My brother and his family live near Miami, FL. The rest of our family all lives in this area, and they recently came up for a visit. They stayed at the Comfort Inn Clifton Hill while they were here. They weren’t there too often as they were usually visiting with family, but they did enjoy it. The only 2 complaints they had were about the toilet paper (not very soft) and the continental breakfast. They liked the breakfast, but they were there when the hotel wasn’t very busy, so some of the items didn’t seem very fresh. Over the weekend they said it was great.

They loved Boston Pizza and the kids loved the Niagara SkyWheel. They also enjoyed the pool.

Overall I think they were very happy with the staff, the room, the rate and all of the things to do in the area. They just didn’t like the cold weather!

I went to Chapters on Saturday and noticed a book on Niagara Falls. That got me thinking that I should do some book reviews or reports. When I looked up the book I had seen, I found several others that I may ask for. I present them below not as any recommendation, just as information:

Journeys to the Brink of Doom

In the Mad Water: Two Centuries of Adventure and Lunacy at Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls: A Guide for Tourists

From ZWNews.com:

Canada has rejected a proposal by Zimbabwe to twin Niagara Falls and the Victoria Falls in a marketing strategy President Robert Mugabe’s government hoped would help attract more western tourists to his country. Late last year, the Zimbabwe Tourism Authority (ZTA)’s chief executive officer, Karikoga Kaseke announced that his organisation would take advantage of a tourism road show into Canada this year to negotiate a deal to have the marketing departments of the two world wonders cross-promote them to their visitors. But in a recent interview with MAP Feature Service, Anna Pierce, the manager of Niagara Tourism, an arm of the Ontario Province’s tourism department, said the Canadian authority would not entertain the idea because of Zimbabwe’s deplorable human rights record and its meddling in matters of commerce.
