$90-160/ night
Book this if You want a brand-new, modern base camp that's a 5-minute walk to the Falls but don't need a pool or a gimmicky theme.
Why People Love It
- Walking distance to Niagara Falls State Park (3 mins) and Seneca Casino (5 mins)
- Significantly cleaner and more modern than the aging motels nearby
- On-site restaurant 'Amala' actually serves decent food, unlike many hotel traps
Quick Take: A sharp, clean place to sleep that lacks a pool and soundproofing but makes up for it by not smelling like 1995.
Reviewed by @Go-Travel-Extra: I checked into the Cambria and honestly, the vibe is top class. The room was spotless—I even did a full toilet inspection! Loved the huge Niagara mural behind the beds; it really gets you excited for the falls. Perfect spot before our Maid of the Mist tour tomorrow.
