Great hotel & friendly staff

Great hotel & exceptional service at front desk. Not full service but good if you don’t need that. Just complimentary basic coffee in lobby which is fine (not breakfast) & Kitchenette came in handy, but food scent can linger in room. Great place for the price and close to Univ of Buffalo (North Campus).

Comfortable room, poor AC design

We came to the hotel to get relief from the extreme heat and reserved a 1 bedroom suite. The air conditioner was in the main living room, there was not anything in the bedroom. The design of the room was that they put a hole in the wall near the AC unit in the living room and screwed a vent cover on each side of the wall that went from the living room to the bedroom, which was a terrible design. The coolness only dripped into the bedroom, so we had to leave the bedroom door open (which was a problem for my autistic daughter who needed the door closed). Even with the door open the coolness was limited and made it difficult to sleep. The overall hotel was clean, the employee we encountered was nice and helpful. The room was comfortable, except for the heat.

Lindsey

The room was fine. I couldn’t find any remotes for either of the tvs. Didn’t bother asking it was only 1 night. But they took my card for incidentals and I’ve been charged for 2 extra nights. I’ve already called once without resolution. I’ve stayed there before but now I’m not sure I’ll stay again for that reason. It shouldn’t happen in the first place but I also shouldn’t have to call more than once to have erroneous charges reversed.

Stayed here 2 nights so that we could spend a day at Niagara Falls as we traveled east for mountain biking. The kitchenette was well equipped for our needs to cook our own meals.
