    Room was fairly clean, as far as motel rooms go. I liked how each room has its own unique decor - made it feel home-y. Parking is free, which is a plus compared to motels closer to the falls. The owners are great at accommodating special requests, like I mentioned a bar fridge with a freezer being important to me, and they made sure I got a room with a larger freezer. I would like to see a deadbolt added to the door for extra security, or one of those bars that flips across. In the room I stayed in, there's just a doorknob lock that you turn. I was there in late September with temps in the mid 20s. The provided fan was adequate. Don't know how it would be in July, as there's no air conditioner. Also, a box of Kleenex would be a nice touch to add to the room : ). But in most respects, a real decent place to stay!

    We had a great stay. Clean, comfy, well located for short drives to local attractions. Our room's decor was fun; we had a small table with a couple chairs both inside & outside the room, which was nice for snacking. Nice bathroom.

    Nice short stay to visit the Falls! Room was clean. No in-unit AC or heat. Thankfully we had good weather while there but don’t know how hot/cold it would be in different seasons. Bed wasn’t very comfortable (as expected). Helpful to have in room mini fridge. Convenient 5 min drive to the Falls area. Property owner is a nice man!

    Although renovated and clean, the room was small with a smaller TV but did enjoy a fridge, microwave and toaster oven. No air and adjacent a busy road.

    The motel was nice in general, and the room was alright despite being small. There is no AC unit in the room. The motel has some sort of central air system, but it's not good. The motel is on a main road, and it was noisy from all of the passing cars. This motel is self check in and self check out. The motel is far from the falls.

    The Rex Motel was Absolutely Beautiful inside and such a close drive to Niagara Falls and Clifton Hill. Next time we visit we will stay at the Rex Motel again. It was so so so much nicer than the hotel we stayed at in NY. It was VERY clean, and very close to attractions along with places to eat. If I could give it more that 5 stars I would. We absolutely loved it here. We did have a mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker in the room which was so great to have. There was also a 2 person seating area with a nice table for meals.

    This old roadside motel has been kept clean and cared for. There is nothing over the top at this resaonably priced motel, but its clean and covers all the basics. Microwave, mini fridge, coffee maker, tv, clean towels & linens, some basic toiletries are all in the room.

    5/5

    Everything was clean and there were no smells. Bathroom was very clean. Large king bed. Small table to sit at. There was a fridge, microwave and coffee maker. You were not able to control the AC as it is Central for all of the units. However, the rooms were relatively cool even through the heatwave that we were having. A few nice things to have would be a USB charging port in the room and better hooks for the towels to be hung on to dry.

    The property and Motel is nostalgic. It character is a glimpse of the past. It is well kept and very clean. There were no hidden surprise fees. When they offer free wifi, it is free wifi and not throttled bandwidth coaxing me to spend more for full bandwidth. The staff was extremely friendly and professional. What's not to like.

    Such a cute hotel. Check in & out was super smooth. The floor in the room I stayed in could use a little work, but the bed was comfy, shower was nice, the AC was cold (with help from the fan in the room) & the location was good for me.

    One must admit that the place and property facilities/conditions which included towels, conditioner, tv, hairdryer, code machine, microwave and fridge were totally great, everything worked and for this kind of price I think that’s incredible accommodation!! Moreover, I definitely will give this motel 5/5 and recommend everyone to choose if for quick stay while you having fun in Niagara Falls.

    It’s very clean and free of bugs. Fresh air from two windows. We needed help and the staff came to help within 5 mins. It’s a motel so I wouldn’t expect a five star hotel stay, but highly recommend for a few days stay in Niagara fall area if you want a comfy stay with lower budget. We saved money on the hotel and went to the Skylon restaurant instead for the views. Worked really well

    This was a cute updated motel. Since there is no staff on site, we had no ice, room cleaning or fresh towels. But the location is good in that it was not far to drive to the main areas around Niagara Falls, and it is located on a main road toward those places. The parking is right in front of your room, and the room was very clean.

    4/5

    This is a perfectly good place to stay in Niagara Falls, without the frenetic activity of the major hotels and at half or a third of the price, depending on when you go. The room is a good size and quite pretty with painted walls and there was a mural in my room, the bed is comfortable, the sheets are clean, and there is a fridge with a decent-sized freezer and a microwave. The coffee in the room literally tastes like nothing, so be prepared to go out for a cup. There is a nice basket with rolled towels in the bathroom and good-quality toilet paper, which I would not have expected. It is a bit noisy during the daytime due to the location, but no problem at night. Be aware that there is no maid service, so you'll have to make your own room up and walk around used towels. You have to pick up new towels (and an iron, if you need one) in the registration area. Great shwarama place across the street!

It seemed clean and the owner seems extremely nice! Definitely recommend for a a cheap few nights while you explore Niagara!

    The Rex Motel is a nice place to stay for the price. The grounds outside definitely need maintenance as they are overrun with weeds. The room was small but clean as we expected. Nothing exceptional overall, just a place to sleep, shower and be close to the falls (less than 2 miles away). You can find parking near the falls ranging from $10 to $50 a day. Overall this an average stay, we did not expect big hotel services or amenities and this suited us just fine. If you plan on spending tons of time in your room I would say look elsewhere, but again to sleep and get ready to go out and about the day this was perfect for the price.

    I grew up in Niagara and for decades drove by this place and never gave it a thought. I had to come “home” for a few days and needed a place to stay. I didn’t want to pay tourist rates for a noisy room and stumbled upon the Rex. Reviews were positive and I took a shot. I was pleasantly surprised at the state of the room, the friendly greeting I received, the quick response for an additional blanket and the quietness at night. One thing that amazes me was the mini fridge had a separate door on top for a decent size freezer. Never saw that before and was impressed.

    I liled that it felt more like a home than a motel. We stayed there for a week and it was great. I do wish that they gave us new towels and changed out purs since we were there for a week but it was fine. I could have asked and im sure they would have but It wasnt a big issue at all so i didnt bother, just wpuld be nice :) overall, we loved it!

    This place was very clean, the person running it is rude and unprofessional. We rang the doorbell, he handed me a piece of paper and the key and closed the door, He answers the phone by saying hello, I had no idea I was calling a motel, he has no manners or courtesy what so ever. The room was very clean but no air conditioning, it was hot. Also we had to open the windows and the traffic noise was terrible all night long, it is very close to a very busy road. I would not stay there again.
