Could walk to downtown, the Falls, or virtually anywhere else a tourist would want to see, in an hour (I didn't have a car.) When I arrived Christmas Eve, I received a very kind welcome, was shown to my room, offered a bite to eat and a place to sit while it was confirmed the room was ready. The lady on the front desk was awesome, as she was again on Boxing Day. There was seasonal music playing and a friendly ambience. However, Christmas Day, there was no music playing and the staff seemed decidedly subdued - I can't say I blame them (who wants to work on a stat holiday) - and yet I'd hoped, celebrating Christmas on my own, without family or friends, it may have been a bit different - a bit more joyous. Otherwise, I loved the hotel. Beware, there will be some noise from other rooms and other floors. To be expected, I guess. Next time I'd ask for a top floor room, if possible, to avoid the heavy footsteps of those above. The breakfasts both days - continental on Christmas; cooked (quiche), Boxing Day - were excellent. No complaints. Lots of interesting prints and artwork on the walls and books in the sitting room.
