What guests think

At Aloft Buffalo Airport, reviewers highlight the super-convenient location across from the airport with a free shuttle, generally friendly staff, and comfortable beds, while experiences with facilities like the pool, elevators, and parking are mixed.

Several guests reported slow or confusing check-in, difficulty reaching the front desk for shuttle pickup, and billing or incidental-hold frustrations. Cleanliness and upkeep vary, with multiple mentions of stained carpets, odors, and bathrooms or pools needing better attention, though others found rooms clean. Rooms suit quick stopovers but some noted noisy or faulty AC, dark lighting, broken fixtures, outlet or TV problems, and thin walls; breakfast is paid and on-site food options are limited and inconsistent. Expect a convenient airport stay with uneven execution.

We arrived and check-in took a bit of time even tho we already pre-booked online. The room was good at the start but the temperature started to climb as the day went on. We discovered that the AC was not working. In addition to the pool not being open. That was the whole perk of booking there. We went down and we were almost put on a floor lower than ours, I don’t see how that’s accommodating for something we paid so much for, the AC should have been checked before entering the room. It was just an okay experience.

Vibrant! Very attractive hotel with a lively bar and lounge area with a pool table, games, and many tvs for watching sports. Clean rooms and common areas. The gym looks really nice and there is an indoor pool right outside of it. Located near the airport with a free shuttle. The desk staff are kind and patient when assisting others. There is a 24 hour store with snacks and breakfast is available for purchase. Their breakfast sandwiches are pretty good.

Great location close to BUF. Only issue I had was with parking. Hotel offers long term parking for travelers which left me no parking in the hotels vicinity on the 1st night of my stay. Next lot was far away and the parking lot was lit poorly!

The stay was fine. We didn't spend a lot of time in our room anyway but Some lights and outlets didn't work in our room. The sink faucet hammered when you turned it on cold and one of the elevators was out of service. Could've been better but adequate for our purposes.

The hotel has stained carpets in the hallways. Also, one of the elevators was out of service on 9/1 and again 9/8. Very inconvenient. The place needs a reno.

The entire reason we chose this property was for the salt water pool. It was absolutely freezing. The kids and I spent very little time in the pool because it was so cold. Then our room wasn’t regulating temperature correctly and the shower wasn’t clean. We ended up leaving in the middle of the night because we were so uncomfortable.

The hotel is cool, easy to navigate,, and they honored my request to be near the elevator. The room could be cleaner—like the drain around the sink had pink mildew. The ceiling has lots of dust bunnies on it. Otherwise, it’s a good space.

The Hotel Exterior and close proximity to the airport is great. The hotel lobby front desk staff was courteous. The hotel lobby's and rooms are dirty. That was our first and last time ever staying at Aloft. We enjoy traveling frequently, and I must say that was the dirtiest room, I have ever seen. I had to clean the room and went and purchased my own towels, bedding and cleaning supplies. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to families, my colleagues or even strangers. Luckily we didn't have to spend much time there.

This hotel has a modern swanky feel. I would have enjoyed staying here had the room been clean. The sheets, sink and counter surface and toilet were clean but that was about it. The ironing board was scary to use. The carpet did not appear to have been thoroughly vacuumed. The bench in the room had wide slats between the boards that have not been cleaned. The shower was gross. There was brown sludge build up at the bottom where the glass and tile meet. There was mold spots several places on the grout. The bed and pillows were not very comfortable.

Elevator out of order entire 3 day stay, was promised it would be fixed first day, Room had no chair to sit in, only two bath towels,small TV, bed was comfortable. Asked for extra pillows that never came. Hotel in odd off road area right next to another hotel so Parking was hard as lot filled early and if you left during the day you had to park far away when you got back. Filled out pre check in form asking for daily room cleaning and towels for 2 people , they never came. Friendly workers but understaffed. Would not recommend for family or if you leave hotel in evening due to dark parking lot.

When asked at front desk, it took 20 minutes for someone there to acknowledge me, only for them to not look anytbing up and gave me off the top of their head answer when i proceeded to say they were smaller than queens. I even got out the tape measurer and beds were of double/full size. Unhappy that i did not get what i paid for

I gave the stay a 7 because, I called the reservation desk the day before check-in to ask how much incidentals were at check-in. I was told that the hotel didn’t have an incidental fee. I asked the agent if she was sure, she said yes. I then asked for the direct phone number to the hotel so that I could ask the front desk staff myself, as that didn’t seem right. When I contacted the front desk staff, I was told that the incidentals were $75. When I arrived the next day to check-in, I was told that the incidental would be $213.00, which was way more than what I pre-paid for the room itself and quite honestly, preposterous in my opinion. I asked if they could just turn incidentals off as this was just a local overnight disconnect from a lot of different things I’ve been dealing with at home. I just needed a quick getaway to just catch up on sleep and relax. I was told that couldn’t be done and the price was the price. It was a price I was not prepared for, as again this wasn’t a vacation out of town. It was literally a last minute overnight stay to just get some quiet. It’s been 3 days already and the hold hasn’t come off of my card. The hotel itself is nice and clean, but it seems no one from the front desk staff to the reservations line, has clear and concise information about their check-in process. I absolutely would not have booked this location, if I knew it was going to be all of this. I would have just stayed home!

Check-in staff member was rude. Got to hotel early and was told 2pm was the earliest check-in so we came back ar 2:15pm atvwhich time i was told that the Manager said no one was to ve checked in before 3pm. We then sat for 45 minutes in a noisy crowded lobby. Once we were called to front desk to check-in the only communication from the front desk employee was ID & insert your credit card he than handed me 2 room keys and then wrote the wrong room number on the paper the room key was incased in causing me and my wife to go back to the lobby and wait to get that sorted. Just an over all poor cystomer service experience.

We've stayed here a couple other times before an early flight out of BUF. It's nice to have a convenient location across from the airport, and somewhere we can have some food and drinks the night before and hit the sack early without worrying about a long, dark drive to the airport early morning. The bar and lounge are nice, but the food offerings are dreadful. Everything is microwaved or tastes metallic or something off. My husband couldnt really have anything off the menu first Friday of Lent, almost everything was meat. Our friends had to order Door dash, that's how bad menu was. But, room and shower were fine, TV didn't work though. Keep your expectations to a convenient airport location with a comfy bed, and you'll be fine.

The room is nice and clean but they didn’t clean the room while you out for the day and there isn’t any free breakfast as it shows you have to buy breakfast and the sucky part you can only order what’s on the menu you can’t do changes to what they have cause they have no price for it like just wanting a side of eggs was an issue just wanting a side of fruits was an issue but other then that my stay was good very nice staff I must say they make you wanna come back.

Room was clean. Was supposed to have daily housekeeping, but it didn’t happen. I didn’t complain but was disappointed. They don’t have a free breakfast and limited items to purchase for breakfast. I purchased a breakfast biscuit and the biscuit was very hard. The bar (5-10pm) had a few food items in the evening. I order a Caesar salad one evening and it had enough dressing for four salads, so didn’t enjoy. The next evening I ordered the cheese/chicken quesadilla and didn’t love it either. It had cooked (roasted?) onions and peppers on it which I personally did not care for. The people were very nice and the self parking was free. They also provided a shuttle to the airport which is across the street.
