This will have to be in a many parts since I have lots of pics.
It took us seven hours to get from Ohio to Niagara Falls Canada. We stopped and ate a late lunch at the very last Cracker Barrel on I90 before hitting the border.
No problem with the Canadian border authority. The guy didn’t even check our ids! Just asked “Where ya from? Where ya going?” So that was easy.
We arrived at the Niagara Hilton in the early afternoon and it was in the upper 50’s and overcast. Since the Hilton was as much a part of our trip as the actual falls I am including lots of pictures and info on it.
Valet parking at the Hilton and we went into the lobby and checked in.
There was a great little coffee bar and beverage center in the lobby, as well as a three story window with a waterfall cascading down it into the pool. A two story slide is also in the pool but the pics didn't turn out. The lobby bar was great because it allowed us to sit and have a drink while waiting for a shuttle or just a place to relax casually without going to our rooms.
We went up the elevator to the 30th floor. There was an LCD tv in it used for advertising and Hilton information.
Our two bedroom suite was on the 30th floor, room 3015, with views of
the falls and the city. A whirlpool tub, complimentary coffee station and lots of space were a few of the features. The 33rd floor houses the restaurant and bar.
Coffee bar.
One bedroom in the suite boasted a city view.
While the other overlooked both the city and the falls. There are three sets of falls, this one is called the "American" falls. The famous horseshoe falls are to the right of it. I'll show that later.
The best part of the suite for me personally was the bathroom!
We unpacked and headed out on foot. Those pictures will be in the next article.
Heh.
