The rooms are a bit of a throwback in time with the 4:3 TVs, real metal room keys, and lack of an iron in the rooms (there are hair dryers & coffee pots in the rooms & an open wi-fi network is available) however, the cleanliness of the hotel, amicable staff, & convenience of the location provided a very positive...

My husband and I attempted to stay here last weekend while visiting family. We brought our dogs along. We left the two of them in the room (one was crated) so we could go have dinner. When we came back we had a message that we could not leave the dogs alone in the room. Apparently one barked a few... More

The place maybe old, but the rooms are well kept. It is very close to Prometric testing center. Highly recommended for those who are taking their exams at Prometric. Breakfast is provided and wifi is free. The stuff are courteous and approachable. Worth every penny. More

We stay at the Lord Amherst a couple times each year, and we expect to keep staying there for our trips to Buffalo. The beds are comfortable and everything is clean. Their coffee is good in the morning, and the breakfast is light but satisfying. The internet connection is free and fairly fast (I got a few Mbits/second - good... More

My husband and I were traveling from NH to AZ with our cat for the first time. I was trying to keep to a low budget. I read many reviews both on the AAA Trip Tik sight and here and I called each hotel and asked about pets and bed bugs. This hotel accepted pets at no extra charge. While... More

Thank you for letting us know about your pleasant visit to the Lord Amherst. We're glad you were comfortable in the guest room and found the breakfast plentiful. Yes, the new ownership is making some improvements and they are certainly aware of the need to keep the price affordable. We greatly appreciate the feedback. More

Just off the New York State Thruway in the Buffalo suburb of Amherst, the Lord Amherst Motor Hotel is a real find. It is well maintained with wide halls and spacious rooms. Our bed was excellent and the windows open which is rare in newer buildings. The lobby was inviting and comfortable, but best of all the adjacent, independent restaurant... More

There is nothing special about this hotel. The rooms were ok and i may not go back to this hotel. This is very old hotel . For the cost that i payed i could have got a better deal. For one going to Niagara falls i would recommend booking something well in advance and avoid going on long weekends. More

Nice location, the people were friendly but this is an old hotel. Very few updates. Bed frames were sagging. We paid $109.00 for weekend nights. Should have been $70 to $80. More

I should start by saying that the old adage - "you get what you pay for" - rings true for this hotel. It is inexpensive, which is good, but it has issues, which is not. The rooms are large and the bed (a king) was fine. Others in our group had rooms with two double beds, and except for one... More

I've been to this property twice and I had a great service on both occasions. Love the wireless internet and the free continental breakfast. The property is well kept. Yes it needs to have a bit of a modern update but it is clean and comfortable. The also have an outdoor pool that looks to be in great condition. Overall... More
