For decades newlyweds and romantics have flocked to Niagara Falls for memorable getaways. These days they are sequestering themselves behind the doors of the Sterling Inn & Spa, the only boutique hotel to grace this epic region. Built in 1928 and once the home to Bordens Dairy, it was eventually converted into a nightclub and restaurant during the 1980s, and is now part of the Preferred Boutique portfolio and part of the Preferred Hotel Group. Its transition into a hotel started in 2005 with original architectural elements, such as the exposed ceiling beams and three-story milk-bottle entrance, incorporated into the new design. The result is a hybrid hotel combining the best of a luxury resort with the intimacy of a fine inn. Rooms tend to be spacious and thoughtfully appointed with oversize beds, roaring fireplaces, wet bars, and ample-size bathrooms equipped with raining shower heads and body jets. Suites offer not one, but two rooms with sitting areas and plush bedrooms.

My Fiancé and I went to Sterling Inn & Spa the weekend of January 23rd. The room we stayed in was extremely nice. Very modern looking, lots of space and very clean. The breakfast in bed in the morning was amazing! They provided gluten and lactose free options which got rave reviews from my Fiancé and we only picked from the options that were included with the room and did not cost any additional fees. Without paying for any additional food, we were both full with the amount of food that was provided. The location was great, walking distance from Clifton hill or a quick drive from anywhere you could need to go in Niagara Falls. We had an original plan of staying from the 23rd to the 25th of January but the 25th was also the day where Toronto got roughly 50cm of snow. The operations manager for the hotel was extremely helpful in accommodating us to adjust our reservation due to the inclement weather. We already plan on going back and experiencing more of the services that are offered here when the weather gets a bit warmer!

We were greeted by a lovely women who checked us. Our room was perfect as was the hotel. Breakfast was the best especially when it is delivered to your room. Very close to all amenities and Clifton Hill. Highly recommend this hotel.

The location was easy to get to and within walking distance of everything, especially the Falls. The atmosphere was so warm, welcoming and relaxing! It was clean, beautiful and gorgeous. The rooms were huge and equipped with anything you could need. It was well worth every penny and more! We did not want to leave and will be back.

We had the pleasure of staying at this boutique like hotel on New Year's Day for one night. All of the staff are super friendly and very helpful. Our room was huge with a small kitchenette and a nice seating/lounge area. Mattress was so-so but not completely awful either. Perhaps our room was just next in line to be getting a new one soon. We also had a little terrace which would have been great during the summer months but it was too cold to enjoy this time of year. The highlight of our stay was the "Breakfast in Bed". You fill out a card, choose a time and leave it on your outside room the night before. Our breakfast arrived right on time with french press coffee, fruit, yogurt, juice and the best freshly baked croissant I think I have ever had!! This is how a hotel breakfast should be. The on-site restaurant was closed as it was New Year's Day so we cannot comment on that but it does get great reviews. We are looking forward to another stay and will definitely be back. I think we just discovered the best kept secret hotel in NF.
