

What travelers noticed

  • The clean and modern rooms consistently deliver high comfort with plush beds, cozy bedding, and fireplaces. 113
  • Guests also praise the spacious bathrooms featuring granite counter tops, tile flooring, walk-in showers, and large tubs. 3128

The catch

  • A quick look at the bathroom also shows you how fresh the design feels, with fantastic lighting, and all the amenities you could need during your visit to Niagara Falls. 17
  • Surprisingly solid shower. It had one of those partially covered open showers but to my surprise the water splatter really didn't make it outside the shower area. The rainfall water pressure was decent, water got hot and stayed hot. Good stuff. 9

  • Jason the assistant general manager was just as fantastic. They made the breakfast experience so enjoyable. They food was just as good too! 19
  • Complimentary Elite Breakfast was better than expected (better than Downtown Toronto at least), full on buffet with omelette station, actually had vegetables and fruits. Loaded up on fibre and other sustenance related things here since Niagara Falls strip doesn't have much to offer on that. 9

  • If you book a falls view room, you're getting a massive window that frames the falls almost like a live painting. During the day, you see powerful water rushing non-stop. At nighttime, the falls lights up in different colors, and it honestly feels magical. 111:30
  • Along with a 20-foot wide window span in the living area of the suite, we also had a floor to ceiling window in the bathroom and a balcony. The views of Niagara Falls were pretty incredible. 15

Room20 mentions · 1 filmed
  • Marriott - We stayed there with a fallsview room, which was amazing! The room was clean and comfy but nothing special other than the view. 5
  • Sheraton was WAY cheaper IF it is a fallsview room I just like the rooms there better. 8
  • The room itself was something of an oversized King room, but with plenty more space. There were two large seating areas, one of which faced the falls. 15
  • The room was spacious with two queen size beds and a small seating area. 3
  • I think we were on the 18th, in a corner suite. The view was incredible and the room was spectacular. There are glass doors that you can open to bring the sound of the falls inside. 5
  • Rooms here are cozy, and well designed, with a Juliette balcony built into the window, giving you unparalleled views and sounds of the natural wonder. 17
  • I like that Sheraton has the Juliette balcony or higher-priced balcony rooms, and the view is still spectacular. 5
  • The only thing missing from the room was a safe. No worries, the front desk led me to a room with personal safes to which I had access 24/7. 3
  • I was able to upgrade my standard room to a suite by using a Suite Night Award (SNA) from having Marriott Bonvoy Titanium status. They let me choose a corner suite that provided a spectacular a view of the falls. Two days before my check-in date, the hotel confirmed my upgrade to this suite. 1
  • Along with a 20-foot wide window span in the living area of the suite, we also had a floor to ceiling window in the bathroom and a balcony. The views of Niagara Falls were pretty incredible. 15
  • The room was pretty big with two TVs, a sofa, and two lounge seats with a king bed and an amazing view of the falls. 1
  • Stunning falls views from Juliette Balcony rooms 14
  • The room had a comfortable bed with ambient bed lighting, a lovely desk, a juliet balcony, sofa, and a fireplace. 8
  • Selected rooms include a Juliette Balcony with audible views of the falls. TripAdvisor guest reviews consistently describe this category as the property's most distinctive offering. 14
  • The highlight of our room was the wall-length, floor-to-ceiling bank of windows leading out to the balcony with sweeping views of the falls. 12
  • If you book a falls view room, you're getting a massive window that frames the falls almost like a live painting. During the day, you see powerful water rushing non-stop. At nighttime, the falls lights up in different colors, and it honestly feels magical. On camera111:30
  • Upon first impression, the room was fabulous. It was between this and the Marriott and this room looked newer since it was renovated. 8
  • However, after further inspection, we realized this room wasn't cleaned properly. Apart from the bed which seemed clean (I Hope), the sofa had some stains on it and so does the desk chair, and the Jacuzzi seemed a little dirty with pieces of hair in it. 8
  • Room 557 had a fabulous view of the falls! 3
  • Loved it! We stayed on the 12th floor and the view was amazing. Could listen to the falls all night and watched the fireworks from our room. 5
Service17 mentions · 1 filmed
  • It stays busy with conference attendees, tour groups, and families to the point that check-in lines can get lengthy at times. 12
  • But fortunately the dedicated SPG lane was open and I skipped a fairly long line for a quick check in. 7
  • The staff with Rosie, Ben, Lina, Jojo, Katrina, Iz , Sidow, and Feysil were so great and helpful!! Jason the assistant general manager was just as fantastic. 19
  • The service at this property wasn't anything special, the staff were professional and friendly. They didn't really do anything standout but overall the staff were kind, professional, and they did their job pretty well. 8
  • I would recommend not staying in any of the motels you see in Niagara Falls or its surrounding suburbs. They are very dirty and generally gross all around. 2
  • Check in was made easier by the large number of front desk personnel. 3
  • The lines moved quickly and the staff were incredibly helpful and pleasant. 17
  • A few service bumps and bruises, but a great location and a clean, comfortable property. 15
  • The Valet hitting a pole in a groomsmen car 9
  • The staff were fantastic, and the on site amenities both within the hotel, and within the wider resort, ensured you had everything you could possibly need within arms length. 17
  • The check-in experience was pretty smooth. The employee at the front desk greeted me and checked me in. 1
  • At only 10,000 points a night, there's no better location for SPG at Niagara Falls. We received an excellent suite upgrade and the property did a great job getting us 3 rooms together while still accommodating the suite upgrade. 15
  • Check-in was really quick and easy, and our room was on the 16th floor, room 1667. 8
  • The check-in process was quick and easy. On camera111:20
  • This property fit neither category, so it shouldn't have been an issue. Again, unlike the Sheraton Centre Toronto, we encountered issues getting a late check-out. 15
  • A very busy, crowded hotel in the heart of the tourist attractions. Good service though, and if you get a room with a view, you'll feel miles away from the crowds! 7
  • The old GM returned somewhat recently (REALLY knows how to run this place...though the person who was in his place for a while was also great). Front desk manager is also excellent. 15
Value13 mentions
  • Hotels in the Falls (whether in the US or Canada) are all tourist traps. They are all stupidly expensive. 2
  • Apart from the bed which seemed clean (I Hope), the sofa had some stains on it and so does the desk chair, and the Jacuzzi seemed a little dirty with pieces of hair in it. It isn't bad, but I wish for a cleaner room especially for such a high price point. 8
  • Perceived value does not match premium location score 14
  • I hadn't tried their breakfast buffet or Massimo's Italian Restaurant, but I had tried the Fallsview Buffet and I have to say it is the most overpriced, terrible restaurant I've ever seen. 8
  • High nightly rates, especially for falls-view rooms 14
  • 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. 6
  • Breakfast buffet isn't worth the price 5
  • Price-wise, it was reasonable although we went during the shoulder season. It is important to note that we also had to pay ~$35 CAD per night for parking, so you need to factor this in as well. Altogether I would highly recommend the Wyndham Grand Fallsview based on price and amenities, but I have never stayed anywhere else in Niagara Falls so I can't compare it to the other options. 2
  • I am a Marriott Bonvoy member but for a fallsview room it was very expensive. 8
  • Bottom Line: Despite some of our issues, this hotel is an excellent value for Starpoints. 15
  • I hadn't tried their breakfast buffet or Massimo's Italian Restaurant, but I had tried the Fallsview Buffet and I have to say it is the most overpriced, terrible restaurant I've ever seen. For $50 per person they put out subpar food with ok flavor, and the only thing that really is decent is the dessert section. 8
  • Rates are competitive, but can spike on weekends, so it may be worth comparing rates with the four-pearl Marriott NiagaraFalls Fallsview Hotel & Spa. 12
  • We stayed at Marriott Fallsview and loved it! The price was definitely worth it in our opinion. 5
View5 mentions
  • For something with Falls view rooms that's unique and out of the ordinary (not by much ) try Tower Hotel. In town we refer to it as the old Minolta Tower. The former observation tower of Niagara, before the Skylon Tower. It was rescued from being turned into an abandoned relic and is now a really classy hotel with an exceptional view. 2
  • Marriott has a much nicer view of the falls, but the Sheraton is much closer to Clifton Hill and activities. 5
  • The view from Marriott 22nd floor was AMAZING! 5
  • Just stayed at Marriott Fallsview. Excellent view from floor 11! 5
  • Floor 6 has a limited view over the trees. We were on the 17th floor of the Marriott and we had a great view and time there. 5
Food18 mentions
  • The lounge itself has very appealing finishes, just not sure the food offerings are worth the extra cash if you're non-Platinum travelers. 15
  • The next morning we had breakfast in Fallsview, again because of convenience. The breakfast was okay, but somewhat lacking. 15
  • For $50 per person they put out subpar food with ok flavor, and the only thing that really is decent is the dessert section. 8
  • I had breakfast at the lounge the next day, and it was good. There was plenty of food options to choose from bacon to fruit to scrambled eggs. 1
  • Breakfast options were a little sparse. There were breads, and a handful of pastries. No eggs, but some cakes and pre-made pancakes as well as fruit and yogurt. 7
  • The food display wasn't very plentiful. There were more options at the Sheraton the previous day, but we were able to find enough items to fill us up before heading out for a day of sightseeing. 15
  • Both upper-floor restaurants emphasize the great views and are popular as a result. 12
  • Complimentary Elite Breakfast was better than expected (better than Downtown Toronto at least), full on buffet with omelette station, actually had vegetables and fruits. Loaded up on fibre and other sustenance related things here since Niagara Falls strip doesn't have much to offer on that. 9
  • Not surprisingly, the buffet was a pretty bad value for adults. There were a few things that were decent, but most was your run-of-the-mill buffet food. 15
  • Jason the assistant general manager was just as fantastic. They made the breakfast experience so enjoyable. They food was just as good too! 19
  • Losing everyone meal choice so some where eating entrees while others hadn't had the 1st course 9
  • The menu at Windows was pretty appetizing and they had a very interesting wine list. 15
  • Fallsview Indoor Waterpark is located on the 20-acre Falls Avenue Resort which offers an incredible variety of dining options. Some of the best restaurants in Niagara Falls are within steps of the Waterpark! 10
  • The two restaurants offer fantastic views and draw diners who aren't staying at the hotel. 12
  • I guess its fine due to its convenience factor, but the dining at this property was subpar. 8
  • Not having steak knives for any of the guests who order steak for dinner 9
  • We did the breakfast buffet here and it was a great way to start the day with a perfect view. They had a huge variety to choose from and the cost was $50 per person. We highly recommend that you eat at this buffet at least once during your stay. 11
  • They seemed to regularly be giving out free samples, too. Also on site is the flagship Italian restaurant Massimo's Italian, which also offers spectacular panoramic views while you enjoy a fantastic menu from celebrity chef Massimo Capra. 17
Bathroom15 mentions · 4 filmed
  • The rooms themselves are spacious, clean, and modern. You've got a well-designed bathroom, comfortable beds, large TV, and a fireplace. Everything feels practical and polished. On camera111:49
  • The bathroom was modern with granite counter tops and tile flooring. 3
  • My only complaint with the room design was that the shower was a little bit tight, but we paid for this room just to have a walk-in shower. 8
  • The bathroom had a nice walk-in shower, toilet, and a jacuzzi and was overall pretty spacious. 8
  • A downright glamorous illuminated mirror, real drinking glasses, plus a proper tub and shower. On camera181:30
  • A quick look at the bathroom also shows you how fresh the design feels, with fantastic lighting, and all the amenities you could need during your visit to Niagara Falls. 17
  • Now here is the room, starting with the bathroom, right beside the door. Clean and sparkling, with plenty of towels too. On camera181:18
  • Surprisingly solid shower. It had one of those partially covered open showers but to my surprise the water splatter really didn't make it outside the shower area. The rainfall water pressure was decent, water got hot and stayed hot. Good stuff. 9
  • Bathrooms are generally spacious, in beige and black marble or granite, with walk-in showers, shower/tub combos, or separate tubs and showers (in some Fallsview Rooms). 12
  • The bathroom though...The shower was not intuitive and the splash guard comes out at a weird angle that makes getting in and out awkward. 7
  • As did the water pressure of the shower above it. You'll find fantastic refillable Gilchrist & Soames toiletries (Body Wash, Shampoo and Conditioner) on the shower wall. 17
  • The bathroom was excellent, there was a nice large tub with a huge window facing the falls, there is also a separate shower, if you're not a fan of taking baths. 1
  • We're not sleeping in the bathroom, so here are two plush queen beds - very comfy - with lamps and an alarm clock. On camera181:48
  • And yes, that's a spa bath, which added nicely to the levels of comfort. As did the water pressure of the shower above it. 17
  • The bathroom was also pretty spacious, with a super big shower. 15

  • The first thing you notice about this hotel is the location. You're right in the heart of Niagara Falls on the Canadian side with quick access to attractions, restaurants, and entertainment. On camera110:41
  • The Sheraton is one of more well-reviewed properties in town and also the best located. 15
  • Love the Sheraton Fallsview. Good views and right in the action on Clifton Hill while still being close to the falls. 5
  • Overall, this hotel hands down nails activities and is really close to some other amazing places in Clifton Hill. 8
  • At only 10,000 points a night, there's no better location for SPG at Niagara Falls. 15
  • Location is convenient for the incline railway 5
  • The area where the Sheraton is located becomes a ZOO for half the year when tourists arrive and the surrounding area is packed and hard to navigate. 8
  • Oyster's editorial review goes further, calling the property's location "one of the best of any hotel in Niagara Falls." 14
  • Sheraton Fallsview is close to two bus stops, restaurants, and across the street to the boat launch. Marriott Fallsview is down by the Horseshoe Falls and in my opinion further away from things. 5
  • "It is the only hotel located directly across the street from Niagara Falls." 14
Bed & Sleep2 mentions
  • The beds were very comfortable, with four good sized pillows per bed. 17
  • Watching the falls from my comfortable queen-sized bed was relaxing. 6
