Friends of ours have stayed here and they recommended it, so we thought we'd give it a try. Yes, the furniture is dated (we even had an avocado coloured sink and REAL keys for the rooms), but it was clean and the staff were very friendly! I've stayed in 5 star places where the staff looked and acted like they... More

I needed to stay overnight in Buffalo before a drive over to Canada and chose this hotel. The price was really good and at $67 for a big sized room including breakfast and very neat at that, I shouldn't complain.It has this dated look and feel in the room with classic old furniture and TV even. I arrived late at... More

This hotel could use some updating, but the only complaint I have is the mattress was uncomfortable for me. Yes, the room is older, but it was very clean. We had everything we needed, and for the price in that area it worked out perfectly. The lobby with fireplace was very cozy, and I was impressed with their complimentary breakfast,... More

Needs updating, but everything was very clean, and staff was very friendly and accomodating. It's great that the breakfast is included in the cost of the stay. The breakfast is very carb heavy, but that's standard for continential breakfasts offered by hotels. I would stay here again.

This hotel is a great deal, and right next to Buffalo. The rooms were a good size, very clean, and plenty of hot water, and service was great. The free breakfast was a big bonus. It's a great hotel for the money.

Stayed for 2 nights during a wrestling match. We got a connecting room. Like everyone has said: The hotel WAS older but very clean. Staff very friiendly. There were many families staying there and it was pretty sound proof. Beds were older but comfortable. Breakfest waffles were really good. I would stay there again if I were in the area.... More

We stayed here overnight on 2/22 for a concert in Buffalo. We were very pleased by what we saw when we walked into the lobby as it had the look of an older but very well kept place with a large lobby with plenty of seating and a fireplace going. When we got to our room we found it to... More

Dear NukedNative, I am apologizing on behalf of our entire staff for the experience that you had when you stayed with us. I will completely agree, an unreceptive front desk and crumbs (or any remnants of a past stay) in your room are totally unacceptable. I am so disappointed that you had that glimpse, as this is most certainly the... More
