When it comes to location, Comfort Inn The Pointe is almost impossible to beat on the American side. Situated at the entrance of Niagara Falls State Park, it’s so close to the falls you can feel the mist from your window. Major attractions are all within walking distance — the Aquarium of Niagara, Cave of the Winds, the Rainbow Bridge, and Maid of the Mist are all just steps away. For visitors who want to maximize time at the falls and minimize time in a car, this is the most convenient address in Niagara Falls, NY.
The rooms: All rooms feature complimentary Wi-Fi, 37-inch flat screen TVs with premium channels, coffee makers, mini-fridges, hair dryers, and irons. Many rooms offer views of the thundering rapids, the State Park, or the Canadian skyline. Rooms are straightforward and clean — don’t expect luxury, but most guests report comfortable beds and well-maintained facilities. Note that microwaves are not available in standard rooms, and a $75 damage deposit is collected at check-in.
The breakfast: A complimentary grab-and-go breakfast is included with every stay, featuring hot items, coffee, juice, and bakery goods — a genuine perk at this price point.
The amenities: Free Wi-Fi, a fitness center, a business center with computers and printer, on-site parking, luggage storage, and laundry services. A terrace with views of Niagara Falls State Park is available for guests. No pool on site. Airport bus service to Buffalo Niagara International Airport picks up directly from the hotel — a convenient bonus.
The pricing: Rates typically range from around $105 to $284 per night depending on season and day of the week, with the best deals found on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. March and February offer the lowest off-season rates. At an average of around $140 per night, it’s significantly below the Niagara Falls hotel average of $279.
The honest verdict: Comfort Inn The Pointe is not a luxury hotel, and it doesn’t pretend to be. What it offers is an unbeatable location, solid value, included breakfast, and walking-distance access to every major attraction on the NY side of the falls. Guests consistently highlight the location as the hotel’s strongest asset, and for most visitors, that’s exactly what matters most.
