When we decided to visit Niagara Falls on a Saturday night on short notice, we were looking for a location near Clifton Hill that would be comfortable enough to stay in for one night without breaking the bank. Many hotels were four hundred dollars or more and the Choice Inn was half that price. I recommend, if you intend to book, booking directly through their website which, in our case, offered a significant discount from the aggregator sites, including this one.

On the positive side, this establishment had a clean room that smelled like disinfectant on arrival. The rooms have plenty of space. The pool, which we did not use, appeared crystal clear. The towels appeared freshly replaced. Parking was free, which was tantamount to an additional $20 savings. Clifton Hill is right there.

On the negative side, although apparently recently renovated, the rooms are still somewhat in an old style. Our bathtub was blue. The rooms are not particularly quiet, and despite being on the top floor, we awoke a few times from noise. It was also common to walk by people sitting outside their rooms smoking, which is their right and certainly better than in room smoking, but isn't appealing to us.

I may have given 4 or 5 stars on value alone, but on checkin, I was asked to pay an additional 10 dollars for the third member of our party (our daughter) who was clearly mentioned in our online reservation. When confronted with the booking confirmation, the clerk said it was because she thought it was a third adult and not a child. But when I went to the room, online it would have been 5 and not 10 dollars more even if our third had been an adult. In summary, make sure you know how much your reservation is for when checking in. That was a minor issue but not one I particularly liked having to deal with.

The Choice Inn (formerly the Cavalier?) is an older motel that’s been recently renovated. The grounds appear well kept, the room was clean and well equipped with a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. There are no irons (they did not claim there was).
The bed was super soft and comfortable.
The keycard system for your room is NFC, unlike most hotels that are swipe cards, so you can leave the keycard in your wallet and just tap the lock to open, which is handy.
The motel is located basically at the top of Clifton Hill and is a short walk to all the tourist stuff, yet was surprisingly quiet likely due to the road being closed to vehicular traffic.
I had read complaints about the post-Covid continental breakfast; I did not see anything to do with breakfast at this motel, but there are several good breakfast joints in town, and if convenience is your concern there is a diner and food truck right across the street.

The internet worked fine for personal devices, but for the Roku TV (Netflix, etc) it was hit-or-miss, likely due to the weak signal strength. If watching Netflix or online contact is important to you, I suggest bringing an HDMI cable and connecting the TV to your device. TV stations were limited.
If you require room cleaning or towels, I recommend speaking with the office and let them know when you are leaving for the day. Coming back after being out for the day I had to ask for fresh towels, however, I was given them without issue.
I’m not sure if it’s because the motel is old or if it’s a Niagara Falls thing, but there were several brownouts, in addition to the breakers tripping randomly. Keep this in mind if you’re concerned about your electronics, thus I recommend bringing a travel surge protector or charging via a battery bank and then charging the bank from an outlet separately.

The Choice Inn was the best value I could find, its closest comparison was $40/night more, and not walking distance to the Falls or any of the attractions. From this past experience, I would not hesitate to recommend this motel and look forward to a future stay.
