What guests think

At Holiday Inn Express & Suites Buffalo Airport by IHG, travelers highlight the airport-convenient location and friendly breakfast team, but many also report active renovations causing dust, facility closures—especially the pool/hot tub—and disruptions in common areas.

Rooms range from newly renovated, comfortable spaces to older units with maintenance issues, noise, or cleaning lapses. Service is mixed: numerous guests praise helpful staff, yet others cite slow or chaotic check-in, unreliable shuttle hours, and poor communication about closures. Breakfast is frequently considered a strong point, though occasional shortages or equipment problems occur. Overall, expect a convenient airport stopover with variable conditions during renovation.

This facility was undergoing a complete renovation, pool was closed, breakfast area was broken up into two areas. They did the best they could do under the circumstances but I likely would have stayed someplace else if I had known they were doing a renovation!

Convenient location across from airport however the hotel no longer offers a shuttle service to/from airport. It’s not as easy a walk as the front desk implied and you certainly wouldn’t want to walk it at 5am. The “taxi service” they recommended at the front desk appeared to be a one-person service who was rude when I inquired about an early morning ride.

This property is heavily under construction. I had no idea I was walking into a full construction site when I booked my room. I couldn’t believe they still are charging people full price. If I had known, I wouldn’t have booked there. Last year I stayed there and it was so lovely and this year it was an expensive mess. The breakfast was served in a temporary dark room shoved to the side with construction dust in the air so I skipped it. The AC was pretty much ineffective and my throat was irritated by all the dust. I’m frustrated I wasn’t warned beforehand and I was still charged full price.

This property is old and needs updates. Room was not vacuumed, dirty fridge with half empty beverage cups and straws in it. Front desk was polite and seemed fine BUT as a woman traveling alone, felt very uncomfortable with one random man sitting in lobby by front desk at 12:45am, also another man sitting outside the front door. I decided not to stay the night and left.

Hotel is very dated and extremely dirty. Even the windows haven’t been cleaned in ages. Carpets haven’t been vacuumed in I’m Not sure how long. Looks like they have started to renovate but the hotel needs a major cleaning before they do anything. We thought about switching hotels but more a a pain since we are only here for one night and leaving early. Staff was great checking in. Area is a bit sketchy and weird.

The toilet and shower were dirty but the rest of the room was modern and clean. No one was at the front desk when I checked out. The lock on my door was in poor condition—it broke so I could not get into the room one night and it took a long time to fix while I waited in the hallway. The staff in the breakfast area worked hard and did a good job.

The AC makes unbearable noise and is not for sleeping you can't even listen to the TV. To make it worse no help from the front desk staff. They said they knew the problem and all the rooms had the same issue and also said that it was a management issue. Had a bad experience and will never come or recommend this hotel to anyone.

The room was nice, but the check in was slow and, as we found out at midnight when someone knocked repeatedly on our door because the room had also been assigned to him, seriously screwed up. The night front desk employee then came to our room twice (at 1a and about 1:45a), pounded hard on our door, said we were not in the system and, clearly thinking we were interlopers, demanded to be let in. We thought we had worked it out with her that we had indeed checked in and paid for the room, but later in the morning (8ish), another employee actually came into the room just as my husband was getting out of the tub. Clearly there are problems with the check in process or software. Also, while the employees were nice enough and apologetic, they need training in how to handle this sort of situation (they could have called us on the room phone). The manager has said he will provide additional training, and he is waiving our room charges. All in all, though, it was a stressful night for us.

We selected this hotel because of the shuttle. We planned 4 trips because we booked this place at the beginning and end of our trip because it was close to the airport and there was a shuttle. We were able to use the shuttle 2 of the 4 planned trips. I let the place know that we were arriving at Buffalo late; when I called, they said no problem. We arrived about 15 minutes later than expected; I called and was told that the shuttle stopped about 10 minutes ago. The guy said he'd try to find the driver because we could tip him the amount that we'd pay an Uber. Fair enough. When I called to check on it, the same guy said I'd have to find my own way. Glad I checked back. The trip on the second stay was at 15:00 which I assumed was a normal time. We were told that there was not going to be a shuttle until 17:00. We had to get a taxi. The shuttle was only used for 50% of our needed transportation. The rooms are a bit dated. The friendliness of the desk workers is hit and miss. Some were great but others... The lady in the dining room was extra friendly and cheerful.

I would not hesitate to recommend staying at this hotel.

It is a short distance from the Walden Galleria, which is convenient for shopping and other restaurants. There are other hotels in the immediate area so that is what surrounds this hotel. It is very close to the airport .
