Editor's Analysis
Updated on Feb 17, 2012
Overview
The Travelodge Hotel by the Falls in Niagara Falls is an 11 story, 120 room building located near many restaurants and tourist attractions. Guest experiences were overall positive with much praise towards the friendly staff and convenient location to attractions (although a bit of a hike from the Falls). Average ratings were roughly 7 out of 10 (on 10 point scales) and 4 out of 5 (on 5 point scales) leaving the impression that guests were generally pleased with their stay.
The Good
A common trend throughout many guest reviews was the location. This hotel is just steps from a variety of tourist attractions and dining options. Equal to the praise of the location was the appreciation for the friendly staff. A few guest reviews on MyTravelGuide.com and Booking.com mentioned that the front desk called up a few minutes after check-in to ensure the guest was pleased with the room. Acknowledgement of cleanliness and bed comfort were littered throughout guest comments on TripAdvisor.com. It was apparent that many of the guest reviewers on TripAdvisor.com were repeat guests who displayed a certain loyalty to this location. Finally, the hotel was deemed to have high value for the money paid considering the location in a high-traffic tourist area.

The Bad
If there was a complaint that stood out across multiple sources and even among happy guests it was the fact that parking was not free. The biggest complaint was easily to do with the fact that parking was charged per night even though, according to some, space was ample. In a close second to parking woes was the discontent for the on-site restaurant. Guest reviews on both TripAdvisor.com and MyTravelGuide.com mentioned that the selection was limited and overpriced. Common complaints about the rooms were the size and smell. According to reviews on Booking.com the non-smoking rooms smelled of smoke or some unidentifiable unpleasant odour. A benefit of this hotel is the fact that it has an indoor pool, however many were quick to point out that it was rather small and somewhat unappealing. Finally, keep in mind that this hotel does not have a view of the Falls (only other buildings and parking lots).
I checked out the following sources for this analysis, here’s what I found...

MyTravelGuide.com gave this hotel an average rating of 7 points out of 10 from guest reviews. Guests were generally happy with the location of the hotel, however complaints tending to focus on the quality of the room.

Booking.com guest reviews averaged to just under 8 out of 10 points. Based on the guest reviews at the time of this analysis the location and friendly customer service were common highlights noted.

TripAdvisor.com had more reviews than any other source used for this analysis. The average guest rating for this hotel was 4 out of 5 points. The majority of reviews were positive with many coming from repeat guests that would continually use this hotel for future visits.

Expedia.com guest reviews rated this hotel just under 4 out of 5 points. As with other sources, Expedia.com reviews praised the location of this hotel above all else.

"Low cost, convenient, quiet, but have breakfast elsewhere!"
"This hotel is in a good location. It is quiet, but only ten minutes walk to the main area with all the attractions and bars. Also, it takes only fifteen minutes or so to walk to the falls. The only bad thing - the breakfast! It wasn't free, and I should have taken the family elsewhere, as the food was pretty bad. All in all I would definitely go there again as it was a really good price, just eat somewhere else!"

"mediocre hotel"
"hotel is small had to pay for parking which i was never told when i booked the room. When i got there i was told about the parking was $9. when checking suddenly the parking is 9 + tax. Room smelt like smoke even though it was "supposed" to be a non smoking room. The bathroom was very tiny. The beds were so uncomfortable we couldn't sleep the entire night."

"Worst hotel stay ever...better we had just stayed home!"
"There was nothing good about the hotel. We had contacted the hotel and requested a room facing the Falls, they had said it would not be a problem, but when we got there we were told that it's against policy for them to do that and there were no room any available that faced the Falls. The person at the front desk, Nick, was very rude. When we arrived the floors were not properly cleaned, there were beer bottles under the bed, there were clothes on the floor from the previous guest,and the bathroom was not cleaned. We called Nick and he sent someone up to look at it. The lady he sent looked at the room and told us there was nothing wrong with it, and even had the audacity to say that if we had a problem with how the room was we could leave and go to another hotel. We were not offered a refund, nor were we offered another room. Instead we were told that if we wanted a different room we would have to pay the difference! Worst hotel stay ever!"

"An enjoyable stay with a geographically perfect location."
"It was a wonderful family vacation and first stay in a hotel for our two year old. The front desk staff were exceptionally helpful adn happy to welcome us. The rooms were clean and the wading pool was a wonderful surprise for our son. The indoor pool was a little too warm for summer time but was the right size and it was clean around the pool."

"Great hotel for a great price!"
"The hotel was very clean and everything was in order when we arrived. The pool and hot tub were great to have to relax in and the kids enjoyed them as well. The staff was very pleasant and approachable. Our room was situation nicely so we could see the fireworks at night. The kids loved it! It's nice to be at the top of the hill and away from the hustle and bustle of the nightlife. It was also close to where we wanted to go - the Ripley museums. The walk to the Falls wasn't too bad either. Great hotel for a great price!"

"Hotel is clean and in a good location"
"The hotel was clean and in a good location. It was easy to walk to all of the attractions from there. There really is nothing extraordinary about the hotel, but for the price I wasn't expecting anything special. It was exactly what we were looking for. Clean, and handy to the attractions without having to spend a ton of $$$."

There was 1 incident with clenliness that was fixed right away and for the inconvenience we recieved a complimentary breakfast for 4 to thier restaurant. The customer service was fantastic! If we needed anything we called to the front desk and it was braught to us immediately. We have stayed at this location before and will definitely be back again."

"Excellence appreciated."
"I loved the quietness of the room, including the air conditioner. There was no noise from the other rooms either (and yes, they were occupied). All the electrical items worked properly (ie hair dryer, etc). The check-in and check-out process was fast and simple. The staff are great! Strange bath tub though."

"This hotel is in a great location. Walking distance to every major attraction in Niagara... and a two minute walk to the strip. Indoor pool which is great for the rainy days. The only thing that I didn't like was the fact that the windows couldn't open. I like fresh air."

"We were woken up at 4 in the morning by someone having a shower or using their tub. The walls are so thin it sounded like they were in the same room as us. Will not use this hotel again because of this. Everything else was very nice, but getting woken up in the middle of the night cancels everything else out."
