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.

8/10 Good

"N comment."

Comfort Inn & Suites Niagara Falls Blvd USA

8/10 Good

"Room was clean and comfortable. The large drain pop up in the sink was a stroke of genius. Plenty of water pressure and hot water for shower. Room temperature became uncontrollable because it has motion sensor on it to resume a preset temperature when no movement is detected. We ended up turning the unit completely off. Bed was just ok. TV was a large Samsung with a very crisp picture. Complementary breakfast I would rate a "C" grade. In fact we ate at Denny's the second morning. Staff was welcoming and cordial."

Buffalo Airport Hotel

8/10 Good

"This was a convenient place to stay due to our early flight the next morning. The staff were really nice when we checked in. Though we did not do more than shower and sleep, it was a fine hotel for us. They apparently have an airport shuttle though we did not use it since we had a rental car. Close to the airport."

Holiday Inn Niagara Falls State Park Entry by IHG

8/10 Good

"he price displayed on Expedia was not the final total. When I arrived for check-in, I discovered there was an unexpected additional fee of 23.71 and a parking fee of 19.95. Expedia did not mention these charges, which came as quite a surprise. The staff didn't inform us that the coffee in the lobby was complimentary; I discovered that on my own. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable, complete with a microwave and a refrigerator. Food options around the area are very expensive, so I recommend bringing some frozen or refrigerated foods of your own."
