Hello fellow traveller, You have posted this question in the wrong place, Houston Texas is very far from Niagara Falls. You might try aTripAdvisor search for Niagara Falls-Hotels and see what comes up, there should be plenty of options. Keep in mind that Niagara Falls hotels might be listed for both Canada and the USA. Make sure you get a hotel in the country you are visiting and if you plan to cross a border have the proper required ID and documents. Have fun and take lots of pictures, Niagara Falls is lovely.
