While Niagara-on-the-Lake is a far more scenic and charming option, you may find yourself staying overnight in Niagara Falls. One good hotel bet is the Sheraton on the Falls, 5875 Falls Ave. (tel. 888/234-8410 or 905/374-4445), which offers rooms with a truly gorgeous view; many have balconies. Rates start at C$100 (£50) for a double room. If you're more interested in gambling than a view, check out The Skyline Inn, 5685 Falls Ave. (tel. 800/263-7135 or 905/374-4444), which is right by Casino Niagara. Rates here start at C$90 (£45) per night. Then there's the luxurious Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort, 6380 Fallsview Blvd. (tel. 888/325-5788; www.fallsviewcasinoresort.com), which opened in June 2004. It boasts its own 18,580-sq.-m (200,000-sq.-ft.) casino, a performing-arts theater, a spa, and 10 dining spots. Its 368 rooms start at C$200 (£100) for a double.
