The 202-room Ramada Plaza Niagara Falls is a large, mid-range property popular with families (for its indoor and outdoor pools) and partiers (for its proximity to casino-packed Niagara Falls). Situated a 10-minute drive outside of downtown Niagara Falls, some rooms and common areas of this hotel are renovated, while others are in need of a major update. Rooms are equipped with mini-fridges and microwaves but walls are thin and the hotel gets uncomfortably busy and loud during holidays and high season.

This budget hotel is an older property, and can at times feel worn. Rooms are fairly large, but are dated and can have minor cleanliness issues; some face the parking lot. The hotel does provide a number of convenient amenities, including a restaurant on-site, free Wi-Fi, free daily parking, a bright indoor pool, and a lobby shop with souvenirs and conveniences. There is a fee for overnight parking, but other inexpensive parking options are nearby, and the property is within walking distance of the Skylon Tower (about 10 minutes) and the Niagara Parkway (about 15 minutes).
