COMFORT INN CLIFTON HILL CLOSURE

The End of an Era

On October 13th 2015, the long running Comfort Inn Clifton Hill closed its doors forever. The hotel will be removed in order to make way for an extensive entertainment development coming to Clifton Hill’s world famous street.

Since opening in the 1950′s as the Park Motor Hotel, the 185 room Comfort Inn has experienced many changes over the years. For a time, it was considered one of the largest hotels in the area, and featured the ‘Queen’s Door Restaurant & Lounge’ and the ‘Yard In the Park’ pub which later became the ‘Rathskeller’ German pub. The Queens Door Lounge & Rathskeller hosted regular live entertainment and was a popular destination for locals as well as tourists. In the late 70’s the hotel became the Venture Inn and The Queens Door Restaurant was closed. The Lounge was made into the ‘Park Terrace Café’ then a convention/banquet hall, and then ultimately the ‘Poolside Café’ breakfast area for guests staying at the Comfort Inn.

During the 1980’s, the Venture Inn became part of the Choice Hotels franchise and officially changed its name to the Comfort Inn. Around this time Rathskeller became ‘Rumours Nightclub’, which quickly became Niagara’s top social hub. In the late 90’s Kelsey’s Restaurant was added to the hotel, next to Rumours, and continues to operate featuring: a diverse menu, oversized outdoor/indoor patios and regular live entertainment.

It was nine years ago, when the Golden Griddle and the former Quality Inn were removed completely to make way for the massive Niagara SkyWheel and Dinosaur Adventure Golf development, directly in front of the Comfort Inn.

Then a few months ago, Rumours Nightclub was closed after 34 years of operation, to be part of the extensive Comfort Inn site redevelopment, by parent company HOCO Entertainment. The company has a strong track record of staying current with industry trends and are committed to bringing bigger and better entertainment options to Clifton Hill, enhancing Niagara Falls tourism as a whole.

The hotel would like to thank its many loyal customers that have made the Comfort Inn their choice over the years, and welcomes customers to their supporting properties which include the same great attractions, restaurants, retail shops, they have frequented while staying on Clifton Hill. In the same great location and attentive staff you have come to know and trust.

Niagara Falls Casino Contest!

Reading Time:  4 minutes -It’s that time of the year when Clifton Hill takes a little bit of a break from the chaos of Summertime. It’s just before Christmas and people begin to really watch their budget. The Comfort Inn Clifton Hill room rates are considerably cheaper in the Fall/Winter months than any other time of the year…and now they added a Niagara Falls Casino contest!
This is one of the best times to travel to Niagara Falls, or to simply get away for a staycation. Fewer people travel in December than the most popular months of June to August. This means less crowds, less lineups at popular Niagara Falls attractions, some great deals and there are still some great Niagara Falls events going on in the region — especially with Christmas on the way. As an added incentive, the Comfort Inn Clifton Hill is taking part in a Niagara Falls casino contest — book a room on either Friday, December 6th, 2013 or Saturday, December 7th, 2013 and you are automatically entered into a draw for $200 worth of casino game tokens to use at either Casino Niagara or Fallsview Casino.

 So what is going on during those days?
For starters, the Winter Festival of Lights is in full swing! This famous festival transforms the Niagara Parkway into a Winter Wonderland that attracts up to 1.5 million tourists annually both locally and internationally. This year, festival organizers have set up about 20 Korean lantern displays to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the end of the Korean War and 50 years of diplomatic relations between Canada and South Korea. This year’s festival features 125 displays and three million tree and ground lights. The festival runs from November 4th, 2013 to January 31st, 2014.


Conveniently, the Fallsview Casino is running the Fallsview Casino Christmas on Ice show until the final day being Sunday, December 8, 2013! It’s a thrilling high paced spectacle of world-class ice skating and features national championship ice skaters, dancers and singers that will fill you with the magic of the season. Tickets start at $25 and there are various showings. If you are interested in booking on the two eligible dates for the Niagara Falls casino contest, here are the showings:
Friday, December 6th, 2013: 9:00 pm. Click here for ticket info.
Saturday, December 7th, 2013: 3:00pm & 9:00pm. Click here for ticket info.

Make sure to grab your camera and check out Niagara-on-the-Lake, just a short distance from the Clifton Hill Niagara Falls Hotel . On December 6th and 7th, 2013 from 10:00am – 4:00pm the 15th Annual Rotary Holiday House Tour commences. The most gorgeous historic properties are decked out for the season in holiday decorations by local businesses and volunteers. The tour operates regardless of the weather.
Purchased tickets ($25) can be picked up between 10 AM and 5 PM, 7 days a week, at the Niagara-on-the-Lake Chamber of Commerce, on the lower level at 26 Queen St., Niagara-on-the-Lake.

Of course the Clifton Hill Niagara Falls Hotel is not only walking distance from both the Casino Niagara, Fallsview Casino and the Winter Festival of Lights, but it’s also located right on Clifton Hill itself where all the attractions are open this time of the year — and Friday and Saturday nights until 12:00-1:00am for most attractions! The Niagara Skywheel has heated gondolas for your comfort, so no matter how much the temperature drops, the ride is open and offers spectacular one-of-a-kind views on the Niagara Falls and the surrounding landscape.
The best value for your buck is the Clifton Hill Fun Pass, where you get 5 Clifton Hill attractions for only $25.95+tax/Adults and $19.95+tax/Children — these include the Niagara Skywheel (TWO admissions if you purchase online), Dinosaur Adventure Golf (dependant on weather) OR Galaxy Golf, Movieland Wax Museum, the XD Ride Theatre and the Ghostblasters Dark Ride — plus a bonus of 5 tokens to use in the Great Canadian Midway!

There is so much to see within Niagara Falls, this is only a short summary of events that fall into the days of December 6th and 7th, 2013 — just a little added incentive to book on one or both of those two dates in order to be automatically entered into the Niagara Falls casino contest! To get started, click here. Good luck and enjoy your visit to Niagara Falls and your stay at the Comfort Inn Clifton Hill.
