Where to Stay: Microtel by Wyndham Niagara Falls

Located minutes from Niagara Falls State Park and just a half hour outside of the bustling city of Buffalo you will find a clean and comfy place to stay at the Microtel by Wyndham Niagara Falls. Microtel is an affordable hotel with a bed-and-breakfast feel courtesy of the pleasantly personable owners who make you feel welcomed whether you are a newcomer stopping in for the night or a returning customer coming back for a regular stay. All Microtels (there are more than 300 across America), are new construction and designed to be extremely efficient and environmentally conscious. One of the unique features of the brand is wall hung furniture in every room which offers guests a minimal modern aesthetic and reduces cleaning time for the staff. Our favorite feature was the cushioned window seat which hides the air conditioning unit while offering a fun place to rest.

A Microtel stay includes free breakfast and all important free Wi-Fi. What is great about this location is that it offers a free shuttle to the falls which runs regularly throughout the day and there is free parking if you bring your own car. Once you get to the falls you can connect with the free Discover Niagara Shuttle which takes you to seventeen attractions throughout the area, also for free, or the Niagara Falls Scenic Trolley which shuttles guests throughout the park for just $3.
