Sorry that I missed you tcswede!
I stayed at the Embassy Suites on Sunday night the 12th.
Booked a city view room for under US$100.00 and received an upgrade to the 30th floor Jaccuzzi suite with an incredible view of both falls. It was an automatic upgrade since there was a personalized welcome letter waiting in the room for me. I booked the room directly through the Niagara Falls Embassy Suites website.
There was also a complementary package of Milano's and a couple of bottles of water. I checked in around 8:30 pm so I did not get a chance to attend the managers reception, but I did have a great breakfast the next day. It's on the 9th floor and was a bit crowded Monday morning.
I would absolutely stay here again. I didn't spend a lot of time in Niagara Falls, but the location seemed really good and the staff was very, very friendly. The view was unbelievable at night but I can't say what it looked like during the day. There was a heavy, heavy, fog on Monday morning. Looking out the window of the room was like looking at a wall painted solid white.
The new casino is a block or two down the street and an easy walk. Nice place.
I had the "promo fee" on my bill and asked about it during checkout. The very nice front person frowned and said that it was a newer tax on tourists.
All in all, a great stay.
