More about Rodeway Inn Fallsview
Friendly staff, great room, excellent stay!
by TripAdvisor Member original_ck1
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Rodeway Inn Fallsview. It was very conveniently located within walking distance of many restaurants and attractions, including the Incline Railway to the Falls, the Fallsview Casino, and the Skylon Tower. The staff was very friendly and helpful with recommendations on what to do and where to eat. The room itself was over and above what you would expect in a room of this price range and included some added extras, such as dual sinks, a sitting area, and an awesome view of the Fallsview area. Overall, an outstanding deal for the money!
A Great Buy and Location
by TripAdvisor Member Diane from WI
We stayed at the Rodeway for two nights August 3-5th. I was very pleased with the accommodations especially after comparing the prices with other area hotels. We arrived a night early and had to overnight at the Vacation Inn which was pricer and nowhere as nice as the Rodeway.
The rooms are quite spacious- ours was on the second floor with a peaked ceiling that made the room feel even larger. The room had two sink areas plus a vanity equipped with a coffee maker. Two queen size beds, a table and chairs as well as an armoire with a TV. The room was spotlessly clean.
The hotel is within a short walk of the Falls and Fallsview Casino. There were many restaurants within walking distance that would please any palate or budget. Of particular note, the hotel has a free standing Italian restaurant in its parking lot that is EXCELLENT and quite reasonably priced. They offered many choices of take back to the room, an air-conditioned restaurant or a pleasant patio area to dine outside.
There is also a small cafe open just for breakfast- short order style-nothing fancy but very good food-again at a reasonable price.
The staff and service was friendly and informative. They were eager to offer advice on just how to approach the sightseeing to give us the most for our time. They also had the multi-passes available that include the must do tourist activities.
My only complaint was that the pool needs to be redone. My teenagers enjoyed the pool both evenings as did other families. However, it was not as well maintained (a few leaves etc) as other pools and it looks as if it could stand a resurfacing. That being said, it is totally adequate.
Granted this is a motor hotel/motel. But it represents a great value and location for your Niagara Falls stay.
No surprises. Pretty much what I expected.

It was nice enough for the weekend. There were no surprises. The pictures linked to TripAdvisor are pretty much what you will get. It does have an older section and a new addition. We stayed in the new addition and it was good. The lady at the front desk was very nice and very informative. The walk to the falls was 2-3 blocks, but not very close to Clifton Hill, which is busy and noisy anyway so that maybe a good thing. Good accomodations for the price.
Wonderful

In a town largely intent upon ripping you off this motel is a refreshing and welcome oasis. Rooms were clean, people were very friendly and helpful, breakfast restaurant was good and location was great. Absolutely no negatives at all. i highly recommend this to you.
What A Deal !!

If you are looking to pay a high price for a standard room in one of those
big name hotels with the fancy lobbies, don't stay here. If it is a spacious
room at a great price, this is for you. My wife and recently spent three nights and were very impressed not only with our room, but the staff. We
truly felt more like invited guests than income generators.
The location is also conveniently located wihin walking distance of the incline
to the falls area, the Falls View Casino and good restaurants. On the property is Zappy's which is nothing fancy, but the food is good ( great pizza ) and again reasonable prices, owned by a longtime local family.
Staying here contributed greatly to a very enjoyable visit to the falls area.
Thanks for the memories.
Excellent Place
by TripAdvisor Member trvlr1999
We stayed 3 nights, very nice, spacious, and very clean. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Zappi's is right on the premises and had very good pizza. Walking distance to many things, only two blocks to the falls. Excellent value, would definitely stay again, mainly because of the outstanding staff.
Low cost, good standard functional accommodation
by TripAdvisor Member Manx_on_tour
If you are looking for good, cheap accommodation within a 10 minute walk to the Falls then this might be for you.
Motel-type accommodation located in the Falls View area. We felt this was preferable from the more commercialised Clifton Hill area (approx 15 minute walk away). Our room was very large as was the king size bed. The room was clean and there were two sinks and large bath.
Some of the decor and equipment was a little dated but for just over CAN$60 per night I won't grumble too much about that.
It does not have lots of facilities but there is an on-site coffee shop serving breakfasts and the pizza house located next door offers free delivery. There is a small swimming pool too. There was free parking too - another bonus as there are parking fees on the Falls Parkway overlooking the Falls.
There are lots of places to eat in the area and as mentioned the walk to the falls is only about 10 minutes - even less if you use the incline railway - cost CAN $2 each way.
One small gripe - there was no lift. Maybe a problem for less mobile guests.
Bigger, and no doubt more expensive chains are within 200m. This is not a glitzy hotel with lots of facilities but if you are looking for something cheap and functional it will serve you very well.
Note - it does warn you on their website but this hotel does not have a view of the Falls.
This is all you need!

I gave it excellent because it is for the money you spend. I read previous reviews and that made me try them. I paid $59 canadian a night for a hotel that is within walking distance of the falls. You can't beat that. The room was clean - a little worn on the carpet. Staff was very nice. No hassles.
Little Gem Among the Giants
by TripAdvisor Member barto601
We just returned from our stay at the Rodeway Inn (9th & 10th) and were more than pleased with this site. When paying $53.00 (Canadian) or $46.00 (US) per night, we weren't sure what to expect, but the reviews were so positive that we gave it a shot. Our king room was spacious, and the bed itself was neat in that it reminded you of an old-fashioned bed that requires a step stool (the bed was high). They even do the blanket between two sheets as an added touch. There were the typical ammenities like coffee maker, hair dryer, iron and ironing board, but they also had a full closet and extra sink with a large vanity.
The friendly staff knew the area and offered suggestions or directions if needed. The breakfast restaurant was good and inexpensive. The motel was a short walk to the falls and new casino.
What this motel lacks in extra pecks (indoor pool, exercise room, etc.) it makes up in being clean, comfortable, and in a great location. We would definitely stay here again.
Average but Economical

The Rodeway is a Motel lodging. No elevator..stairs only.
My husband I were on a budget for this mid-winter getaway so we picked the Rodeway. Our room was clean but was smelled like a little smoky for a "non-smoking room". Hotel staff were great. Nothing fancy but worth the price.
