- I spent two nights at the Sheraton Fallsview Hotel on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls.
- Upgraded guest rooms with views of the falls come with floor-to-ceiling windows.
- For $500 a night, I had some of the best views of Niagara Falls of my entire trip — right from bed.
I'll never forget stepping into Canada. In August 2022, I walked over the Rainbow Bridge connecting New York and Ontario, stopping briefly in the middle to watch and listen to the roaring Niagara Falls on my left.
About 10 minutes later, I was standing in front of the Sheraton Fallsview Hotel, where I'd see the epic force of nature flow from my bedroom for the next two nights.
For $500 a night, I had prime views of the falls from the moment I woke up to the second I fell asleep. It was definitely worth the price.

According to Tripadvisor, Niagara Falls, Ontario, has more than 200 hotels ranging from one to four stars.
Part of the Marriott Bonvoy hotel collection, the Sheraton Fallsview is a four-star hotel. Rooms range from an interior view starting at $150 to guest rooms and suites with views of Niagara Falls, which cost between about $230 and $1,100, according to a recent search for bookings a month in advance.

Since this was my first time in Niagara Falls, I wanted to make the most of it. So I upgraded to a premium 258-square-foot Fallsview room with a direct view for my two-night stay.
From my room, I saw the American Falls on the left, Bridal Veil Falls in the middle, and Horseshoe Falls, the U-shaped falls on the right.
The lobby was similar to other hotels I've been in. There was plenty of seating for guests waiting to check in or out.Joey Hadden/Business Insider
The hotel had some great amenities, such as a spa, gym, and rooftop pool, although I didn't get a chance to use them.
During my stay, the lobby was often crowded during the day, and many of the guests seemed to be families.
My room had floor-to-ceiling windows and a door, though there was no actual balcony to go out onto. Still, it offered a better glimpse of Niagara Falls.Joey Hadden/Business Insider
When I opened the door, I could hear the water crashing down.

Nightstands and modern wall sconces bookended the bed. Between the bed and the window was a sitting area with a couch, chair, and coffee table.
Each morning, I hopped out of bed and opened the door to get ready to the sounds of the falls. I thought it was a peaceful way to start the day.

At night, the Niagara Falls Illumination board projected color-changing lights onto the water from the Illumination Tower and the Table Rock Center rooftop, according to Niagara Parks.
At 10 p.m., the lights were coupled with a fireworks display.Joey Hadden/Business Insider
The fireworks show runs every night at 10 p.m. from May to October, according to Niagara Falls Live.
Seeing the fireworks show from my bed was a happy surprise, and I thought it made the nightly $500 price especially worth it. I would book it again, as long as it's fireworks season. If not, I'd try another hotel with a different view of the falls.
