According to a search I conducted a month in advance, the falls view guest rooms and suites at the Marriott Bonvoy hotel are between $150 and $600 per night. My room was more expensive because I was in the summer.

There is a live show at the falls.

The fireworks show from my bed made the nightly price completely worth it. If it's fireworks season, I'll book it again. I would go to another hotel with a different view.
