Wyndham Garden Buffalo Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast area was clean, well organized and well stocked. Food was hot, good variety and quickly replenished. Rooms were clean comfortable and spacious. Our favorite part was definitely the staff. They were so friendly and very helpful to us. Jean the asst GM alerted us to an oil leak on our vehicle and her staff, Jason and Felix helped and assisted us while there. They were great! We didn’t catch all the names but sure did appreciate their caring and concern as we were 13hrs drive from home. They went above and beyond and we could not thank them enough. We would most definitely book this hotel again, if in Buffalo. Their kindness went a long way!"

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Buffalo Airport

10/10 Excellent

"I did not have breakfast so can not comment on that, I can however say that the staff (especially Antoine and the gentlemen that picked me up after taking my car to park and when I landed in Buffalo on 3/30 was so kind and very friendly (I wish I had gotten his name but I do know that he loved to fish) all of the staff that I dealt with were very friendly and helpful). I would highly recommend anyone looking for a great hotel rather flying out of Buffalo or vacationing in Buffalo a great place to stay. "

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Buffalo Downtown - Medical CTR by IHG

6/10 Okay

"Very convenient to the theater that was the best part. The hotel needs a make over like yesterday. Most things were out dated in the rooms. Toilet so low to the floor felt like a toddler. The track for the shower door was stuck I had to get a way in and out. Too many people loitering in the lobby just chilling like its the hang out spot. Didn't like that. Not enough parking or designated handicapped or street parking"

M Hotel Buffalo

6/10 Okay

"Room was not ready an hour after the check-in time. Desk was nice and upgrading our room, the new room had no AC. When front desk was contacted, someone came at 8am, touched some buttons and left without communicating anything to us or fixing anything. Then, toilet wouldn't flush. We let them know around noon, they contacted us at 11:30pm if we wanted to move rooms. Parking was easy and always available and breakfast was good and runs pretty late. "
