                <description><![CDATA[We stayed at the 79-year-old Brock Hotel that is now a Crown Plaza Hotel but it retains all the charm that it had back in the day when Marilyn Monroe stayed there while making the murder mystery," Niagara" with Joseph Cotton released back in 1953.  Marilyn's room was in a back corner of the hotel for her privacy, but the view from that room is now blocked by the casino so we stayed in a room exactly like it on the same floor on the frontside of the hotel facing the falls.  <br><br>I think it is the only hotel in town where the windows open so we enjoyed the sound of the falls all night long and even from our in room jacuzzi.  <br><br>Before our trip we watched "Niagara" several times and during our three days there, we visited each of the filming locations and made a real adventure out of it.  Kinda romantic, don't you think?  It was our 30th wedding anniversary and we have always travelled to England or Ireland or the Continent so this was a big change for us. <br><br>Don't miss the bell tower! Try it... you will like it.]]></description>
