Niagara Falls Hotels

A proposed class proceeding has been filed on behalf of consumers who paid certain fees related to hotel stays in Niagara Falls, Ontario.

Case Details

This proposed class action has been brought on behalf of all individuals in Canada who, while acting for personal, family, or household purposes (i.e. not for a business purpose), paid a fee described as “DMDF”, “DMC”, “LF&T”, “Local Fee”, “Resort Fee”, “Hotel Fee” and/or “Tourism Promotion Fee” in relation to hotel accommodation located in Niagara Falls, Ontario at one or more of the following hotels (the “Hotels”):

  • DoubleTree Fallsview Resort & Spa - By Hilton;
  • Courtyard by Marriott Niagara Falls;
  • Wyndham Fallsview;
  • Best Western Plus Cairn Croft Hotel;
  • Comfort Inn Fallsview;
  • Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Niagara Falls, ON; or
  • Crowne Plaza Niagara Falls - Fallsview.

This action alleges that the Hotels are violating consumer protection legislation by making misleading and deceptive representations regarding the fees they charge consumers in relation to stays at the Hotels. The main allegation is that the Hotels misrepresent the nature of certain fees by presenting them in a way that suggests that they are mandatory and legitimate government-imposed fees or taxes when in fact they are not.

The action seeks, among other things, to recover the fees from the Hotels for consumers.

If you have paid any of these fees in relation to a stay at any of the Hotels and are interested in participating in the proposed class action or learning more about the proposed class action, please fill out the form below.
