Parking is a problem. There used to be a loophole for parking at the casino, but I think it has been closed now (you now have to gamble a lot more than before in order to get free parking). If the intent is to gamble anyway, that's still an option.
What do you mean by "good" and "reasonably priced"? Niagara Falls is a very touristy area (at least, near the falls), and there's a premium you pay for that, and most of the mid-range hotels are pretty dated and tired. Do you need to be overlooking the falls? Within walking distance? Willing to drive 20 minutes to save money?
There are some hotels near the Niagara outlet mall that are decent and newer (Staybridge, etc.) and reasonably priced with free parking, and around 20 minutes drive to the falls. It depends on whether you intend to be at the falls/in the touristy part of town all the time, or whether you're going to visit wineries and breweries in the region, go to Niagara on the Lake, etc. that will determine whether that's a worthwhile trade-off.

Actually, I was and I am looking for hotel deal on - any day - whenever the prices are reasonable and can stay for 2-3 nights with spouse and 2 years old kid.
Parking at $20-25 would be cheap for Niagara Falls. Hotels don't hide the fact that they're actively trying to rip people off. The outdoor lot next to Marriott on the Falls was $35 overnight in summer 2021.Just4Deals wrote: ↑ parking is $20-$25/day (which kills the deal).
I assume with a 2 year old you will not be roaming around too much in this weather. As you said, if you book thru Groupon or deal sites, you will be offered the cheapest/worst rooms. Most of the nicer hotels at the Falls have their own websites (see links below), not the corporate Hilton/Starwood sites - on these sites you will see package deals, some are 2 night packages and include breakfast and a voucher for dinner. Some may include parking. When I stayed at the Hilton, on-site parking was $70 so I parked at the casino and used the covered walkway to get to the hotel. Even if you do not gamble, i think the casino will charge $25/max a day and lesser for a weekday. If the casino is closed due to Covid restrictions, then the parking lot will be closed. The best views of the falls are from the Fallsview Blvd hotels - Embassy suites, Hilton, Marriott, Oaks, Casino hotel. Higher floor has better rooms. Also make sure you book a fallsview room and not a city view. Embassy can get crowded because their rooms are suites so you have a lot of big family groups staying there. If its a short break with a 2 year old, spend the money for a good view and a nice hotel - the views of the falls are great and your wife will be happy. If need be, cut back on your food bills - the restaurants are takeout only for now. The Embassy has a microwave which helps if you need to rustle up something for your 2 year old.Just4Deals wrote: ↑ Thank you for response!
No gambling.
Preferably near-by fall. The hotels - overlooking the fall - must be expensive/day + parking + taxes etc.
I will look for Staybridge's option.
One of the neighbor booked through Groupon. However, at the hotel reception, he was given kind of a worst possible hotel room as it was booked through Groupon.

With the announcement of lockdown of indoor dining in Ontario you won’t be tempted to hit any of the insanely overpriced garbage restaurants in Niagara Falls.
Just over a $100 a night is great deal for Niagara. The falls has its charm in deep winter.
I think 3 nights is too much 2 would be good then maybe do 2 nights at a charming bed and breakfast in Niagara on the lake.
With no dining and I’m assuming all the arcade stuff and childrens stuff shut down due to winter or lockdown (2 might be too younge anyways ) I really don’t think you’ll be doing much besides going for walks and sitting in your room. With a Fallsview and jazuzzi it can be romantic but with a 2 year I dunno could be a hassle. Get a babysitter and make it romantic I say
You pay upfront as usual, when you file your 2022 income taxes you will be able to claim it, essentially a 20% credit. Even if your income taxes are $0, you will still get back the 20% credit. Individuals are allowed to claim a $200 credit (based off $1000 spend on accommodation) or if you have a family (spouse) then you can claim up to $400 credit (based off $2000 spend on accommodation)KevinT277396 wrote: ↑ How does this work exactly?
