“Poorly Run”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2012

We had a terrible experience at this hotel and would recommend staying at the nearby Marriott instead. We reserved a room and a roll-away bed for our family of four. We called ahead before embarking on our trip to confirm that we would need a roll-away bed. The desk clerk confirmed this, but upon arriving at the hotel after a ten-hour drive, we were told that there were no roll-away beds available. When we noted that we had reserved one, we were told that they consider these to be "requests," but that no guarantee could be made that one would actually be available. Of course, this was about the most absurd policy we had ever heard, not to mention that we had specifically called ahead to confirm that one had been reserved. We were told that others had arrived before us and that all had been given out on a "first-come, first-served basis." When we asked why one hadn't been set aside for us given our on-line reservation and call ahead, the assistant manager said she "would not deny a guest a bed." We noted dryly that she just had. The hotel was over-booked and there were no other or additional rooms available, so we left and drove two more hours to a hotel with more intelligent and professional management.

“Family Holiday trip, had two suites Very pleased”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Staff was very friendly. Breakfast was very good, clean and kept up. Bed was comfortable. Housekeeping did a good job cleaning. Came in every night to make beds and change towels. Rooms a little bit small for a family of four. Overall. Great experience. Lobby was very nice, had fireplace on, Holiday music, cozy couches and chairs to sit at. Had our family come back to hotel to hang out and spend time together in the Lounge room. Will go back again.

“Great service at Homewood Suites!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We spent the Nov. 19th wkd. at this hotel and the service was exemplary! The front desk staff, especially Joelle was most helpful. As a former employee of Hampton Inns, she knew what we were asking for and baked some cookies for us. The 1 bedroom suite we had was spacious and clean. The fitness facility was first rate, with treadmills, elliptical, bike and free weights. If you have the opportunity to visit the Amherst Buffalo area, make reservations for Black and Blue Steak and Crab, an excellent steak and seafood restaurant.

Room Tip: Select a room on the north side, as it will be a little quieter, as the hotel is close to a highway...

“Wedding Block”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We reserved 18 rooms for our son's wedding this fall. The hotel was fantastic with making reservations, adding more rooms, helping us with a banquet room and letting us use the lobby in the morning and at night. The complimentary breakfast meals were wonderful. The Thursday complimentary dinner was a pleasant surprise. Our rooms were spacious and worked well with the kitchens and living room area. The staff knew me by name and also knew the room numbers of all our guests when I requested help with little details. All our wedding guests could not believe the facilities and the beautiful rooms. We would highly recommend the hotel. The wedding block price was incredible.

Room Tip: all the rooms were great

“Good except for bed”

I've stayed here before and like it, but the mattress during this stay sunk too much in the middle. And, since the bed is one of the most important aspects of a hotel, i felt like I paid way too much.
