We did this a couple of years ago. Rented a car at Buffalo airport, no problems with border or customs at all. We stayed at Hilton w/ view of the falls. Big hotel, big $$, lots of people, very crowded, the falls are absolutely stunning! Everyone should visit, kinda on the scale with the Grand Canyon...

I agree with all of the above. If I don't see something that suits me on the dessert menu, I will have a Bushwhacker, perfect dessert! The Ocean Grill at Mongoose Junction has FABULOUS desserts!
