If you are driving from Detroit to Niagara Falls, don't just stay on the 401 and 403. They are fast (4 lanes) but there is nothing to see! Take some of the secondary highways and wander along Lake Erie through the smaller towns and villages and actually see the countryside. Niagara on the Lake is wine country and there are lots of wine tours and beautiful bed and breakfast places. Hotels are fine but the smaller spots are more interesting and there are lots to chose from. Enjoy your trip.
