M Hotel Buffalo

8/10 Good

"i think the breakfast staff were trying to keep up with the demand since there was a lot of people there for the Buffalo Bills game and things weren't always available but filled back up in do time when pointed out."

Hyatt Regency Buffalo / Hotel and Conference Center

8/10 Good

"Great place to stay! Only complaints is there was no drinking water available in the room. I did go down to the marketplace and they had some on sale for 3$ I toom 2 and the front desk was kind enough to not charge and said have a good evening. The room itself was good, i'm very picky with washrooms, was clean but I couldn't wait to get out of the shower. My last complaint is the breakfast was included, I paid an extra 28$ through expedia for it. But in person at the restaurant its 24$ for the buffet. So i felt a bit ripped off to get it in advance, usually you get a better worth's of your money paying beforehand... that was not the case for a mediocre breakfast buffet. Was okay, nothing wrong with the food just not worth what I paid beforehand. Also front desk was laughing and having good conversation with those before me but then at my turn felt more strict and not sure why, maybe because I presented my Canadian passport as ID lol"

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Niagara Falls/Buffalo

10/10 Excellent

"I was pleasantly surprised at this Days Inn. Very clean! Spacious! Good Rate. The Desk Clerk was so friendly and answered all of my questions and also offered help in things to do, etc. The bed was so sleeping-on-a-cloud comfortable, and the pillows were excellent. I loved them so much that I asked the clerk what brand they were so I could order some for myself. Loved the no carpet in the room; I looked and felt so clean. I love that they had a frig and microwave - very convenient for leftovers. If you're expecting a 5 star upscale brand name hotel like Marriott or Radisson, then no, it is not that — But for a motel drive-up-to-the-door of you room type , it was excellent! It even had a clean outdoor pool. And best of all, the air conditioning worked great! The TV screen was large and had full cable access. Good counter top room for easy access to suit cases. The shower water pressure was not full blast, but the shower head spray was full enough to take a decent shower. Yes, I would stay here again and I recommend it to you."

Wyndham Garden Buffalo Downtown

8/10 Good

"This location was near all the medical centers so I feel pretty safe not that we wandered out the 1 mile radius complimentary shuttle was also very convenient as they took us to a restaurant within the one mile and picked us up after we were done the only thing I don't like is that they charge for the shuttle service to the airport if I would have known that then we would have stayed closer to the airport the breakfast was also good everything was tasty"
