I have previously written about the hotel, the room, and the restaurant at the DoubleTree Resort Lodge & Spa in Niagara Falls. I also included links to pictures and videos. This is the final posting in the series. Overall, we had a great time at the hotel. The service was exceptional. There are many hotels…
I’ve had this ready for a while and have just never posted it. I recently grabbed a pamphlet for the Skylon Tower Fun Centre. I’ve scanned it and included the images, text, and PDF link below: Front of pamphlet Skylon Tower Fun Centre We Make Smiles Happen Food Court section Mr. Sub Orange Julius DQ…
From Niagara This Week: There are very few foods chef Jeff Stewart won’t try at least once — no matter what it looks like or what it’s made with — as he tours the globe looking for culinary adventures. In fact, it’s this open-to-anything attitude that has led the Niagara College culinary teacher to his…

We are a family with three small children, so we rarely eat out anywhere fancy, so it was kind of odd taking the kids with us to Buchanans Chophouse. Since this was the middle of December, the hotel was not very busy, and there was only one other table occupied in the restaurant. We were…

Graham, my new website is up and running it is located at http://niagaraiswonder.com I don’t use a mailing list any more. I use the toolbar located on the site which has a message system built in.

We had a suite on the 19th floor (actually the 18th as there is no 13th floor). This was at the end of the hallway on the top floor. It was almost like a small apartment. The first room that you went into was a small living room. Then there was a short hallway where…
