Niagara Falls is one of the most special and spectacular sights you will ever see, and experiencing it in person for the first time is a story worth sharing.

When Joey Hadden, an NYC-based reporter for Insider, posted an article detailing her visit to Niagara Falls and her 2-night stay at Sheraton Fallsview Hotel, we were excited to see the famous Falls through her eyes.

The title of the article wraps up her experience.  ”I paid $1,000 to sleep in a hotel room facing Niagara Falls for 2 nights. It was totally worth it.”

In her article, Hadden describes choosing the hotel for her Summer getaway because of its reputation as the best hotel for views of the Canadian Horseshoe, American and Bridal Veil Falls.

She also details the benefits of her decision to upgrade to a Fallsview Room.  Her joy in the Juliette balcony that let the sounds of the Falls into her room and unexpected views of the nightly illumination and Summer fireworks displays radiates through the piece.

It is clear that Niagara Falls and Sheraton Fallsview left a positive impression on the first-time visitor. Her story is a worthy read and has the ability to reawaken memories of our own first in-person encounters with the Falls.
