It’s okay. It’s a bit rundown but fine to spend the one night to move into University. Elevator was out of order during our stay. Breakfast was ok

The hotel elevator is not in operation; if you enjoy walking up to the second or third floor, then this will be an enjoyable stay. The hotel rooms are clean and comfortable. The bed and bath linens are fresh, clean, and white. The hotel staff are friendly and helpful in every way. The breakfast is generous, with fresh eggs and sausage, yogurt, bagels & breads, cereal, and coffee. The dining room is very bright and clean. The swimming pool is small, but very comfortable to relax in. I had an enjoyable stay.

The convenience of the property was countered by the inconvenience of the hotels maintenance issues. The elevator was down, the doorknobs leading to the stairwell were falling off, and I cut my foot on something sharp in the pool.

The elevator has been out of service for a while, and we got a room on the 4th floor even though my wife has a knee problem. The bathtub was clogged although the fixed the on the following day, but the bathroom was not very clean and the room smelled funny. We called the front desk for extra towels and soap, but the staff told us we had go downstairs and get them ourselves. The house’s keeping staff was very loud early in the morning. Definitely not a good stay; would not recommend.

As mentioned, service, conditions, comfort, etc were good; very difficult to see entrance to Comfort, and having registered for two rooms under my name, I get one on the 2nd floor, and the other on the 4th floor corner, hearing all highway traffic from Buffalo University…. Will re consider in the future.

The rooms are large and the beds are comfortable. The linens are clean and fresh. The flat-screen is large 50". Th e refrigerator and microwave are new. I enjoyed the pool, and my rate was fantastic!

First. The positives-friendly staff, very clean, amenities such as the pool, solid location and real breakfast, not just some fruit, bread, muffins and cereal. The negatives-rooms are too small and uncomfortable, especially the bed. Second, you must request ckeaning staff to come to your room to remove trash and dirty towels, and even then they'll get to you when they decide too. I requested this service and they show up three days later. If I hadn't put the trash and dirty towels outside the room they would have still been there. Too late of a start for breakfast was another negative. Last, elevator was not functional the entire stay and that's bad when you're on the third floor and have to take bags up several flights of stairs. It wasn't a complete negative stay, but not worth the money paid for the room. I'm not sure I would stay there again as there are better hotels, but not an entirely negative experience.

Ironically named hotel. Never have I been in a more uncomfortable run-down hotel and room. The elevator was broken and they put us on the third floor. That would’ve been tolerable, but the room was almost uninhabitable. One of the queen beds felt like lying directly on boxsprings. It HURT. The other bed felt slightly better. But both were terrible. Toilet seat was broken. TV did not work. Spent over an hour with staff and a”master” hotel remote trying to fix it. My kids were tired and upset. I asked to be moved due to the bed and broken tv but desk staff was very rude. Said they didn’t have any other rooms but I know that wasn’t true. She finally admitted they didn’t have staff to reset our current room. But she was rude about the bed as though I was lying that one was far worse than the other. I challenge someone to go test the beds in the room. One is very uncomfortable. But the other is so painful I wouldn’t make my dog sleep on it. General manager was supposed to contact me about refund. Still waiting. Avoid at ALL costs. (I did not think to take pictures of the bed area but it looks as run-down or worse than bathroom).

The only thing I can complain about is the fact that the elevator was broken and we had rooms on the third floor. We had quite a bit of luggage since we have been on the road for about a week. On the brighter side, the front desk manager graciously helped us carry our stuff up to our floor. He did not have to do that and I really appreciate his taking the the time

The hotel is in a good location, convenient to airport, highway, university area, and Niagara Falls. The grounds and public areas were clean and well maintained; staff was friendly. The room was a mixed bag. It was dated- lots of chips in the furniture and paint. The room was overall clean- no stains on the linens, fresh towels, spotless bathroom. But there was a lingering smell of old cigarette smoke and chemicals used to cover that up. The carpet is old and was likely the culprit for that. The room felt damp. If the hotel removed the old carpeting, it would have been a perfect stay.

Signs said housekeeping would refresh every three days Im ok with that, but i expected them to refill in room coffee supplies especially cups. Exit by our room was accessible from the outside with our room key, but the relesse latch to go outside was broken and you couldnt open the door- which felt like a fire safety concern. Pool was very small, ok for young kids, not really for teens or adults. Overall decent value for price

Staff is very nice - but definitely some issues with this hotel. Our shower had no pressure at all - pretty much a slow trickle of water. Free breakfast is pretty basic, but the coffee is downright awful. I’ve never had worse coffee in my life. I’m not sure what they did - but it is truly hot garbage. I could care less about the quality of the food - but it sucks to wake up and have such crappy coffee. Please fix that at the very least.
