The Oakes Hotel Overlooking the Falls

We stayed here because our group booked the hotel. Check-in was fast and staff are courteous. House keeping seemed to be working hard to prepare the rooms. Parking 35$ plus taxes ( knew this going in). Room was expensive for the quality. Website mentions fridges. We didn’t have one. Heating / AC not operating. Shower was shifting between burning my body to ice cold. No mixing valves??? Used pizza boxes on the floor in hallway when we arrived and when we left. We’ve stayed at at least a dozen hotels at the Falls, but this is the biggest disappointment for the price charged for the room. Overall the hotel is kept clean. Most likely will not be coming back.

This hotel is beautiful. We got a really nice room on a high floor and the windows were floor to ceiling so the views of the falls were so romantic. We had a whirlpool tub which was big enough for two and a corner suite WITH a gambling package which in total came out to about 289 USD so you really can't beat that! This is a budget option that I wholeheartedly would recommend there were tons of places to sleep and you could easily get a less fancy room and still have falls views for super reasonable. It's close to everything! I wasn't the biggest fan of the pool & hot tub and I wasn't thrilled with the package we chose as far as value goes but that is the ONLY reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5. ?

Hey Travelers, We have stayed in the hotel on the 26 Dec for one night. We did not have much of expectation from this hotel as it did not look like Hilton or Embassy however it was in a good location and had a potential Falls view, we were looking essentially for 2 Q’s or 1 K with Sofa. Which we have received as a complimentary with a falls view, K with sofa. The receptionist that was taking care of us was very polite and friendly and very pleasant to deal with. They are providing coffee/tea 24/7 and they had a pool from 9-9pm, first come first service which is nice. The view was very nice it is the 4th floor so as good as it gets, no complain there though, however the room, was outdated and smelly, as soon as you walk into the room there was that stale smell like old and dusty. That was not the worst, windows were dirty with some webs on them and the curtains rail was broken as I could not even close it to avoid the morning light and it felt as it was so dusty when you touch, king bed was fine and the room and bathroom were fine, but the sofa bed right by the entrance were what made me upset, the mattress was with stains in the back of it and it was dented in the middle as was so old and used and was impossible to sleep on ever for a kid, I am sure that none of the management team kids would appreciate it. I have asked for the mattress to be replaced for obvious reasons, and what I was told by the very nice maintenance guy that come by after an hour and 2 request, which is for another time: that we do not have a stock to replace as they all on the sofa beds . He provided me with some more mattress covers and more covers so I can lift the mattress and make it as comfortable as possible. It is too bad as they also charge some fess and travel fees from $129 to $215 which is very unfair and wrong as we are not travelers but I was not in the state to argue and just wanted to have my peaceful and fun time, the location and the potential is huge, it is too bad that they are not investing and making the afford to improve and make it hospitable and more comfortable. After all the client is looking to stay at the clean nice and friendly place. Their loss there will be plenty of other place to go back or explore next time as we love travel as you all know. Thank you and have a happy new wonderful 2022!!! May this year bring joy and lots of happiness and health to you and your loved once. Stay Safe and happy travels!!! MAYA.

Stayed there on 31st Dec night. We were charged a high rate which was fine for that day, but out of the two window one was completely covered in mist. We had to see the fireworks through one window which is half view. The front office refused to compensate on it, but they offered us a room change for the second night which was good. The second room was nice and looked cleaner with a nice bathroom.

View was wonderful from our falls view room on the 14th floor They say floor to ceiling windows but it only is for a small section on each side of the heater. The bed was so comfortable and when I was setting up I could see the American Falls from the bed. Large closet, nice size room. Big bathroom with walk in shower and a jetted tub. Great location, a block from the incline that takes you down to Table rock. A number of restaurants and casino within walking distance (like within 1-2 blocks if the hotel). Parking is at the hotel, self parking, easy to get in and out. Expensive, but everything is when you are in the falls view area. Vending machine only in lobby, ice machines on select floors. Could use more outlets, a little dated but still a nice room. On our floor there were windows to view the falls that anyone could access. There were ropes outside our windows during our stay since they were working on cleaning the windows. I know it needs to be done but just a little distracting. A note was at the front desk saying we could close our curtains if we were worried about our privacy but we wanted to see the falls as much as possible, that is why we paid more for a falls view room. Someone did go by the window in the morning, it would have been nice if they could have notified us that they would be working on our section since we were getting ready for the day. Would still consider staying again.

Awesome hotel close to the falls and with a spectacular view! The check in process was quick and easy. They even upgraded our room which was so sweet. We originally booked a Fallsview room with a king bed and whirlpool. We were given a suite with the king, whirlpool, an additional queen bed, and a couch/entry area. So nice! Both areas had views of the falls (American and Canadian). The room was absolutely fantastic. The view of the Canadian falls as well as American falls was breathtaking. The view at night with the lights on the falls as well as the next morning during the mini snowstorm and after it was done made the room so worth booking. The bathroom also - with a shower and whirlpool jacuzzi was so nice. Overall, I hope to stay here again. It was such a great experience and I really enjoyed it.

The rooms were okay. The wallpaper was peeling off the walls. The bathroom was fairly small, but okay. The beds were okay. We had a room with 2 beds and 1 bed was fairly hard and the other was nice. The pillows were poor. They were chunky and hard. The TV was small. No microwave, but there is a microwave in the lobby. No breakfast included, only complimentary coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. No coffee maker in rooms. Overall, the rooms were fairly outdated, but good for 1 night. The view was spectacular!! We got a falls view on the 11 floor. We were able to see the firework show from our room window which we all loved a lot. Watch out for the price though. Upfront it seems like a good deal, but once you’re about to pay, then the hidden fees come. There were so many fees that seemed so unnecessary. We thought we were only going to pay $200 for 1 room with 2 queen beds but we ended up paying double that!! If the rooms were better, I wouldn’t be so unhappy. Be aware of all the hidden fees before coming to this hotel

Our first time booking in this place was awesome. We got a good view of the falls from morning to evening plus the sunrise watch were amazing. Staff were very good from the receptionist to their housekeeping.Swimming pool and whirlpool experiences were great. They also have their own parking space. The only comment that I have is that there is no direct access to the work out area, we have to go through the swimming pool door to enter the gym. This means that if the pool is still close there’s no way, one can work out. Over all it was a relaxing stay.
