When we arrived at the Best Western Plus Gateway to the Falls, our room wasn’t ready and the staff didn’t seem particularly helpful, which was a letdown. Luckily, we had plans nearby and returned later. On the plus side, parking was convenient and the breakfast was decent. Overall, an average experience.

There wasn’t any free water in the room. Seems rather cheap for a $300 dollar room.

High quality Hotel for a roadside stopover. The breakfast buffet was included in my price and was excellent. The hotel next door is cheaper but not nearly as nice.

It’s a new property without character. It seems understaffed but the rooms are very well cleaned - spotless! So a huge shootout to the cleaners. The breakfast room staff are also very lovely.
The hotel is extremely overpriced but it’s mainly European tourists in peak summer season so I guess the hotel can get away with the high prices (the Euro is much stronger than the Canadian dollar).
The rooms are t soundproofed well. The pool is alright but again, very basic with no character at all.
The breakfast is embarrassing - I can’t believe they serve it to tourists … what they must think of us!

Everything was fantastic about this property except the tv in the room did not work properly. It was all pixels. The only other problem was the bar in the closet fell off and cut my toe. Everything else was perfect.

Shocking to learn that our floor didn't have working telephone and the Television service as well on our floor was extremely limited.
