I stayed at Comfort Suites Downtown in July while taking the NY bar exam. The hotel location was great. Walking distance to the convention center, so no worries about transport for the exam. Breakfast was pretty standard, but a good start to the day. A TGI Fridays is located in the hotel, so if you don't want to venture out, you can still head downstairs and get food (and alcohol!) to break up the studying. Tea and coffee station was available to guests, as well as a computer to check in online etc. Free airport shuttle was offered. This was a bit hit and miss. The hotel did not make it clear that they were using another hotel's shuttle on the day I arrived, so I waited for an hour at the airport for a shuttle, when there had been one waiting when I got there. Also, I booked the shuttle for my return trip to the airport, it was late. Luckily, I had anticipated this and booked an earlier shuttle, but another guest who was in the same shuttle had not, and was close to missing his flight. Room was everything I needed, separate bedroom, and a living room with a desk for studying, refrigerater, microwave and coffee maker. With the free shuttle, breakfast, walking distance to the convention center, and TGI Fridays, this hotel reduced many of the extra worries about travelling to Buffalo to take the exam and allowed me to concentrate on the exam itself. Definitely recommended for anyone taking the bar or with business at the convention center.

Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience. I am glad we were able to provide the services you needed. I am sorry about the shuttle situation. Since that time we have purchased a brand new shuttle and no need to borrow. Transportation to and from Airport is no longer an issue.
