The Final Destination
Our final destination on the Erie Lakeshore Trek, which unintentionally put us here on Easter weekend. Plenty of Hacidic Jews, Indians, and other non-believers sharing the experience. A perfect couple of days plus the benefits of being HHonors Silver at the time, which justified benefits not typically found at American properties. A little cool but we had wonderful weather . . .
The Fallsview Hilton
The pictures are much more impressive than the view let's on to, though we did have a great view. The suite had a great jacuzzi pass-through bathroom that gave views even while sitting in the bathroom. Despite it being a holiday weekend, this place was hopping with the indoor pool mobbed by kids, makes you wonder how the place is on a busy season. Also, when you consider this is a major honeymoon destination, not much is left for romance, but I suppose that is what the jacuzzi tub is for.

Where we stayed . . .

- DO go to the Cafe Tu Tu Tango for dinner, OMG what is this place doing here?!? Doesn't even show on the Cafe Tu Tu Tango website, this place must've been licensed or is a Canadian knock-off. The service was miserable, even called Brad Weiser's office about it, though they didn't seem to care much about it. But the food was definitely the real deal and we snatched up a
Inside our Hotel Suite
A falls view Junior Suite with jacuzzi . . . ooooh! fancy painting for crazy $400. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
- DON'T go to any of the tacky tourist places, so you really don't need more than two days MAX here. In fact, come see the falls, do a couple things here and there and you are good to go!
