In New York, rent a room at the Niagara Falls Red Coach Inn for a stay close to the falls. Rooms are comfortable furnished and have more of a bed and breakfast feel to them. All the guest rooms are equipped with private bathrooms, Jacuzzi tubs and wireless internet. Standard room rates start under $100 USD but the larger suites can get a bit pricey, some up to a little over $300 USD. The on-site restaurant offers guests and visitors "fine-dining" at "affordable" rates. The inn is situated so close to the falls, only about 1500 feet, that all rooms have a view of them. It's been said that staying at the Red Coach is like "relaxing at home."

In Niagara Falls, Ontario one of the better bets for accommodations is the Marriott Courtyard By the Falls. It's only a block from the actual falls and a mile from two of Ontario's casinos.
