The main reason to visit Niagara Falls is to see the falls, and one of the most memorable ways to do just that is to sport a poncho and hop on a Maid of the Mist boat. These boats have been shuttling visitors to and from the base of the falls since the 1840s, but today’s fleet is sustainably all-electric. Be prepared to get wet: The Maid of the Mist practically dunks you under the falls, but rain gear is provided, and many say that this is one of the best ways to experience the splendor of the American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls and the Horseshoe Falls.

On the Journey Behind the Falls, you'll be able to stand directly behind the roaring sheet of water and get a literal behind-the-scenes peek at this magnificent natural attraction. The tour begins with an elevator ride to an observation deck where you can take in the view of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls and the Niagara River. From there, follow the 130-year-old caverns and enjoy the roaring curtain of the falls from a different perspective. 

If you enjoy history, make sure to save time for a visit to Old Fort Niagara. Located on the U.S. side of the falls, this 17th-century fort has changed hands between French, British and American troops. This site has seen action during numerous wars, including the American Revolution and the French and Indian War, making it the longest operational fort in North America. Today, the fort occupies one of the most scenic areas in western New York, overlooking both Lake Ontario and the Niagara River. 

This casual hotel is only a 5-minute walk to the Niagara River; a 14-minute walk to the Cave Of the Winds, which has viewing platforms alongside Bridal Veil Falls; and a 17-minute walk to the Aquarium of Niagara.

Down-to-earth rooms have Wi-Fi, minifridges and flat-screen TVs, as well as Keurig coffeemakers. 

Suites add microwaves, and living rooms with pull-out sofas; upgraded suites feature whirlpool tubs.

Amenities include a laid-back bar/restaurant, a heated indoor pool and a 24-hour fitness center, plus a coin-operated laundry. 

Note: Check in time is 4:00pm EST for this hotel, however because your train will be arriving in New York at 9:00 a.m.  I will make arrangements for you to check in at 10:00 a.m.
