We have intially blocked 70 Rooms at the Marriott. They are broken down into two classifications, City View Rooms (50) and Falls View Rooms (20). City View Room Rates are $129 per night while the Falls View Rooms are $169 per night. As and FYI , there is a cost of $10 per night for our reserved parking (normal rates for parking overnight in Niagara range from 20-35 per night) We have negotiated these rates from Sept 3rd through Sept 12th for anyone that may want to arrive early/stay late and take advantage of all the area has to offer.
