“Great Hotel - Wonderful Staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012
4
people found this review helpful

We're visitors for Toronto who come down two or three times a year to Buffalo to dine, shop and visit some of the great architecture in the city, or one of the excellent museums (The Albright Knox Gallery, The Darwin-Martin Frank Lloyd-Wright House to name a couple). Sometimes we come down to enjoy less highbrow fare - A Taste of Buffalo, The Allentown Art Festival or the chicken wing-ding! Buffalo has its challenges but there's a lot of great things in the city, if you look beyond the rustbelt cliches.

We've tried out a couple of other downtown hotels but Best Western Inn on the Avenue is now our firm favourite. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The rooms clean and roomy (you can ask for a bar fridge too), a very nice complimentary breakfast with an array of choice (including a pancake maker) and there's even a parrot called Simba in the lobby! What more could you ask for?

The hotel is a stone's throw away from funky Allentown with great restaurants, a great second hand bookshop (called Rustbelt), Fat Bob's incredibly good barbecue joint and the world-famous Anchor Bar.

If you're looking for Michelin that this is not for you. The hotel is a little old. The hallways are not heated/air conditioned. The heating/airconditioning in the rooms is a bit rattly and not everything is 100% gleaming perfect all the time. But the staff will rectify any problem immediately and cheerfully and the place has loads of character and good vibes. Now that we've discovered it we would never think of staying anywhere else. We've also pointed friends to it and all have come back with glowing reviews.

We had a bird's eye view of the Turkey Trot Marathon- well worth seeing 13,000 plus people go right down Delaware- The room was clean- smallish- but you are int the city! Takes dogs-the staff a plus plus for being so nice-I really liked Buffalo- worth seeing!

Room Tip: Second floor is the pet floor- so if you are allergic

“Park & Fly”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 October 2011

This is our second stay. A decent hotel with Park and Fly for a good price! This is a basic, clean hotel, with friendly staff, and breakfast available. Shuttle service to and from the airport was efficient. We will be back for our next park and fly!

“Very satisfied”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2011

people found this review helpful

I stayed at hotel over several days. My only slight grumble is the parking, not enough spaces for the rooms. I didn't see where else to go if the c/pk was full. One night-mid week- I got the last space.
Hotel is downtown so there was some street noise-mainly dumpsters. However, the hotel staff were very friendly. I was told everything the hotel had to offer and where to go for all day coffee and where breakfast room was. Some others I heard moaned about the breakfast but it is continental and for that I thought BW gave a good choice and even going in late ie after 9am, there was ample food left. There was a staff member in checking the level of food and keeping things tidy.
Room was very clean and toidy. Flat screen TV with ex reception/channels.
BW try to do their bit for environment and if you dont need fresh towels or sheets every day there is a card with instructions...If I come out the shower clean what do I need a clean towel every day for? Same with sheets. Shame they dont have recycling facilities in room. Am used to doing this and missed having seperate boxes for plastics and papers.

There is a fast food place across street and restaurant. I went to Gabriels gate which is a little bit away thanks to tip fm friends. Many of the locals go there. With a car, it is better to go over to Elmwood Av, nxt block, there are more coffee places/restaurants/shops etc. Top of Elmwood on Sat there was a farmers market to browse round.

If in Buffalo again I would use this hotel.

Room Tip: Try get a room, if poosible, that does not overlook hotel car park.

“very nice hotel”

My wife and I stayed here for one night on our way to Niagra Falls and were very pleased. This is a newer hotel with nice rooms and lobby and free parking. Continental breakfast was included. The hotel is within easy walking distance of several restaurants and is close to downtown. The young lady on duty when we arrived was very pleasant and helpful and we would highly recommend this hotel.
