So, FH and I are trying to save for a house, while we pay for most of our wedding, so our budget for the honeymoon isn't huge - about $1000 for the two of us. 

We have decided to go to Niagara Falls for a few days - probably three.  We are driving from my parents place, which is about 9 hours away.  We will over night in Saratoga NY, then head to Niagara the next day for three days. 

My question is, has anyone stayed there?  I would like something romantic, I would LOVE a falls view room, but i don't know if we can afford that.  If anyone has any info on where to stay, somewhere that is romantic, that would be really helpful.  Also, any tips about fun stuff to do there would be great too (other then the falls and wineries of course!!!)

Thanks ladies.

Juli

I marry my sweetie on Oct 7, 2006!!!

If you want a great hotel, the Fallsview Sheraton is amazing.  If you want something a little more personal, than one of the many B&B's is a good choice and they are right along the parkway that runs by the falls.

Don't forget to head into Niagara on the Lake, they have the best shopping there.

OHHH.... I have been there plenty of times! I actually got engaged there!!  I would also recommend the FallsView Casino and hotel.... it is the nicest if having a really nice hotel room is important to you.  There are lots of things you can do!  The is the Butterfly Conservatory and Botanical Gardens (where i got engaged!), winery tours, and of course all the things to do with the falls... the boat ride under the falls and the tour that takes you inder the falls.  And gambeling too!  It is very romantic at night, becasue they light up the falls.  Although you may not spend lots of money on your honeymoon, it will be fun and memorable! ~ Alli xoxo

I agree with both these ladies, if you want a view of the falls, go to Sheratan Fallviews.  There is also a new hotel there which you should check out (even its for the day)..which has a huge waterpark, which would be fun.  Niagara on the lake is very romantic, and there are tons of wine tours which you could also do.

You will have sooooo much fun in Niagara

I suggest if you plan on doing the "touristy" things like clifton hill and the falls boat and stuff, pick and choose first, because they are pricey!  That way you end up getting what you wanted most.  There is a scary ass haunted house, its right off clifton hill, I can't remember the street, I think its called screamers, usually they don't scare me, that one scared the hell outta me!  They actually have REAL people hiding in the dark and they grab your ankles and such. ughhe.

Theres also an outlet mall in the area and St. Catharines has a large mall too, its only about 15-20 min from the falls.

have fun!

if you enjoy theatre, there is also the SHaw festival in NOTL. Look up on line which plays are running the time you will be in NF. If you decide to go, you will have to order tickets in advance.

If you plan right NF can be reasonable, but it can also be really expensive, so do some research and plan ahead.
