Can we walk to . . . .

We are coming in on a Friday for only one night. Staying at the Crowne Plaza. Can we expect to be able to park at Crowne Plaza and walk to the falls, Maid of the Mist, Cave of Winds %26amp; visitors center from there and not have to use our car and worry about finding parking? Our hope was also to be able to walk back to the falls after dinner to watch the Friday night fireworks show. Is it a ';short stroll'; or a ';major hike'; to get there?

Can we walk to . . . .

If %26#39;short stroll%26#39; means 2-3 blocks to everything, then it%26#39;s the perfect description.

Can we walk to . . . .

We stayed at the Crowne Plaza last year. It was easy to get to all the visitor sights - we only used our car to travel across to Canada. Took about 10 mins. to walk to the falls.

Thanks for the quick repsonses. Sounds like we%26#39;ve made the right choice as far as ';ease'; of location.

UKTouristScotland - how did you like the Crowne Plaza?

We like the Crowne Plaza very much. The rooms were freshly decorated and of a good size - ours overlooked the Casino which was good fun - something different for us, coming from a Scottish village! The pool was lovely and warm, although I guess if you%26#39;re only staying one night you probably won%26#39;t have time to use it. We ate breakfast there - the food was good, but the breakfast room was a little hectic. It%26#39;s a big hotel and busy, but a good choice, I think. Remember to get your parking ticket validated at the hotel desk - that way you won%26#39;t have to pay for parking when you exit the parking lot.

UKTouristScotland - Thank you for your info on the hotel. Because we are only staying for two days and one night, I want to plan a few ';touristy'; things as efficiently as possible, and still allow a little leisure time for just wandering around. Thanks so much for your help. Hope your stay in the U.S. was all enjoyable.
