Niagara Falls Hotels Near the Two Casinos

Niagara Falls, Ontario has two casinos: Fallsview Casino Resort on the hill above the Horseshoe Falls, and Casino Niagara near Clifton Hill and the Rainbow Bridge. The hotels on this page are not casinos themselves, and none of them lists a gaming floor in its description. What they offer is a short walk to one or both casinos, plus the things a casino night does not cover: river-view rooms at the Niagara Falls Marriott Fallsview Hotel & Spa, kitchenettes at Cannery Lofts Niagara, or the indoor heated pool at the Ramada near the Falls. I picked them for location, guest scores and what you get once you leave the tables.

Niagara Falls, Ontario packs two worlds into a few streets: the falls and the Niagara Parkway along the gorge, and the lights of Clifton Hill and the Fallsview district on the slope above them. The two casinos stand at either end of that strip, so most hotels here are a walk away from both the water and the gaming tables.

Choosing between Fallsview and Clifton Hill

I rank these hotels on three things: how far they are on foot from Fallsview Casino Resort or Casino Niagara, how guests score them, and what the room gives you between two casino visits. The Tower Hotel at Fallsview scores 8.9 out of 10 and is a short walk from the Fallsview casino and the Skylon Tower, while Cannery Lofts Niagara and Serene Niagara Inn both reach 9.2. Keep in mind that the gaming floors in Ontario only admit guests aged 19 and over.

The Fallsview district is where most visitors sleep when the casino is the main reason for the trip. The Niagara Falls Marriott Fallsview Hotel & Spa has river-view rooms, a fitness center and a concierge, and it sits a short walk from the Fallsview entertainment district. With 4,610 reviews and a score of 8.0, it is the most reviewed hotel on this page. The Tower Hotel at Fallsview is the other strong choice on this side of town, with city or river views, a family-friendly restaurant serving American food, and the Skylon Tower a few minutes away on foot.

If you prefer Casino Niagara, look at hotels closer to Clifton Hill and the Rainbow Bridge. Cannery Lofts Niagara, rated 9.2 from 2,043 reviews, is close to the Rainbow Bridge and the Skylon Tower, and every room has a kitchenette and a dining area, which helps on a long weekend when you do not want to eat out for every meal. It also has a 24-hour front desk, useful when you come back late from the tables. From this end of town, the Niagara Parkway follows the river south past the American Falls toward the Horseshoe Falls and the Fallsview casino.

A casino trip with people who do not gamble needs something else in the building. Ontario only admits guests aged 19 and over to the gaming floors, so anyone younger in your group will spend the evening elsewhere. The Ramada by Wyndham Niagara Falls near the Falls has an indoor heated pool and family suites, and the Days Inn by Wyndham Niagara Falls Centre St By the Falls adds an indoor pool and a fitness center. Both are rated above 8 by guests. An indoor pool matters here, because Niagara winters are cold and the casinos stay open all year while the boat tours stop.

Not everyone wants to sleep next to the slot machines. Serene Niagara Inn, rated 9.2 from 485 reviews, has a garden, a lounge and a daily breakfast, continental or full English/Irish, which makes it the calmest option on this list. The Diplomat Inn has a hot tub, a sun terrace and free private parking, and it is a short walk from the Skylon Tower. For a group of friends planning a casino weekend together, the Bentley Commons Fallsview townhouse has four bedrooms, four bathrooms and a fully equipped kitchen, although with only 15 reviews it has a shorter track record than the hotels around it.

A traveler's take

If I were planning a casino weekend in Niagara Falls, I would book the Tower Hotel at Fallsview: it is a short walk from Fallsview Casino Resort and the Skylon Tower, and guests rate it 8.9. My advice is to keep one evening for Casino Niagara near Clifton Hill and walk there along the Niagara Parkway, because the riverside path between the two casinos runs in front of the American Falls.

Why guests love it

A short walk to the Skylon Tower and the Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort makes Tower Hotel at Fallsview practical for families who want to explore on foot. Air-conditioned rooms with private bathrooms look over the city or the river, and I would ask for the river side. The family-friendly restaurant serves American cuisine, which keeps meals simple with children. The casino itself is for adults, so I would plan it as a parents' evening. An 8.9 score from more than 3,300 reviews is a strong result.

Why guests love it

River-view rooms and a short walk to the Fallsview entertainment district are the main family arguments for Niagara Falls Marriott Fallsview Hotel & Spa. The concierge can help plan outings, and the restaurant and shared lounge make downtime simple. The listing describes a fitness center but no pool or spa facilities, so I would confirm what is open before promising children a swim. An 8.0 score from more than 4,600 reviews suggests a solid, if not exceptional, stay.
