Comfort Inn Clifton Hill has closed its doors

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 Hotel Reviews on the Comfort Inn Clifton Hill

Reading Time:  4 minutes -With hundreds of Niagara Falls hotels to choose from, how do you pick a hotel that is the best suited to your needs? When you read posts from companies that operate hotels you know that they will push their facility and try to prove why they are the best accommodation choice for you. It’s one thing for a Niagara Falls hotel to dictate to you what their perceived strengths are, but isn’t it far more believable to hear the reviews from the people who have stayed there themselves?
The Clifton Hill Niagara Falls Hotel received a winning “Travellers’ Choice” award just last year for being a top “Family Hotel”, and continues to maintain a reputation for being one of — if not the top choice for a Niagara Falls hotel with the closest proximity to the most popular Niagara Falls and Clifton Hill attractions, with rates that are fair and reasonable for families on a tight income. We don’t claim to be the Hilton Hotel, but we do claim to be the hotel to go to for comfort, savings, and easy access to the heart of Niagara Falls. Your kids will love stepping out onto the balcony and being within reach of the Niagara SkyWheel and the Dinosaur Adventure Golf…and you will love being able to view the Niagara Falls Fireworks from the privacy of your own room. Fun, romance and adventure await you in Niagara Falls, and at the Comfort Inn Clifton Hill we want to make sure that we cater to each of you.

Niagara Falls Hotel launches all-new website for Spring

Reading Time:  2 minutes -Niagara Falls Hotel launches all-new website for Spring 2011
Comfort Inn Clifton Hill has officially released a new website today: http://www.NiagaraFallsComfort.com.
Guests of the Comfort Inn Clifton Hill have high expectations of quality, style, service and satisfaction when they s tay on Clifton Hill’s World Famous Street of Fun by the Falls. They can apply those same expectations to the hotel’s new website, which has been redesigned from the ground up, and offers a wide range of features and a stylish yet intuitive layout.
“Our goal from day one was to create an online experience built around our guests’ needs,” reflected Nicholas Tritchew, the website’s project manager. “We know that our guests want an ideal blend of simplicity, speed, usability, stylish design and function. After months of hard work and long hours, we’re confident that we’ve done more than meet our guests’ high expectations – we think we’ve exceeded them.”

Click Here to See the Site Live

The hotel’s website advancements and improvements include:

  • A fresh colour scheme that delivers a stylish, exciting and engaging look and feel – particularly on today’s high-resolution monitors.
  • A redesigned layout that allows for simpler, more intuitive navigation.
  • Large “mega menus” and buttons to help guests easily and rapidly reach their online destination in a single click – optimized for both tablet and standard computers.
  • An interactive Google map that gives visitors a fascinating “bird’s eye view” of the attractions, dining, entertainment and shopping that are all steps away from the hotel.
  • A colourful photo and video gallery of some of the hotel’s features, such as the large tropical indoor pool and various guest room options.
  • A helpful travel guide section covering the Niagara Falls area
  • Large, easy to access icons for guests to “like” or “follow” the hotel on Facebook or Twitter, or to check out videos on YouTube, or browse photos on Flikr.

While many aspects of the website have improved, other features appreciated and valued by guests have been preserved. For example, guests can still: quickly check room prices and availability in real-time, or easily build a custom package by adding the Clifton Hill Fun Pass or tickets to Marineland Canada.
“Ultimately, while the new website has our name on it, it’s really not entirely about us,” added Tritchew. “It’s about our guests, and about making sure that they get everything they expect from our website – and more!”
