    The staff was lovely and very helpful. The hotel is old and could use some updating. The room was very spacious and clean. Whatever products they use to clean with have an overpowering smell.

    Great location, friendly and helpful staff, and free parking. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed for a short stay. We also loved the beautiful Art Deco architecture. Highly recommended! The breakfast could be better. I didn't like the use of disposable plates and cutlery—it feels a bit cheap and doesn't match the hotel's stylish Art Deco atmosphere.

    We stayed for our 25th anniversary. The hotel was cool. The bartender was a very charming gentleman and the staff was pretty great too. I did think the room we stayed in was cool but it had a lot of cobb webs and dust. The TV was jankey and it didn't come in clearly on some stations. Not a smart TV either. Asked for a robe, nope. Said they were all taken. That was odd I thought. Our AC unit dripped onto the rug and made a huge wet spot. Im sure it does that everytime someone stays in that room and uses air conditioning so I wondered about mold. Breakfast was plentiful but was cheap. The eggs are probably egg beaters or powder, sausage was not very edible, but the French toast was good. Coffee? Excellent. All and all, the hotel has its charms for sure but it really needs a good cleaning. It was good but not great. Probably would not stay again.

    The hotel is an impressive building from the outside albeit a little worn inside and it is in a really good location for the Falls I don't normally complain but in this case I feel I have to. All of the plumbing pipes in the rooms are exposed. This wouldn't have been a problem except they were really noisy. At times we felt we were staying in a factory not a hotel due to the noise. I wore ear plugs at night and I could still hear them and sometimes they were so loud they woke me despite the ear plugs. When I asked the reception about them they couldn't have cared less. They said oh you are on the fourth floor so you are hearing the plumbing from all the floors above you. As evidence of the sheer lack of care from this hotel the breakfasts were also dismal.

    Excellent nostalgic property with great history. Great staff, breakfast in the morning was good. (Needs Hotter Hot SAUCE). Walking distance to falls, casino, and other sites. So it is a bit dated but thats part of what makes it great. Has a bar, wish it opened a bit before 5 and stayed open at least till 12. Free coffee all day. Cookies free at night. What more could you ask for. Again, the staff was excellent. You feel welcomed.

    The building is a 19 story art deco masterpiece. The lobby is that of an apartment building, so not spacious like today's hotels but very classy and the staff were genuinely friendly and helped with issues. The elevators were very quick for such a big building and we were right in the middle of town and close to the attractions. Our room had 12ft ceilings and felt very spacious. Lights automatically came on when we entered. Breakfast wasn't my favorite, but we also came down when it was very busy. We would stay there again.

    The GM Lenny paid great attention to detail and gave great recommendations on local places to eat. The lobby bar was full of energy. You would be making a huge mistake if you did not stop by and grab a drink and an appetizer!! Kevin, the bartender, was fantastic! He made you feel like you are a regular customer. A+

    We spent two days without heating and air. They kept telling us they had no rooms to change us to, and that the 4th and 5th floor were all under the same conditions. Our room phone did not work so we had to call the front desk via cell and went down multiple times to see when they would have an estimate. We also reported the large stain in the room that was wet when we checked in, and that we did not have the robes. We reported that one because we were not going to pay for property damage, and secondly there is a charge of $75 per robe if taken. There were also dead bugs in the windows that had fallen from the curtains. The manager never followed up with us. This was a weekend trip to celebrate our 25th Anniversary, would I recommend this establishment not in its current condition. The pros to this location is that it’s a short distance from the Falls, and the 19th floor Skylounge. We met some lovely ladies from England and they best described this hotel as tired. That is a great statement for the hotel. They need to update their HVAC systems and over all have better follow through. I did enjoy the artwork, decor, and location, but would love to see them improve the customer experience and the HVAC systems.

    The TV was in our room was controlled by a motion sensor mounted high up on the wall & pointed at the bed. The TV turned off by itself while we were watching a program. We complained to the front desk. The clerk related it was on a motion sensor. The goal may be to conserve energy, but the effect is big brother is watching you.

    We enjoyed our stay. Our room was beautiful, the tub was fantastic, the fireplace perfect for cold winter nights and romantic atmosphere. The skylounge was great except no one warns you that last 3 flights of stairs have to be walked. The breakfast was awful though. The food was cold, the coffee was basically water and the waffle mix was so thin that it made a shell of a waffle. .

    I arrived to the property to check in where the front desk agent argued that I didn’t have a reservation when I clearly did and she was looking at the wrong day. I then get assigned my room and parking and go upstairs to a room that was a horror show. The room was filthy with a dirty bathroom and bed. The room and entire hallway reeked of marijuana and cigarette smoke when it’s a non smoking property and there were individuals smoke in the stairwell. After trying to clean and make it work I finally decided to go down to the desk and ask to be moved and was told there were no rooms and no person on site that could do a room change and I would have to come back later which I did and was given the same message. I left to go get dinner and return to my assigned parking spot with another car in it so I went to the desk and a new agent proceeds to argue with me that I didn’t have a parking spot so I had to go to my car and get my parking paper to show her and she was informed that I had checked out so she had reassigned the parking spot. She also again was looking at the wrong days. I have photos of the broken heater, broken shower, broken bathroom heat lamp, broken toilet etc. I don’t typically leave reviews like this but this place is very misleading and there is no way their reviews are from actual guests. I want future guests to know where they are staying. This place was a complete nightmare and further more they didn’t even shovel and salt their sidewalk.

Never once greeted without an amazing smile and a warm hello. The young lady by the name Quetina (truest apologies if I butchered the spelling) is a huge asset for their business. She makes you feel like family. We had an issue with securing an Uber for an event that we had a set time for arrival to attend, she went so far as to call and make arrangements for us a ride on her own. We 100% recommend a stay.

    What a neat historical hotel! The hotel was beautiful and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Our room was very cozy and very well furnished. We really enjoyed the extra sitting area in the evening. The breakfast was very good too! Really appreciated the free coffee and cookies available in the entry and the bar was super nice. Probably the best part of this hotel was the great location! Right down the street from The Niagara State Park! The staff told us we could go up to the very top floor and view the fireworks they did over the Falls every night too! That was a great way to view them! The area around the hotel had several restaurants and the parking was in a secure gated lot right across the street. If your going to the park, this is definitely the hotel to stay in!

    It's equivalent to the Holiday Inn Express. Tje pictures make it look much more elegant than it is. The breakfast was continental, with powered eggs and sausage pucks in warmers. Very disappointed. Should have just booked with one of the nearby hotels and saved the $80, gotten a good breakfast elsewhere.

    Gorgeous hotel! We stayed in suite 1302. The only concern we had was the fire alarm going off for 25 minutes on a Saturday morning and none of the staff seemed to know what was going on. Meanwhile all guests were standing outside speculating because no staff came out to communicate. This was the ONLY issue we had during our stay.

    1. Carpeting in room is worn nd looking shabby around doorways. 2. Large, tiled shower. However, floor was slippery and there was no rubber mat or grab bars. Any elderly person, of someone with balance issues could easily fall. 3. Shower pressure could be improved.

    Friendly staff on reception. Secure free parking just across the street. Good breakfast. Only a short walk from Rainbow Bridge so great location. We found the room quite dark as the lighting was limited and there were no bedside tables which was a nuisance, but otherwise the stay was good.

    The hotel was very historical in feel, the staff was very generous pleasant and helpful. We had a minor issue upon arrival but they managed to resolve the situation with elegance and upgraded our room to a beautiful suite free of charge which was totally awesome. If we are ever back in the Niagara area we will definitely be staying there again. Also it is literally a 5 minute walk to the Niagara Falls state park and if you want to go to the casino it’s a short 5 min walk there also.

    The hotel is quite dated and hasn’t been renovated in years. The rooms have a strong, unpleasant odor, likely from previous smoking, despite being non-smoking rooms. The carpets and curtains are old and stained. The only positive aspect is the great location, just a couple of minutes from Niagara Falls Park.

    Property was nice but very aged. The rooms are considered “smart rooms” meaning if no motion is detected, then all electrical is shut off. So your phones etc will not fully charge during the night. Overall the stay was okay, rooms are aged and our carpet was stained and torn. Location is great though, close to Rainbow Bridge to crossover to Canada and close to casino if that’s your thing.

    Good room size, location is close to the falls - rest all is terrible. Dirty furniture in the room, really dates drapes and curtains, parking lot is across the street and reminds you of dodgy parking lots around sports stadiums. Con webbed entrance gates and entry pads. Bed won’t be made if you leave something innocuous as a dress behind on it. Staff quite defensive and unable to help when you bring these items to their attention.

    The bad.... our room was awful. The air conditioner was mounted to the ceiling along with rusted pipes, and would randomly buzz super loud for 5 or so minutes at a time. It made for a rough nights sleep due to its sporadic and loud startling noise. There was a large blob of (im hoping food) splattered on the wall. The bathroom was dirty and had hair on the floors. The wallpaper was peeling from the walls, and the setup of furniture and how the doors swung made it feel clustered. To the hotel staffs credit, we did not complain, so we never gave them a chance to fix it. We just arent complainers. I feel like this was probably a really nice hotel at one time but felt run down and uncared for. Sadly that seems to be the theme of all the businesses in that area. Felt like the run down areas of Detroit. "The slums". Id recommend staying on the Canadian side of the Falls and just visiting the US side for a few hours.

    Room was on the 14th floor, their old Hospitality suite. Large with a view of Falls and summer fireworks. Convenient walk to everything in Niagara Falls park, which is nice, but outside of about a four block radius, neighborhood is VERY sketchy. Staff is helpful and friendly, HOWEVER, the room was not super clean, there is NO room service at all, or laundry. When we specifically booked for those reasons. We asked the front desk and we were told that there are people that live in the buildings “condos” that can have laundry done every Wednesday, and if you were a long term guest MAYBE they could throw your in. We were there for a special celebration and wanted to order room service, we were told no room service at all. There is a bar downstairs open 5-10pm. No food or other options. Pictures of the rooms show. Show art deco furniture and curtains, and a pool table. We paid over $425 a night for a suite that had none of that either. Whirpool “jetted” tub was not working either. We confronted them about all the amenities that were listed on the website and they just smiled and shrugged their shoulders!?No compensation offered. Pretty unhappy. Breakfast and beds were good.

    It's a 100+ year old building, so don't expect much. There were loud water flowing sounds at night that woke us up. We thought we had a large leak in our bathroom. But the noise was elsewhere.

    Interesting hotel, especially Art deco design. Lighting in room was odd; the lamp on one side of the bed was too high to reach without standing up. There were, I think, 5 tall lamps scattered in the room. Also, the heating/AC system seemed impossible to shut off and gurgled a great deal. Finally, the bathroom floor was very slippery when wet and there should be additional grab bars. On the plus side, the bed was compfy, the room pretty quiet, the location superb, the breakfast above average and price was right.

    - The Giacomo has the best view of the Falls. It is the highest building located adjacent to the park on the US side. We brought a few drinks with us to the skyview lounge on the 19th floor and enjoyed the beautiful fireworks. - The location is very convenient. It is among a handful of hotels/inns in the area where everything is within walking distance. - We enjoyed the complimentary breakfast. The dining hall could get a bit congested during peak time, but the experience was certainly a plus to what had already been a positive experience. - All the staff members were friendly and courteous. Lenny (who I believe is the general manager?) went above and beyond to accommodate any requests we had. Thank you! - All the restrooms--in our room, the bar, the skyview lounge--were extremely clean and well-maintained which is always a very important factor in my book. Overall, I would recommend this establishment and would stay here again if I am able visit again in the future.
