Every employee was friendly, courteous, and helpful. We had a falls view room and could see the falls perfectly. We also over looked the beautiful park in front of the hotel. The Clifton Hill amusement area was a 10 second walk from the hotel. The outdoor pool was large and heated and my family loved it. We had a great time and I have praise for the hotel and the employees. We will visit Niagara Falls again and we will stay at the Sheraton.

My husband, myself and our 3 young kids stayed in a King Bed Suite Room (w pull-out bed) on the 7th floor with balcony views of The Falls. The room was gorgeous. Clean. Modern. Spacious.

Fun and Romance Abounds in Niagara Falls!

Looking for an exciting adventure for you and a special someone? Niagara offers a lot of fun and romance if you know where to look. Many ‘love birds’ prefer a carefree walk down the Niagara Parkway to take in the Falls, while others enjoy a couples session at one of our award-winning spas or delicious gourmet meals with a view before retiring to one of our luxury hotel rooms where elegance and comfort are prioritised. Continue reading for the top ten ideas to spice up your winter romance.

#1 Take A Romantic Stroll on the Parkway!

The most scenic portion of the Niagara Parkway is right at the Falls, where you can take a romantic moonlit walk to see the illuminated Falls, Winter Festival of Lights, and other beautiful scenery…hand in hand. The Niagara Winter Festival of Lights is FREE and open to everyone. This year, it takes place from November 12th 2022 to February 20th, 2023. Enjoy the plentiful lights along the Niagara Parkway and within Queen Victoria Park, Dufferin Islands, and various tourist areas throughout Niagara Falls, including Clifton Hill, the Victoria Centre, Fallsview Boulevard, and Lundy’s Lane. Visitors should come out early and often to catch all the lighting arrangements throughout the festival.

#2 Visit the Safari Lights at Safari Niagara

Drive through Safari Niagara this holiday season (November 19th, 2022 – January 8th, 2023) to enjoy one of Canada’s biggest and brightest holiday light displays with friends and family. This incredible 3km Winter Wonderland is an hour-long driving adventure through the illuminated streets of Safari Niagara. Breathtaking, exciting and full of holiday magic.

#3 Bring Your Love to Soaring Heights with an Aerial Tour!

During the quiet periods of winter Niagara Falls Helicopters offers a perfect opportunity for a surprise engagement! Or better yet, you can take advantage of their “Chapel in the Sky” wedding service, the most intriguing way to tie the knot for couples that want to stand out! For those just wanting to share a great experience, there is a number of excellent tours which include Niagara’s finest wineries along with many other points of interest to enjoy together.

#4 Celebrate Your “Love Buzz” with Icewine!

Niagara is wine country and its surrounding landscape is gorgeous to see during all four seasons. The Niagara Region alone has over 50 award-wining wineries, with 29 wineries showcasing their creations in Niagara-on-the-Lake this Winter. Don’t miss the 2023 Icewine Celebration, where you can explore the decadently sweet art of wine paired with sweet and savoury creations. Visit the participating wineries and taste VQA icewines.

There are many luxurious spas to choose from, with many located in Niagara Falls and the beautifully historic Niagara-on-the-Lake. Virtually all of the spas in Niagara offers a couple’s treatment session, and an event filled “spa day” is the best way to relax and bond with one another.

Ontario Staycation Tax Credit For Niagara Vacations

Leave a comment
Reading Time:  3 minutes -

For the last few weeks of 2022, Ontario residents can still take advantage of the ‘Ontario Staycation’ tax credit.

In an effort to stimulate the tourism and hospitality sector, after COVID-19 closures, the Ontario government established a tax credit this year encouraging individuals and families to take short-term visits inside the province.

Read on to see how you might receive up to 20% of your qualified 2022 lodging expenditures reimbursed in Ontario.

Overview

The temporary Ontario Staycation Tax Credit for 2022 is designed to encourage Ontario families to explore the province while also assisting the tourist and hospitality industries in recovering from the financial effects of the COVID-Covid 19 epidemic.

When completing their personal Income Tax and Benefit Return for 2022, Ontario individuals can claim 20% of their qualified lodging costs, such as a stay at a hotel, cottage, or campsite. Individually, you can claim up to $1,000 in qualifying costs, or $2,000 if you have a spouse, common-law partner, or eligible children, for a total refund of up to $200 or $400 for a family.

About 1.85 million Ontario households will benefit from the credit, which is expected to cost $270 million.

Who is eligible

If you are a resident of Ontario by December 31, 2022, you are entitled for the credit.

The credit is only available to one person per household per year. The qualifying costs of your spouse or common-law partner, as well as your eligible children, may be included in your claim. The credit cannot be claimed on a child’s personal income tax and benefit return for the year 2022.

If you don’t have a spouse, common-law partner, or eligible child, you can still claim the credit for your own qualified costs.

Eligible expenses

For a leisure stay of less than a month in Ontario, you can claim the Ontario Staycation Tax Credit for lodging costs at a short-term or camping facility, such as a:

  • hotel
  • motel
  • resort
  • lodge
  • bed-and-breakfast establishment
  • cottage
  • campground

Timeshare agreements and stays on a boat, rail, or other self-propelled vehicle are not considered short-term accommodations.

The tax credit is only valid for stays between January 1, 2022, and December 31, 2022, regardless of when the stays are paid for. Business travel is not eligible for the tax credit.

The accommodation expenses must also:

  • have been paid as described on a detailed receipt provided by you, your spouse or common-law partner, or an eligible child.
  • be shown on a detailed receipt, that confirms payment was subject to Goods and Services Tax (GST)/Harmonized Sales Tax (HST).
  • not been repaid by anyone, including a friend or an employer, to you, your spouse or common-law partner, or your eligible child

As long as all other conditions are met, you can claim any of the following expenses:

  • accommodation for a single or several journeys, up to a maximum expenditure limit of $1,000 per person or $2,000 per family.
  • Accommodations booked directly with the hotel or through an online booking site
  • the percentage of the cost that is required to gain entry to the lodging
  • a travel package’s lodging cost portion

How to claim the credit

For any qualified costs you incur, you must retain detailed receipts. All of the following information should be included on such receipts:

  • the location of the accommodation
  • the amount that can reasonably be considered to be for the accommodation portion of a stay
  • the GST/HST paid
  • the date of the stay
  • the name of the payor

You can claim the credit on your 2022 Individual Income Tax and Benefit Return.

The Ontario Staycation Tax Benefit is a personal income tax credit that is refundable. This implies that if you qualify, regardless of whether you owe income tax in 2022, you can receive this tax credit.

Contact The Ontario Government For Details

Please call the Ontario Budget Hotline at 1-800-337-7222 if you have any queries concerning the tax credit.

Tips to Plan a Weekend Getaway to Remember in Niagara Falls

Leave a comment

Reading Time:  4 minutes -If cost and/or finding the time to travel is difficult for you, then perhaps all you need is to plan a weekend getaway in Niagara Falls. Get the most out of your mini-vacation by making it the most enjoyable couple of days spent here.

Pick A Hotel That Speak To Your Interests

Does your family enjoy waterparks? Choose the Sheraton on the Falls for quick access and room packages that feature the Fallsview Indoor Waterpark. A little further away from the tourist hustle and bustle you may pick the Americana Waterpark Resort & Spa on Lundy’s Lane for a quieter stay.

Are you looking to be close to all the family fun attractions while situated only a short walk to view the Falls? Choose hotels such as the Howard Johnson Hotel by the Falls or the Niagara Falls Courtyard by Marriott which also feature packages that cater to family fun.

What about if you are on the opposite side of the spectrum and you are travelling as a couple and prefer a more “outdoorsy” getaway? We have that too! Popular campsites such as Campark Resorts or Jellystone Niagara are available to suit the nature lovers.

Whether you wish to be closer to picnicking at the Niagara Gorge or right in the swing of the things on the “Street of Fun”, you’ll want to choose a Niagara Falls hotel that speaks to your interests with as little driving back and forth as possible.

Bring A Travel Companion — or Two!

Niagara Falls is full of relaxation for the solo traveler, but there’s definitely more fun to be had with a buddy or two! Attractions such as the Niagara SkyWheel, The Hornblower Niagara Crusies, MistRider Zipline to the Falls, and the Whirpool Jet Boat Tours are simply all that more exciting when you have brought a friend to share the laughter and memories with!

The Ultimate Fun with friends in Niagara Falls is with the Clifton Hill Fun Pass. Only $29.95+HST each for SIX attractions!

Leave Your Phone on Airplane Mode the Majority of the Time

It’s tempting now that our phones keep us in touch with the world via social media, news at the tip of our fingers, the urge to share every photo from your trip highlights to the food you eat, to want to bring along your phone everywhere you go. It almost seems like a complete necessity, but the truth of the matter is, just 15 years ago we managed just fine.

We are so attached to our phones now that we take photos to remember the moments — but while not fully being in the moment and enjoying each others company in the present. Obviously, this isn’t always the case, but if you tend to be distracted by your phone, it really is great to disconnect and only use the phone for pictures — save sharing them for the time being.

Take a break from business calls and emails. Tell yourself that you will turn on your phone only briefly in the morning or the evening. Spend quality time with your companion(s), and enjoy the beauty that Niagara Falls holds from hiking to simply standing by the natural wonder for the moment and breathe.

Afterwards, you can use social media to your advantage and start sharing the photos you took by tagging the respective businesses that you frequented. Many places will give you added exposure by asking to share your photos and will link to your accounts. For example, if you are a Travel Blogger or an up and coming Photographer, this is one of the best ways to utilize your skills. Research ahead where you plan on visiting and follow their social media accounts for the potential chance to win something amazing just for reaching out and connecting with them.

Leave Copies of Everything with a Loved One

Nothing can ruin a trip more than facing the possibility of a lost passport, wallet, purse, or your credit cards. Take pictures of all your ID documents, and make sure you have your credit card numbers saved somewhere secure.
Take advantage of hotels that have a safe, and try to avoid bringing all your items with you on your excursions. They can easily get dropped or misplaced while doing many of Niagara’s exciting attractions. You could set down your purse in a taxi or a bus and leave it in there if you are distracted by carrying souvenirs or bags from shopping at our malls and boutiques. This leads me back up to the first point of finding a hotel that speaks to your interests. If you are already situated within the vicinity of attractions that you wish to frequent, than locking up your passports and important documents in your hotel and easily walking to and from where you wish to go makes sense. Stress-free vacationing!

Save Travel Costs While Parking in One Lot for the Day in the Center of it All

This is a large lot located off Clifton Hill and Victoria Avenue. You are short walk from the Fallsview Casino, the Skylon Tower, Queen Victoria Park, viewing the Niagara Falls, shopping options, and all of Niagara’s hottest attractions, including the up and coming Niagara Speedway attraction to be opened in the Spring of 2018 (projected date of June 1st).

Family Vacations: Travel Tips for Niagara Falls

Leave a comment

Reading Time:  5 minutes -Family Vacations: 5 Tips for Surviving Family Travel in Niagara Falls 
If getting prepared to go on a vacation wasn’t stressful enough trying to get the house in order, keeping the workload to a minimum, and arranging for a house and pet sitter, you now have to deal with rounding up all the kids and getting to where you need to be — all while ensuring that the task is stress free. Through trial and error, you will eventually find ways to keep family vacations a success. Here I will share 5 tips to make for smooth, hassle-free family vacations to Niagara Falls.

1

GIVE YOURSELF LOTS OF TIME


You can’t just leave on a dime like you used to. Gone are the days of spontaneity, and this goes for all ages of kids. Packing for a family vacation requires a lot of planning out and extra luggage. Got a baby? Don’t forget diapers, baby wipes, extra clothes for guaranteed “spillage”, baby food and formula and medicine, a stroller…the list is endless. Toddlers? I made the mistake once of forgetting the pack and play. Unless you plan on running after your child 24/7 with no break whatsoever, this one is huge! Of course if you are taking a flight you won’t be bringing this, so it helps to book with a hotel that has cribs readily available. Definitely use this as a selling feature when booking ahead. If a crib is provided to you, remember to inspect it first.  Many are old and structurally unsafe, and others come with bedding– such as folded full-sized sheets– that could present a hazard to your sleeping child.
Packing aside, just getting children dressed, fed and ready to go — without temper tantrums is a feat. Make your family vacation the smoothest transition as possible. Allow time for washroom breaks and don’t forget if your child has  a tendency to get motion sickness to bring the Gravol!

Book Ahead and Look Into Family Vacation Packages


via niagarafallscliftonhill.com
Finances can get really tight when budgeting for a family vacation, and if you have babies or toddlers, chances are that this is a time where finances are the most strenuous. I’ve learned that you should never book your vacation more than 4 months out or you will be paying an arm and a leg. Ideally, aim for 8-12 weeks in advance and be flexible on departure and arrival times. Also, I find it helps what days of the week you choose as well. For instance, Monday – Thursday will be cheaper then Friday – Monday. Weekend rates will definitely be higher in cost.
When money is tight, it is important to stay close to the hottest attractions without straying too far from your hotel. Clifton Hill has all the World Class Attractions Within A Block of Niagara Falls!
It doesn’t hurt to sign up for newsletters on hotel chains that you already like, so that you are well informed of any upcoming room deals. There are plenty of hotels in Niagara Falls with great mid-week room deals and family package deals, such as the Niagara Falls Family Fun Package at the Howard Johnson Hotel by the Falls. Stay in the know by signing up for their newsletters, blogs and generally just doing research ahead of time.

Be Prepared for the Climate


Children dressed comfortably for the weather and terrain will be happier. Pretty simple right? But this one tends to get overlooked. Check the Niagara Falls weather forecasts before you leave, and make sure you are all dressed for the environment. Don’t forget hats, gloves, umbrellas and comfortable shoes! It’s these little things that make all the difference between a happy child and a complete meltdown. If you forget to bring these items, your hotel will have a nearby shopping outlet to purchase what you need.
A great bonus to staying close to the Clifton Hill area hotels, is the close proximity to the Canada Trading Company. They have some great kid essentials in there, such as comfortable “Crocs” footwear, umbrellas, hats, gloves, sunglasses, etc. Not to mention, they carry interactive games to keep them occupied in the hotel room. The old adage “Hope for the best but be prepared for the worst” is so true.

Remember to Bring the Tablet/iPad and Download Apps


There are many toddler friendly apps nowadays, and thanks to technology you don’t need to necessarily cram your luggage with toys to make the family vacation enjoyable for everyone. Download movies and games to go, and choose apps for your Smartphones that are very helpful for traveling with babies. For example, “KIDzOUT” is a free apps that is a must-have tool for families on the go. Diaper changing stations, kid-friendly restaurants, parks and medical facilities are listed here for the places that you wish to travel. You can add and rate locations…making it a useful parent-to-parent tool!
5

Prepack Your Own Snacks


Inevitably the best part about being on vacation is not having to worry about doing any cooking, and you’ll want to dine at different Niagara Falls restaurants anyhow as part of the whole family vacation experience. However, for snacks on the go and to save a little money, pre-pack some healthy, good-for-you foods ahead of time to slash costs and avoid any road trip pit-stops on the way because of hunger pains. Fruits, veggies, granola bars and trail mix are great options. Also, don’t forget about plenty of juice and water that the kids can fill up on between meals — keep them feeling hydrated and fed to reduce the chance of mood swings!
Whether you are planning a family vacation road trip, or via air, these are all helpful tools I found to keeping the peace within the family dynamic, while keeping the cost low and staying prepared.
