Niagara Falls DREAM Getaway: DoubleTree Fallsview Resort & Spa Luxury Awaits!

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the Niagara Falls DREAM Getaway: DoubleTree Fallsview Resort & Spa Luxury Awaits! – and let me tell you, after spending a weekend there… well, let's just say my credit card is still recovering. This isn't going to be your average, sterile hotel review. This is going to be… well, me. Prepare for real talk, the good, the bad, the slightly embarrassing.

Niagara Falls DoubleTree: A Real Person's Verdict (Plus a Few Tears of Joy)

Let's start with the basics, shall we? This DoubleTree is all about the view. I mean, seriously, the view. The Falls are right there. Like, you can practically reach out and touch them (don’t try that, you’ll get soaked).

Accessibility: Okay, so let's be real, accessibility is HUGE for me, and I was really impressed.

  • Wheelchair Accessible? Yep. Major kudos to the team, it's smooth sailing - elevators, ramps, accessible rooms – the whole kit and caboodle.
  • Facilities for Disabled Guests: They've clearly put some thought into this. Everything felt really well-designed and considerate.

Cleanliness and Safety: (Because, you know, COVID)

  • Anti-viral cleaning products? Check. Feel like you're walking in a bubble of cleanliness!
  • Rooms sanitized between stays? Double check.
  • Staff trained in safety protocol? Triple check. Honestly, I felt safe enough to eat off the floor…kidding (mostly).
  • Hand sanitizer everywhere, like a sweet, germ-killing oasis. Yeah, they are really serious about clean.

Rooms: The View is Everything (and the Bed… my God, the Bed!)

Okay, so let's get real. I splurged on a Fallsview room with a balcony because, come on, that's the whole point! And the view? Unbelievable. Breathtaking. I spent a solid hour just staring out the window, muttering "I can't believe this is real" to myself. (Yup, I’m that person.) The room itself was pretty damn swanky too.

  • Air Conditioning: Essential!
  • Blackout Curtains: Lifesaver. (For those late-night… ahem… "contemplations" of the Falls.)
  • Coffee/Tea Maker: Crucial for my morning rituals.
  • Extra Long Bed? YES! (Because, even in luxury, you need room to starfish.)
  • Free Wi-Fi: Essential for my Instagram posts (and, you know, work stuff).
  • Shower, Bathtub, Separate Shower/Bathtub: Choices, choices!
  • Soundproofing: Thank goodness. Nobody wants to hear their neighbors…well, you get it.

And then the bed. I'm not exaggerating when I say it was like sleeping on a cloud. So comfy, so dreamy, I almost didn't want to leave the room. Almost.

Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Food Glorious Food (and Booze!)

Okay, here's where things get interesting. I'm a foodie, so this was a BIG deal for me.

  • Restaurants: There are several options. Some are expensive (hello, fine dining!), but the quality is generally pretty good.
  • Breakfast Buffet? Yes, glorious breakfast buffet - Western, Asian, all of it. I may or may not have gone back for seconds (and thirds). The coffee was decent, which is always a win.
  • Poolside Bar? Very important. I spent a delightful afternoon sipping cocktails and staring at the Falls. Pure bliss.
  • Room Service: 24-hour? Yes, please! Perfect for those late-night cravings when you can't bear to put on real pants.
  • Desserts in Restaurant: Yes! I tried at least one dessert in every restaurant.
  • Happy hour: Good choice.

Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Spa Day! (And a Few Regrets…)

Alright, let's talk about the real reason I went: the spa. Because I needed this. Okay, I wanted this… badly.

  • Spa? Yes!
  • Sauna and Steam Room? Obviously.
  • Massages? I got the massage. A glorious, hour-long, melt-your-stress-away massage.
  • Pool with View? Yes! So, chill and nice.
  • Gym/Fitness? Sure, if you’re into that sort of thing. My "exercise" was walking to the buffet. (Don't judge me).
  • Body wrap? A great option!!

Here's where it gets a little… messy. I got a bit carried away. I wish I’d had the body scrub, or foot bath but hey, next time right?

Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Make a Difference

  • Concierge: Super helpful. They helped me navigate the area and book tours (like the absolutely insane Maid of the Mist boat tour – do it, just do it!).
  • Daily Housekeeping: Essential.
  • Elevator: Crucial, because, stairs are the enemy of relaxation.
  • Laundry Service: Great option, if you're like me and packed way too little, so I needed a wash.
  • Wi-Fi in Public Areas: Fast and reliable.
  • Convenience Store: Because, snacks!

Getting Around:

  • Car Park [free of charge]: Amazing.
  • Airport transfer: Available

For the Kids:

  • Family/child friendly: Yes! DoubleTree Fallsview Resort offers babysitting service.

The Not-So-Great Stuff (Because I’m Honest)

  • The Prices: This isn’t a budget hotel. Be prepared to spend some money. I'd say the prices are justified, but it's definitely a splurge.
  • The Crowds: Niagara Falls is popular. Expect crowds, especially during peak season. But hey, that’s part of the experience, right?
  • Lack of PETS allowed: Too bad.

Final Verdict: Should You Go?

YES! Absolutely, unequivocally, YES! The DoubleTree Fallsview Resort & Spa Luxury Awaits! is a fantastic choice for a Niagara Falls getaway. The view alone is worth the price of admission. The spa is amazing, the beds are heavenly, and the location is perfect. It’s a truly unforgettable experience.

My Emotional Reaction:

  • Joy: Oh, so much joy! Staring at that view while sipping a cocktail? Heaven.
  • Relaxation: A deep, soul-soothing relaxation. I came back feeling recharged.
  • Slight Regret: That I didn't stay longer.

Okay, buckle up, buttercup! We’re diving headfirst into my Niagara Falls adventure at the DoubleTree Fallsview Resort & Spa. Consider this less of a polished itinerary and more of a frantic, caffeine-fueled scribble on a napkin. Buckle up, because this ain't gonna be pretty.

Day 1: Arrival, Hysteria, and Waterfalls (aka Niagara Falls: You Had Me At ‘Hello’ and Then ‘WHERE ARE MY KEYS?!’)

  • 1:00 PM - Arrival & Initial Panic: Okay, first impressions: the DoubleTree looks… well, like a slightly older, grander version of a hotel. It's all marble and chandeliers, which, right after a 6-hour drive in gridlock sounds more stressful than relaxing. Check-in? A breeze. Room: surprisingly nice, with that promised Fallsview. I practically squealed like a cartoon character. Then… the classic: "Where. Are. My. Keys?!" Cue frantic digging through my bag, sweating profusely. Found them. Crisis averted. Time for a celebratory… uh… mini-bottle of something from the minibar? Don't judge.

  • 2:30 PM - The Maid of the Mist, or, "Wet and Wild (and Slightly Terrified)": I'm standing on the boat, the poncho is on, and I'm bracing myself. The roar is deafening! And then – BAM! - a literal wall of water. The Niagara is a beast and you should have your cameras waterproofed, and you better believe I still didn't listen to the guy telling me to and when I took my phone out, it was too late, I can't see a thing now. Wet, freezing, and completely overwhelmed. It was the best thing ever. I'm still drying out my shoes, but the sheer power of it – the way the mist kisses your face… it's humbling. Also, the little kid in front of me barfing didn't help. But hey, memories, right?

  • 4:00 PM - Fallsview Observation Tower & Pizza (aka, "I Can See My Life!" and "Hangry Strikes Again"): The observation deck is a must-see. The view is stunning, especially as the sun starts to dip. I did the whole "contemplating my life choices" thing. (Spoiler: still eating pizza is high up there.) The pizza at that place was decent, nothing to write home about but it was just what I needed to recharge after the Maid of the Mist's baptism.

  • 7:00 PM - "Falls Illumination" & Fireworks (or, "Exploding Colors and the Deep Longing for a Nap"): The Falls illuminated at night! Seriously gorgeous. Magical. Romantic. I tried to be romantic, I really did, but honestly? It was getting late, the pizza coma was setting in, and all I wanted was to be vertical. The fireworks were impressive, though, I'll give them that. They exploded. They were loud. I even teared up, maybe from the fireworks, maybe from sleep deprivation.

  • 8:30 PM - Resort Decompression (or, "The Coma Begins"): Back at the hotel. I attempted to get a massage at the spa but it was fully booked. (Lesson learned: book that stuff way in advance.) So, instead, I crashed on the bed. Watched some terrible TV. And promptly passed out.

Day 2: Adventure, Misadventures, and Regret (aka Niagara Falls: "I'm So Tired")

  • 9:00 AM - Breakfast… In Theory (or, "Where's the Bacon?!"): The DoubleTree's breakfast buffet was supposed to be the start of a new day. But I stumbled down, barely awake, and the lines were insane. Scrambled eggs that resembled rubber and that was the moment where I knew I needed a nap. I grabbed a coffee and a stale muffin and retreated to my room. Defeated.

  • 10:00 AM - Journey Behind the Falls (or, "Water, Glorious Water"): Supposedly, this is a "must-do". Which, fine. We descended into the tunnels, the water roared, and I got even wetter than on the boat. The best bit? The view from behind the falls. Pretty damn impressive. But, honestly, after the Maid of the Mist, it just felt… wetter.

  • 12:00 PM - The Cave Wind Tour: Oh, sweet Jesus, how I hated this. I got to be honest, I can't stand these kinds of tours. The guide was okay, but the stories were a bit tired, too. And what was the point? I'm not sure I even learned anything. It's just for the experience, they said. They were right.

  • 1:30 PM - Lunch and The Perfect Meal (or, "This is Where It All Went Wrong"): I was hungry, and the guide told me a place and, I was too tired to make a choice. I ordered way too much food and I felt sick afterward. No good.

  • 3:00 PM - Botanical Gardens & Butterfly Conservatory (or, "Pretty Things and Anxiety Central"): The Botanical Gardens were lovely, serene even. The butterflies… well, let's just say I'm not a big fan of insects. It felt like a Hitchcock movie, except with less suspense and way more flitting wings. I lasted about 20 minutes before fleeing in terror.

  • **4:00 PM - *Spa Again (or, "Attempting Redemption"):* Okay, THIS time I got my massage. It was a good massage to be honest, and I was so happy to have this experience again.

  • 7:00 PM - Dinner, Attempt #2 (or, "The Culinary Rollercoaster"): I'm too tired to go out, so I ordered room service. Mediocre, but at least I could eat in my pajamas and judge the people outside.

  • 9:00 PM - Bed… Finally (or, "Crying Myself to Sleep Over My Packing Skills"): Another night. Another coma. Another day closer to going home. (Thank God.)

Day 3: The Grand Finale, and Escape (aka Niagara Falls: "I Made It! I Survived!")

  • 9:00 AM - One Last Good Morning: I'm too tired to eat, so I went to the view one last time and I sat with it, soaking it in.

  • 10:00 AM - The DoubleTree Check Out: Fast. As if they wanted me gone.

  • 11:00 AM - Drive home, freedom! Oh, how I crave space.

Final Thoughts (or, "My Niagara Falls Survival Guide"):

  • Wear waterproof gear, and water shoes: Seriously. Embrace the wet.
  • Book everything in advance: Especially the spa.
  • Embrace the chaos: Let go of expectations.
  • Don't skip the beauty: The Falls are genuinely magnificent, even when you're soaked to the bone.

Niagara Falls: It was a wild ride. I am exhausted. But would I go back? Maybe. Someday. After a lot of sleep. And a thorough hazmat suit.

Niagara Falls DREAM Getaway: DoubleTree Fallsview Resort & Spa - Seriously, Luxury Awaits (But What Does That *Actually* Mean?)

Okay, spill the tea. Is this whole "Luxury Awaits" thing just marketing fluff, or is this place actually *nice*?

Alright, alright, let's cut the crap. "Luxury" is thrown around like confetti these days. I went in skeptical, I'll admit. My last "luxury" experience involved a leaky tap and a questionable stain on the duvet. BUT… the DoubleTree Fallsview? Okay, it *mostly* delivers. The lobby is all gleaming marble and chandeliers – which, let's be real, always makes me feel a little underdressed in my travel-worn jeans. But then, BAM! The view. HOLY BANANAS. Just… the Falls. From the right room, it's like you're practically *in* them. And let me tell you, seeing those roaring cascades from your giant, comfy bed at sunrise? Pure, unadulterated *bliss*. My *only* hiccup? The first room had a slight… musty smell. Like a grandma's attic meets a damp towel. We got it swapped, though. Problem solved. That’s service, baby!

The ROOMS! Tell me about the dang rooms! Are they as amazing as the pictures make them seem? Because those photos are *aggressive* with the glam.

Okay, the rooms. This is where it gets interesting. Yes, the pictures are… well, they're *photoshopped*. Let's be real. But the *bones* are good. We snagged a Fallsview Suite, which, let me tell you, if you're going, DO IT. It's worth the extra cash. The king-size bed? Clouds. Seriously, I think I could have slept for a week straight. And yeah, the view… I've already gushed about the view, but seriously. The jacuzzi tub by the window… yeah, that's as amazing as you think it is. Picture this: bubbles, a glass of (admittedly, not *great*) champagne, and the thunder of the Falls. The problem? I'm a clumsy human. I almost dropped my phone in the tub three times. Almost. Disaster averted!

I heard there's a spa. Is it worth the splurge? I'm a sucker for a good massage.

Ugh, the spa. This is where I get a little… *complicated*. The Serenity Spa, right? Okay, the ambiance is on point. Dim lighting, that vaguely floral scent, the whole shebang. My massage? It was... decent. Nothing mind-blowing, but definitely relaxing. My therapist was lovely, but the pressure was a little… gentle for my liking. I like to feel like my muscles are being *kneaded*, not just gently caressed. Now, the *real* problem? The prices. They're… steep. Like, "consider selling a kidney" steep. So, if you're a massage junkie, then sure, go for it. Just be prepared to shell out some serious dough. I splurged though, because sometimes, you gotta treat yourself. And after a massage, and my phone almost taking a bath in the jacuzzi? Yeah, I needed it.

What about the food? Is it all tourist traps, or are there actually some decent eats?

Oh, the food. Okay, so, the DoubleTree has multiple restaurants. The Fallsview Restaurant is… well, the view is *spectacular*. The food? It's good, but not, like, "I'll write home about this" good. I had the steak, which was cooked perfectly but a little… bland. My partner had pasta, which was… fine. Nothing to write home about, definitely. The breakfast buffet though! That's the real winner. Omelet station, waffles, fruit… It's a carb-lover's dream! And the service, by and large, was friendly and attentive. It's not a foodie paradise, but there are definitely worse places to eat. It's Niagara, after all! Expect a mix of quality. I’d recommend venturing out for at least one meal, though. See the local offerings.

Okay, besides the Falls themselves, what's there *to do*? Seems like a bit of a tourist trap situation.

Alright, let's address the elephant in the room: yes, Niagara Falls is a tourist trap. But a beautiful, awe-inspiring, gotta-see-it-at-least-once tourist trap! Beyond the obvious – *the Falls* (duh), the boat tour (definitely do it, you WILL get wet!), and the Skylon Tower (another great view) – there's stuff to do. Clifton Hill is… well, it's Clifton Hill. Think arcades, wax museums, and enough flashing lights to give you a seizure. Fun for a couple of hours… maybe. But I wouldn't spend my entire trip there. The Journey Behind The Falls is cool. You get to go down into the tunnels and experience the power of the water from behind… I actually felt a genuine sense of wonder, watching and feeling the falls. Don't leave Niagara without doing that.

Hidden gems? Any secret spots or things to do that the average tourist might miss?

Okay, here's the inside scoop. Ditch Clifton Hill. Get yourself to the Niagara-on-the-Lake. It's a charming town nearby with wineries, quaint shops, and a much more relaxed vibe. Rent bikes and cycle along the Niagara Parkway. It's gorgeous! We stumbled upon a tiny, family-run ice cream shop – the best ice cream I've had in ages. (I cannot remember the name. I was too busy shoveling it in my face.) Also, if you're a history nerd like me, explore the forts and battlefields. They're surprisingly fascinating.

The "DoubleTree" element: You know, those cookies everyone raves about? Did you get one? Was it heaven?

Oh, the cookies. Yes. Yes, I got one. It's a DoubleTree *thing*. Those warm, gooey, chocolate chip cookies. THE COOKIES! Honestly? They're good. Really good. And that's the thing. It's a small thing. A *tiny* thing. But it's such a welcoming gesture. That first bite? Total satisfaction. It's a perfect little touch of comfort after a long travel day. But *is* it heaven? Okay, maybe not *heaven*. But it's a darn good cookie, and it definitely added to the feeling of, "Hey, you're on vacation, and we want you to feel good." I ended up eating like three.

The overall vibe? Is it a romantic getaway destination, or more of a family-friendly place?

Both! And that's the beauty (and sometimes, the chaos) of it.Scenic Stays
