Embassy Suites Niagara Falls – Fallsview is one of many hotels that attract tourists in Niagara Falls, Canada — the biggest draw being it’s location on the famed falls. In fact, it’s technically the closest hotel to Niagara Falls. In 2015, the hotel underwent extensive renovations to practically become a new property, providing another reason for families to hang their hats here.

The hotel features renovated public areas and new restaurants, as well as updated guestrooms — some of which can sleep as many as 12 guests. Other hits include an indoor pool, views of the fireworks, package deals and easy access to all the area’s attractions.
