When is the best time to go to Old First Ward?

The best time to visit Old First Ward is during the spring (late April to early June) and autumn (September to October) months. These seasons offer pleasant weather with comfortable temperatures, making it ideal for exploring the area's outdoor attractions and walking through the historic streets without the extreme heat of summer or the chill of winter. The spring brings blooming flowers and a fresh feel, while autumn is known for its beautiful foliage, adding to the district's visual appeal. Couples often find these times particularly romantic for strolls along the waterfront or enjoying outdoor dining. The milder temperatures are superb for visiting local breweries or the nearby Canalside district, which hosts various events during these shoulder seasons. Solo travellers will also appreciate the comfortable conditions for independent exploration of the neighbourhood's art installations, architecture, and local eateries.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel’s cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Old First Ward hotel for you.

Top Old First Ward Hotel Reviews

Sheraton Niagara Falls

10/10 Excellent

"The bed was very comfortable we really liked it how comfortable they felt we had a nice bed and a nice room"

Comfort Inn & Suites Niagara Falls Blvd USA

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms are well maintained and clean. The breakfast was decent although had limited options. The staff was helpful - our door key reader battery had died one night, and the staff helped replacing it themselves despite the engineer not around. It is about 12 min drive from the falls and we used the free shuttle service one morning. The room was the best part, with the free parking also being a very useful complementary benefit."

Sleep Inn & Suites Buffalo Airport

8/10 Good

"Bath door needed replacing. Evidently it had been kicked in and door was repaired but not very well. The suite was really large and at the end of a seven day trip appreciated. Staff were all friendly. Prefer non scented shampoo and conditioner. Parking was good. Previous reviews raved about breakfast but hash was really salty. Most hotels serve high sugar yogurt so Greek would be appreciated. Low salt and sugar diet makes it difficult to eat most hotel breakfast."
