Greg Stogren from Tuned Perfection found some accommodations if you are attending June Jitterbug in Niagara Falls.
Tuned Perfection
I've found our new host hotel for the June Jitterbug weekend. The show takes place June 14, 15, and 16 2019 with the 14th being a meet and greet and possibly watch a movie at a local drive-in, while the 15th is the HUGE VW cruise through the Niagara area and the 16th is the big show and swap meet at Fireman's Park. The hotel this year is The Cadillac Motel located right in the heart of the action on Ferry Street between Stanley Ave. and Clifton Hill. Check it out here http://www.cadillacmotelniagara.com/
They have a great rating on Trip Advisor and I stopped in to meet the proprietor last Friday. If I get 10 rooms she will give us each room for $99!!! Online it shows a rate of $149 for those dates. Parking is FREE and there is a TON of restaurants and attractions within walking distance. Parking next door for trailers. There is a grassy area in the rear with picnic tables. I am super pumped for this one!!! With the classic theme of the hotel and the location, I think this will be THE happening spot this year. If you want a room you need to tell me what you want (there are only 5 rooms with 2 beds) and I'll get them booked. Let's act fast so we can secure this sweet spot!!

VW Australia set out to create a commercial that would mock legislation of what they could show and couldn't show on TV - with cut scenes, story-boards, etc - and actually managed to get the commercial banned from TV on the same day as winning "Ad of the Month" in an advertising industry publication.
