"Affordable and convenient hotel in downtown Buffalo with a good breakfast provided and a spacious room."

"Our 4th floor room was spacious and full of light with a lovely gas fireplace and street view. The bathroom was huge and the shower and amenities were great. Free glass of wine/beer is a nice touch. Breakfast was fine. It’s a lovely place but unfortunately our stay was not restful and it made us exhausted for the 3 nights and 4 days we stayed there. Fire alarms went off for 10 minutes the first night with no staff in sight or announcements telling sleepy guests what to do or if we needed to evacuate. It took ten minutes for fire trucks to arrive and promptly leave. No explanation or apologies were offered by staff the next morning, although when we inquired, we were told a steamy shower set off the alarms (huh??). It ruined our sleep for the night and we were exhausted at our daughter’s medical graduation the next day. The second night, we were shocked out of our sleep by fire crackers or something like it in the wee hours of the morning. The next night we were plagued by the all too common drag racers who rev their engines as they race up and down Delaware Avenue. This happens frequently and the cops don’t seem to care. It may have been quieter on the backside of the building but we will probably never find out. The other distraction is the heating system which is so loud and noisy and cycles on and off every few minutes throughout the night. As I said, lovely place but not at all restful. "

"Clean, large room with plenty of parking. In May 2026, the restaurant was permanently closed, and no other lounge scene so the lobby is dark and quiet. Also, people seem to live in the hotel, maybe a multi-purpose property. So the vibe is unusual. It is walking distance to many bars and restaurants."

"Comfortable and clean rooms, free breakfast and parking"

"Clean room, nifty concept and decor. "

"This was the most unique stay I’ve ever had. Completely hands off from the hosts (unless you need anything which they are only a call away) Feels like it’s your home while you stay."
