$1,525 for two nights sounds expensive. But here’s what that price actually got our family at Niagara Falls during Fourth of July weekend. 🇨🇦

📍 Sheraton Fallsview Hotel
5875 Falls Avenue, Niagara Falls, Ontario

💰 $1,525 total for 2 nights
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 4 of us + Grandma
📅 Fourth of July weekend, during peak summer season
🍳 Breakfast included
🚗 Valet parking included for 2 days
🏊 Pool + spa
🍽️ Restaurants + convenience store on-site
📍 Clifton Hill right around the corner
🚶 Easy access to many Niagara Falls attractions

One important thing about the price: we stayed during a holiday weekend in peak summer, so I would not use our $1,525 rate as the standard price. Your dates, room type and package can make a big difference.

For a Niagara Falls family trip, location was a big factor for us. We could walk to attractions, come back when everyone needed a break, and head back out without constantly getting in the car.

If the Falls view matters to you, check the exact room category before booking. Not every room will have the same view.

Save this for your Niagara Falls trip planning.

Would you pay more for a Falls-view room, or save on the hotel and spend more on activities?

No signal in another country is stressful enough. Trying to figure out where you’re going at the same time makes it worse. 📍

Before an international trip, we download offline Google Maps for the places we’ll be driving.

For our upcoming trip to Provence, France, I’m saving a large enough area to cover Marseille, Aix-en-Provence, Gordes, and our other planned stops in the Luberon.

A few things to remember:
• Download the map while you have Wi-Fi
• Make sure your day trips and the roads between them are inside the downloaded area
• Test the map in airplane mode before you leave
• Offline Google Maps can provide driving directions, but you won’t have live traffic, transit, cycling, or walking directions without a connection

It takes a few minutes at home and can save you a lot of frustration when your service gets spotty abroad.

Save this Google Maps travel tip for your next international trip, share it with your travel partner, and follow for practical family travel tips from a family that actually uses them.
