What guests think

At Quality Inn Buffalo Airport, reviews highlight a very convenient airport location and shuttle access, but also frequent complaints about unavailable or limited breakfast during renovations, widespread cleanliness and maintenance issues, and a generally worn, under-repair property.

Service feedback is mixed, with some friendly, helpful staff and shuttle assistance, but also reports of rude interactions, poor responsiveness, and difficulties obtaining refunds. Rooms are dated with noisy or faulty HVAC and thin walls noted, though a few guests found beds comfortable. Several reviews mention strong smoke or marijuana odors and an uneasy atmosphere in common areas. Expect a basic, convenient stopover near the airport, but manage expectations about condition and breakfast availability.

My seat belt in the shuttle bus was broken. The driver didn't seem concerned. Noticed the cream in the breakfast area was never refrigerated after breakfast. Left sitting out all day.

Let me start by saying that I paid $280 per night for this stay.......if I had paid under $100 I would have expected this. The hotel looks like it is in the middle of some sort of renovation that is about to happen, but it is not. I don't even know what to say about the general areas.....the room had no working wifi until the morning when we were checking out. The TV was on but then when we turned it off we could not get any channels or the option to do anything. The phone flashed constantly as if there was a message and when we went to clear it, there was nothing to clear so it would not turn off. We had to unplug the phone. There was holes in the wall in the bedroom area, mold in multiple spots, especially the bathroom The toilet ran constantly and did not flush, I had to fill the back with water from the ice bucket to get it to flush each time, but then it drained in 10 min if I did not use it in that time. The shower rod was hanging off the wall, the water barely came out and the drain did not drain, so we did not shower in someone elses shower water The only good thing was the beds being comfortable, we got in late (11:30 at night) so that was perfect, unfortunate to wake up to all the negativity The breakfast was standard and a nice option to have. Parking was not an issue.

Where to start, welcomed by a skating rink for a parking lot, entrance had a lovely fresh smoked pot aroma, room was disgusting carpeting old torn and dirty, bathroom fixtures all loose ready to fall off. Vent covered in black matter, strong cigarette smell throughout room and hallways. Cobwebs dangling from the ceiling. I could go on but I won’t.

Front desk lady staff is extremely rude. She doesn’t have any respect towards the guests. Always talks in shouting manner. When I asked about the airport shuttle (reserved), she was rude and denied the request to drop me at airport. When I asked the reason for a denial of service, which I specifically reserved for early morning shuttle, she went on argument mode and even threatened to call police. Never met such an extreme rude person at front desk in US. Such a shame for the QualityInn to employ such people at front desk. With this incident, I completely took off QualityInn from my list of hotels for future stay. After the fact I went to google and checked the reviews and found similar feedback from many customers. I hope hotel management takes necessary steps to address these concerns.

Definitely not recommended at this time as they are currently under much needed renovations although nowhere does it state this. Property is extremely neglected, parking lot was a solid sheet of ice. Condition of the room left a lot to be desired, headboard from one of the beds was on the floor, phone didn’t work and there was no smoke detector. Breakfast was also not available due to renovations.

This property is rundown. The molding was all missing. The lobby and breakfast area had boxes of clothes and only one table. The entire building smelled like Marijuana. The outlet covers in the room were broken and wires exposed in the bathroom. The door safety lock was made out of a coat hanger.

Mold on the heater, the shower rod was damn near falling off the wall, the water pressure was non exsistent, there were not enough outlets for the lights in the hotel room, 3 of the lights did not have outlets that they could be plugged into, there was about 2 inches between the bottom of the door and the floor, there were open wires hanging from the ceiling, cobwebs in the corners of stairs, broken vents throughout the halls says, abd it was not clean looking though out.

Absolutely terrible experience. Told the front counter that our room was dirty and his response was “oh, well we don’t have anyone to clean it until tomorrow” (we were checking out in the morning). He never offered to change rooms for us either. When I asked if we could get a refund for the reservation so we could go to a new hotel, I was told that there was nothing he could do for us. I would rate this a 0 out of 5 if I could. I will be seeking a refund through their corporate office for this absolutely terrible experience

For what I paid with points I wasn’t expecting much. And my expectations were met. Nothing to grand about this place. I stayed one night and it was okay. Needs another renovation. Especially with competition in surrounding areas.

We booked a hotel near the airport that advertised breakfast as included. To our surprise, there was no breakfast. A complete scam. We had to have breakfast at the nearby McDonald's, which was of very poor quality. The hotel retained the deposit and never refunded the deposit. Any positive aspects of the experience were overlooked in the face of such absurdity.
