One of the nicer hotels in the area

Exactly as advertised. Clean, easy to book and check-in. Staff was helpful. There were a couple amenities that were unavailable or temporarily out of order, but nothing important to us. Hotel is at the end of a No Outlet road, making for less people traffic and a safer experience. Would stay here again.

We booked a suite months prior and at check- in which was an hour after check- in started, we were told our room wasn’t ready. We could wait 30 minutes for them to clean it. The excuse was they had many check-outs that morning and hadn’t gotten to the suites yet.

The premises were clean and well-maintained, and the breakfast was adequate, though nothing particularly noteworthy. However, the air conditioning in our room was rather noisy. We seemed to become accustomed to the sound after a day. Additionally, there were some stains on one of the bed sheets and a pillow. Upon informing the housekeeping staff, they promptly replaced them for us. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

We were in town for a Buffalo Bills game. It was very snowy and the parking lot was well plowed. My only issue was the TV didn't have the channels correspond to the guide. I was unable to locate local news r Spectrum YNN. Kind of a quirky problem with the service. Otherwise, my stay was very enjoyable.
