Embassy Suite Niagara Falls - Christmas 2008

We had a fantastic Christmas getaway at Niagara Falls. The Embassy Suites Niagara Falls - Fallsview hotel is in a breathtaking location, just 100 yards from the bank of the incredible Niagara Falls. The fallsview suite was incredible. (I could stay in the room with LP for the whole day!) The hotel lobby is like a mini Bellagio! There was complimentary snacks and drinks at the manager reception, atrium lounge area outside the Keg restaurant. The snacks were jelly beans and nachos - all the kids gone crazy! The red wine was crappy that I flushed it down to the toilet. The beer was very reasonable though. Embassy Suites Niagara Falls offers complementary cook-to-order breakfast at the Keg to EVERYONE. We were told that the line-up would take half an hour, and were invited to the T.G.I Friday restaurant. There was water leakage from the ceiling that they needed a bucket to contain the yellowish water. The service was non-existent.

Hilton Niagara Falls - Christmas 2008

We went to Hilton Fallsview Hotel, Niagara Falls for the Christmas holidays. Good work as usual guys! The Watermark restaurant is the main reason to be there, as if we were on TV!

Favorites at Woodbine Racetrack

That was one of the most satisfying Christmas dinners. The Favorites is located on the 2nd floor of the building overlooking the track. Favorites dining room is open specifically during live racing only. The dinner buffet was $36.5 plus tax. The prime rib, shrimps with spinach cream sauce, and salmon fillet were all very good. The scent of the house red was fantastic, although I like my own house red better. The cakes were gorgeous. (LoPo, do you want to have one more creme caramel?) Address: 555 Rexald Rd, Toronto.
