please let me know of any romantic hotels, resorts or b and b's. Also if february is a good time to go?Niagara falls romantic getaway? whats a good resort/hotel also which side is better US or Canada?
Canadian side is better.





If you want romance stay at Niagara-on-the-lake, not at the Falls.





There is not a much too do there, but you will be busy being romantic, right :)Niagara falls romantic getaway? whats a good resort/hotel also which side is better US or Canada?
The waterfalls itself isn't the tallest in the word, but it has the most water flowing over it in the world. There are three parts to the cataracts. The largest is the Horseshoe Falls in Canada, the American Falls and the Bridal Falls on the US side of the Niagara river. The Niagara river flows from Lake Erie near Fort Erie, Ontario and Buffalo, New York northbound to the falls and continues to flow into Lake Ontario at Niagara On The Lake and Lewiston , New York. There are many tourist attractions, hotels and restaurants to visit especially on the Canadian side. The Americana Hotel and Spa on Lundy's Lane in Niagara Falls is very nice. February is nice, it's cool but most attractions are open. If you have the money stay at the Merriot Hotel that overlooks the falls.
Canadian side much cleaner, more to do, more hotels.





The Embassy Suites is lovely - but it will be COLLLLLDDDDD in February. Hard to get out to enjoy the falls, good to be inside being romantic.
Forget about the AMerican side, it sucks big time. ANytime is a great time to visit the Canadian side. Try www.forterie.com. I think that's the one that show a live feed of the falls. ALso search by typing in NiagaraFals/ontario. You will love it there. They have casinos and the town itself looks like Vegas at night. There's a lot to see and do. I'm starting to sound like a commercial....LOL
Kentata hit it on the head! But let me suggest that even staying inside lots, you're not likely to enjoy Niagra Falls in February - too darn cold, with blustery winds. If you're looking for a romantic getaway in February, some place warmer would be better. One possibility is San Antonio, TX. It has a fine area around the Riverwalk that we've enjoyed more than once. Stay nearby!
Niagara Falls is a beautiful place to get away to. In our visits there we found the ';Sheraton on the Falls'; to be one of the nicer hotels. It's in the middle of the action and if you get a ';fallsview room'; you can see the falls from outside your window, which is beautiful at night. (They illuminate them after dark.)





If you're planning a visit in February, bring lots of warm clothes because it gets chilly!





If you'd like to learn more about Niagara Falls, please visit the resource listed below.
B+B,s are cheaper,Hotels are plenty full, the Canadian side are more things to do and nice walking along to the Falls. Brock Plaza Hotel is one of the oldest hotels in the can.side. and right next to the Casino Niagara. So come and have your romantic adventure. have fun
I live here in the Falls. The hotels in Niagara-on-the-Lake, 26 miles north of the falls and the beginning of the falls tens of thousands of years ago, is the romantic area. The Prince of Whales, Queens' Landing, Piller and Post are all old romantic cozy hotels that cater to romantic get aways. The hotels in Niagara Falls are geared more towards the mini Las Vegas feel that has come to the falls in later years. Don't believe the people who say it's too cold in February, the last five years have been above 32F during the day (Global Warming). Niagara Falls U.S.A. is a let down, years ago the U.S. side wanted to gain large industry and lost all the prime tourism and gained some scary neighborhoods. Niagara Falls Canada was made into a one of a kind Federal/Provincial Park and has never catered to large industry near the water. If your heart is for a romantic hotel in the falls, the Doubletree is new kid on the block.
The Canadian side is far nicer, far cleaner, far safer. And many more things to do away from the Falls and far better restaurants (one of the two most major wine growing areas in Canada is located on the south shore of Lake Ontario)





Also, not well known except for those that live there: Niagara is not the only falls. There are several small rivers on the Niagara Peninsula that also cascade over the escarpment, usually in places where there is nobody. When I lived there I would always find [romantic] solace at one of them located between St. Catharines and Grimsby.
