In 2022, I spent two nights at the Sheraton Fallsview Hotel on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls.
For $500 a night, I had some of the best views of Niagara Falls of my entire trip, right from bed.

Last year, I visited Niagara Falls for the first time. I paid $1,000 to spend two nights at the Sheraton Fallsview Hotel where I had front-row views of the falls from the moment I woke up to the second I fell asleep.

When I got to my room, I was the most surprised to find that I'd be able to see Niagara Falls from my bed.

I knew I'd enjoy direct views of Niagara Falls but I didn't realize that my room came with a Juliette balcony with a door that I could open to hear the water crashing down.

After the sun went down, I had no idea that the falls would glow in a colorful light show over the falls.

At 10 p.m., I was excited to see a fireworks show explode over the glowing waterfalls, which I enjoyed without obstruction or crowds.
