Absolutely outstanding staff! They could not have been better! Scott, the manager and other fill-managers (?) were extremely accommodating. We were a group of 15 or more in town for a funeral. The breakfast/lunch/bar staff were just the best!! Will definitely be staying there again!

Staff was helpful. We arrived about an hour early before checkin and were accommodated. All staff we interacted with were friendly. The hotel seemed dated. Pool was cold and the bottom of the pool all cracked. We went to the bar area in the evening, maybe 8pm- no one to be seen and lights off. Amenities disappointing.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff were exceptionally helpful. They had fresh baked cookies and bottled water available and were able to offer a lot of suggestions on locations for dinner/music, etc. There is no hot tub. On hotels.com it says there is a hot tub and there are pictures, but the hotel's direct website does not show a picture of the hot tub, so hotels.com needs to update this. The shower curtain was 2 feet (or more) too short for the shower. The room and beds were comfortable but the table appeared to be moved from where it was supposed to be and was too heavy for me to move. There is a small fridge and microwave and coffee maker which was nice. I appreciated that there was drawer space and a closet. The food was good in the restaurant. The table that was misplaced blocked one of the drawers however. All in all, this is a nice hotel and I would return.

Great location close to airport, downtown Buffalo as well as North towns and Niagara Falls! It’s also close to shops and restaurants on Sheridan but tucked away from traffic. Front desk staff are very helpful and friendly. Common areas are very nicely updated. I booked a room with a transfer shower because it’s difficult to step over a tub for me. We didn’t get that room when we arrived and our reservation was for 8 nights! Luckily it was resolved the next day. The rooms are spacious and comfortable with the exception of the mattresses which should be thrown out, both rooms were quite bad. No support, very uncomfortable! If 2 people get in on opposite sides the mattress puffs up in the center like a balloon and makes you feel like you are being pushed out all night! I don’t know if they were in the process of replacing them, there seemed to be a great deal of hotel trash near the dumpster area in the front parking lot…very unsightly. Lastly if a person had to use that shower in a wheel chair I don’t believe it’s set up correctly as there is no transfer bench so they would have to shower in the chair, it’s not deep enough for that. Also the drain doesn’t function as it should so the water pools well into the room. I worried about slipping on a wet floor if I had to use the toilet late at night. This hotel has a clean every other day and refresh the room on opposite days which doesn’t work if you want to leave later mornings, they skip and leave no towels or coffee supplies
