I paid $1,000 for 2 nights in a hotel room facing Niagara Falls. It was totally worth it.

• I spent two nights at the Sheraton Fallsview Hotel on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls.
• Upgraded guest rooms with views of the falls come with floor-to-ceiling windows.
• For $500 a night, I had some of the best views of Niagara Falls of my entire trip — right from bed.

I chose the Sheraton Fallsview because of its reputation as the best hotel for prime views of all three falls.

From my room, I saw the American Falls on the left, Bridal Veil Falls in the middle, and Horseshoe Falls, the U-shaped falls on the right.

The lobby was similar to other hotels I’ve been in. There was plenty of seating for guests waiting to check in or out.

The hotel had some great amenities, such as a spa, gym, and rooftop pool, although I didn’t get a chance to use them.

During my stay, the lobby was often crowded during the day, and many of the guests seemed to be families.

My room had floor-to-ceiling windows and a door, though there was no actual balcony to go out onto. Still, it offered a better glimpse of Niagara Falls.

When I opened the door, I could hear the water crashing down.

Watching the falls from my comfortable queen-sized bed was relaxing.

Nightstands and modern wall sconces bookended the bed. Between the bed and the window was a sitting area with a couch, chair, and coffee table.

Each morning, I hopped out of bed and opened the door to get ready to the sounds of the falls. I thought it was a peaceful way to start the day.

To the left of the main room, the bathroom had a rainfall showerhead.

The bathroom also had a lit vanity and a second showerhead.

After the sun went down, I enjoyed spectacular views that I didn’t expect.

At night, the Niagara Falls Illumination board projected color-changing lights onto the water from the Illumination Tower and the Table Rock Center rooftop, according to Niagara Parks.

At 10 p.m., the lights were coupled with a fireworks display.

The fireworks show runs every night at 10 p.m. from May to October, according to Niagara Falls Live.

Seeing the fireworks show from my bed was a happy surprise, and I thought it made the nightly $500 price especially worth it. I would book it again, as long as it’s fireworks season. If not, I’d try another hotel with a different view of the falls.
