I passed the most disgusting night of my life in this room. The only good thing about this HOTEL! Is the kind stuff. Bathroom was really dirty, hire every corner was saying hello to me! Bathtub, bed, bath sink … The guy before me peed while he was standing and the yellow mark on the toilet was there when I get to the room!!! There were no any shampoo , soap just the toilet paper! Bath drain was really disgusting! Water mark with lots of hire around it! The garbage can in the kitchen was not emptied! Bed was tidy up but the long hair was on the blanket! Just the breakfast was acceptable by the price. There is a sign In the pool area says take hot water shower before entering the pool but the shower has just cold water. Do not recommend it at all. Your mind will change by staying just a night in this hotel,If you believe the clips of street food are fake. I am not talking about the breakfast but the hotel! OH you know what? I have diarrhea just 2 hours after checking out… stoped 5 times while I was driving from Niagara Falls to Newmarket!😐 Oh nooo what did I eat?!?!

My husband and I stayed at River Rapids Inn as our first mini vacation with our seven month old. While there are some positives with the Inn, such as the location being within short driving distance for many attractions, there were several disappointing factors that outweigh the positive. We opted for the ‘exterior access only’ room which was very convenient for in/out between the room and our vehicle. The quality of the room was decent, nothing special, but typical for what you would expect with an older hotel. The beds were quite uncomfortable, very hard, and the pillows very terrible, flat and misshapen. The updated kitchenette with the full size fridge/freezer is a positive to note. The complimentary breakfast was decent (eggs, sausage, toast, cereal, yogurt, fruit). During breakfast on our first morning, the hydro went out and was out for a couple of hours. This limited what we were able to have for breakfast as well as inability to get ready for the day in our room. Assuming this was beyond their control, it was interesting that they don’t have a generator for their guests comfort if this were to happen. The pool was disappointing, it didn’t feel well maintained and certainly was not heated as mentioned in the booking information. There is no hot tub, this was filled in with dirt/sand with potted plants sitting on top. The “fitness center” is a couple pieces of gym equipment on the pool deck (not the most safe). On our last morning, when we went to go for breakf

The staff was very nice to deal with, but they charge you to park in their parking lot of the hotel. You’re renting the room. The parking lot comes with the room they charge you extra for that.

I like the sizes of the rooms and they were clean but I needed to buy an air freshener for my room. My bathroom door didn't close because the door doesn't fit into the door jam properly. Beds were medium comfort but still good value for the price. Breakfast was included and it was "ok".

Beware—very misleading! This hotel has a high rating on Expedia, but the reality is very different. The property is extremely run-down, and the photos online are outdated—our room looked nothing like them. The place smelled strongly of body odor, felt unsafe, and I was concerned there might be bed bugs. The staff was unfriendly, and the check-in experience felt off. When I saw the condition of the room, I immediately complained, but they refused to offer a new room or a refund. I ended up leaving and booking another hotel at three times the price just to feel safe and clean. I would never recommend this place. Avoid at all costs.
