Property was just average, but for the price it was not worth it. The first room Was not clean, had hair in several locations and had wallpaper peeling. The second room wasn’t much better. The pool was out of order. The room rates were very high due to a sports game.

I honestly was disappointed by many things at this property. 1. No airport pickup as advertised on the website. 2. No free breakfast as advertised. 3. Free water is limited. We need to buy after that. However, there is a gym where we can refill it. 4. The shampoo and liquid soap bottles were empty. I informed the helpdesk and they assured it will be filled out, however, no action was taken. Pros: 1. Clean and spacious room 2. Nice location

The hotel was dirty in general. The hot tub was closed a couple months ago and that was the main reason we wanted to stay here. The pool was disgusting, cloudy and severely polluted with hair and debris. The bathrooms are outdated. Overall we were disappointed.

It wasn’t the absolute cleanest or most kept up with hotel that I’ve stayed in but it definitely wasn’t the worst. It could use some maintenance and upgrades for sure. A few people in our group didn’t have working sinks, no cold water only scalding hot, and the ac/heating only blowing on ac or only blowing super hot. The employees were nice and very friendly. Oh and there is no hot tub/whirlpool even though they advertise they have one. Other than that the stay in general was okay. We didn’t feel unsafe in the area.

The hotel rooms were in rough shape. There was mold on the fan and some in the shower. The floor in my room looked like it was ripped up and raised up because someone had spilled water. That was so soft. It did hurt my back. One employee at the front desk was very nice. She was lovely. Everyone else was nasty. They were short they ignored us and they really did not seem happy to be there.

Stayed here August 2023 and I loved it. Very clean and well maintained. They also offered a free shuttle which I used in the evening to go out for dinner. Went back March 2024 and there was a noticeable difference in the cleanliness of the room and overall hotel. Microwave in the room was dirty, stained towel, dusty room and the TV had no satellite the 1st night there. They fixed the TV the 2nd night. They also no longer offered the shuttle. I won’t go back.

So the front desk first of all, I guess they have it hidden somewhere that you get charged $75 a night just in case something happens to the room so you will end up paying over 150 dollars in incidentals . It’s better than the other two hotels that are on top of each other and they share one parking lot so there’s not enough parking for all three places .there was a foul smell by the pool area . you could hear a pin drop in the next room so that was a problem trying to sleep. The bathroom was clean, but it’s a stall shower and a toilet so you can hardly get out of the shower because the toilet is right on top of it. It’s a weird design because then they have the sink outside ,so is it worth all that money not really is it decent to stay a night maybe two I guess

I will not go this property again because coffee maker machine was horrible. Room cleaner never clean this machine. I saw that fungus on it. Inside machine lot of fungus. Room size was small. Toilet was small. Hotel prize was expensive. It shows that 4 ( four) star. But actually it will be 2 (two) star. According to the room prize there was no morning breakfast. Please don’t try to go this hotel. Try to go Marriot hotel. Cheaper then the double tree by Hilton hotel.

Place needs a bit of work. Bathroom is cramped and ignored by maintenance. Air conditioner was so loud and vibrated the floor which transferred into the bed. Walls and baseboards are in need of repair. Bed was comfortable which was most important for a nights stay. Walls are thin and you can hear the other guests as well as the hallway noises, ice maker and elevator doors. Should have been better for the amount of money spent for one nights stay.

I stayed at this hotel for one night. The front desk staff were friendly and efficient—and the cookies were a nice touch! Unfortunately, the property itself is showing its age. The bathroom was very small, the toilet didn’t flush efficiently, though the shower did have plenty of hot water. The wallpaper had visible wear, with some areas peeling away from the wall, and the door required a firm push to close completely. Around midnight, when I was trying to sleep, there was noticeable noise from the back parking lot that sounded like people chatting or having a small party. On the positive side, the bed was comfortable, which made for a decent night’s rest overall.

Took me a half hour to check in despite being 2nd in line. The first room I was given smelled like a break room for the cigarette smokers in the hotel, my family waited in the hallway and I went back to wait in line, they gave me another room but only after my wife had to bring down the other room card.?? The 2nd room had both barrels filled with trash and a television that didnt work 60% of the weekend. When i contacted the front desk I was told "I am the only person in the hotel". The service at the bar was great Thursday and comical Friday and Saturday, bartender would literally disappear with a female companion in the kitchen for 20+ minutes at a time. Nice guy, terrible bartender. The red roof in next door looks like a shelter with groups of people hanging outside 24hrs a day. I will say the proptery has plenty of free parking and is right off the highway. Also when inquiring about a potential 4th night more than one of us was told they had no rooms despite every app possible showing they had plentiful options. Didnt see a manager to even talk to in the 3 night stay. I will definitely try my luck somewhere else next year.

Worst Hilton hotel we have ever stayed in . We were there for the 4th of July long weekend with the family for 2 nights . Both of our rooms were dirty . We called the front desk 3times to request room service. No one showed up . Then I went to the front desk to request for the room service still no one came .we were traveling with a sick 6month old baby . All we wanted was a clean room and a clean bathroom. Room floor was very sticky and dirty . I will never stay here again.

I am very disappointed in my recent trip that I planned for my girlfriend's birthday. First off, there was no cookie ready when we checked into the hotel. The receptionist told us that she burnt the batch. We proceeded to wait in the lobby for over an hour and she never informed us when the cookies were done. We went up twice and asked and she said they weren't done. Finally, an hour later we saw her give the cookies to someone else. It was ridiculous that she did not tell us that they were done when she knew we were waiting. This is one of your promotions that you advertise so you would think the staff would make sure they have everything in order. This was not the level of service I was expecting from this caliber of a hotel. How rude to leave someone waiting especially when we were celebrating. Also, the coffee room was disgusting with the plates from breakfast still sitting on the counter past 3:00. We didn't even want to enjoy our coffee in the room and proceeded to drink it in the lobby instead. Definitely not what I expected from a 3+ star hotel, especially for a birthday trip. What a letdown that ruined out entire birthday celebration. I was expecting much better. I always remember Doubletrees being so much classier in the past. Thanks for listening to my feedback, Michael McCoy

Staff seemed frazzled and were a little rude at check in; Many people waiting for rooms to be cleaned after the 3 pm Check in time; we requested an extra towel and were told a washing machine was broken so they would bring it later, never received the towel- the room floor was “sticky” so we just used kept our shoes on. All in all I would stay here again.

Review: The staff was polite, and check-in and check-out were smooth. However, dining options were limited at 5 pm, so we had to go out for food. My bathroom needed better ventilation and didn’t appear fully clean, so I ended up using my own supplies. My room was right by the exit, which made for easy access but meant constant noise from the door all night, impacting sleep.

I was disappointed with the service upon arrival. The front desk lady was nice, although when I entered the hotel no one was at the front except a serving waitress whom did not look like she enjoyed her job. She did not say hi or smile. I arrived at 830pm and asked what time the bar and restaurant was open until and they said she was closing it right then. Your website said it was open until 12am. I ended up having your cookie for dinner, which I will say was delicious, but would have appreciated the restaurant staying open. There was hair in the shower and lots of dust bunnies in my room on the walls and roof.

The closeness to the University at Buffalo was the biggest factor in why we chose to stay at the Double Tree. If my daughter chooses to stay all four years I would absolutely be visiting this property again. The price was great, property is very clean, staff was very welcoming and helpful. Fitness center and pool was a great bonus. The only negative were the drinks at the bar. My wife and I bartended for many years and we weren't happy with what we were given. From the mixed drink to a straight shot it was clearly diluted. It was a minor negative but when we do go back we just wont be going to the bar. Aside from that this property is absolutely a 10.
