Booked and Relocated
Poor rating based on them having to relocate us to the Hilton down the street which didn’t have the full view we paid for.

Excellent Service
The hotel had a scheduling issue and changed our reservation to the Hilton. I had requested a room with a view of the falls and was given that at an upgraded 4* Hilton at no additional cost. Plus, the concert we were in town to see was scheduled within the Hilton. Incredibly please with the Oakes Hotel service.

Our stay was great! The Oaks was having maintenance issues so we were given accommodations at the Hilton. We were given an upgrade as we checked in to a 2 bedroom, so a definite bonus! Our view was amazing 👏 Everything was great from our arrival to our departure.

What hotel?
As it seems to happen, the Oakes was having ‘plumbing issues’ and moved us to a different hotel. At least we got the same rate at a better hotel.

DISAPPOINTED Transferred to another hotel
Was looking forward to our stay at the Oakes hotel, booked a premium room looking over Niagara Falls in their tower
but Two days before we were to stay we get a phone call telling us the hotel is having maintenance problems and they have booked us in another hotel which had a peekaboo view of Niagara Falls from a distance looked online and read this has been happening for weeks with other patrons. No chance to rebook something at this point. DISAPPOINTING
