NOTE: there are 3 or 4 EconoLodge hotels in Niagara Falls NY, this is the one on 5919 Niagara Falls Boulevard, with the Falls-shaped fountain in front and the paper recycling plant across the street.
Went with a bunch of friends for a weekend event in Niagara Falls. This hotel was clean and the rooms looked brand new. The rooms are big, beds were excellent. No funky smells. The rooms were surprisingly soundproof; one of our friends had checked in and was waiting for people to show up - turns out he was next door to some more friends who were watching a playoff hockey game (hotel has Versus!) and he didn't know they were there.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. When we mentioned at breakfast that my roommate and I had forgotten toothpaste the desk clerk brought us a tube while we were there! It seems like a family business where some of the staff actually stays in an apartment upstairs from the lobby.
The lobby is nice, there's a little breakfast area on one side (we had bagels and cereal and juice, all just fine) and then the lobby area has souvenirs and brochures and a fish tank and turtle tank that was a big hit with the 2-year-old in our party.
There's also a little playground in the yard, and an outdoor pool that was well maintained although it wasn't swimming season.
Since we had several people staying, my friend called ahead and got a group rate - less than $50/night. We ended up with 8 rooms, all together.
There are a bunch of restaurants and other businesses within a mile on Niagara Falls Boulevard, we had no trouble finding a grocery store and gas and food and everything we needed. We did drive to the falls (American side) one afternoon, it's easy to get to and about 3 miles away.
I would absolutely stay here again. Best Econo-Lodge ever.
