Excellent staff! Very clean! Close to all the shops. Great breakfast! The fireplace outside is the best part. My only complaint is the pool could be a little warmer. Other than that this hotel is perfect for a short stay

Hotel is very clean and bed is comfy. Shower curtain and bathroom super clean. No bad odor, room smell fresh. Shopping area about 10mins drive. Lots of food store within a 5mins drive. Lots a parking. Abundance of healthy breakfast choices to choose from. Real fresh food daily. Coffee available in lobby 24hrs. Hallways just as clean as the rooms. Lobby clean and staff friendly. Pool is very clean and heated. I would stay again when visiting buffalo. Very quiet. Lots of towels and toiletries. Daily room service.

Parking was very easy. Checking in went smoothly. Staff was very kind and helpful. The breakfast dining area was extremely spacious and food options were very plentiful. I liked how there was hot water and tea and coffee available all day. The elevators were extremely modern. The hallways were very bright and well-lit. The room was very clean. Beds were comfortable. Bathroom had no tub just a large and spacious shower which I absolutely loved with great water pressure. The room had plenty of usb outlets for all my family’s charging needs. The fitness room was probably the nicest I have ever seen in this category of hotel- lots of machines and weights and plenty of space! Also, they had a filtered water station. I did not get to use the pool but I could see families with small children that were able to enjoy it. Overall, it seems like this hotel is either fairly new or went through a very successful renovation. The only thing that would make this hotel perfect would be if it had EV charging. I will most definitely return to this hotel if I am ever back in the area. I definitely would recommend it as well.

Front desk receptionist was rude and their “business center” was non existent. You must use their “tablets” which don’t work. Or you have the option to email your phi protected info to the generic email to which they’ll print it for you. Extremely inefficient. Very disappointing and when I asked the receptionist she was rude

Room was great until we were leaving for breakfast and saw a cockroach crawling on the door inside the room. We took photos and video of this and told the front desk. They acted shocked and said they didnt know what to do. they offered me a new room but we were already checking out. I dont think we will ever stay there again.

Check in went fairly smooth. However, upon inspection of the room, the fitted sheets were on the bed upside down. The pillowcases were inside out. The toilet seat was filthy. The tub was dirty and had toenail clippings inside of it. Multiple surfaces had hair on them. Also, when we went to see the pool, the door locks head malfunctioned, and you had to go to the front desk if you wanted someone to open it. When we need more towels, there was no one available to bring them so you had to go to the front desk to pick them up. They definitely could benefit from better cleaning of the rooms and more people working in the evening hours to assist guest.

we where there 8 days and I had to ask for towels and take out garbage. We asked for service four different times and the only thing they did was give us TP and Kleenex. Our room was never cleaned and our towels and garbage never taken. Same bedding the whole time. It was nasty. When I asked for a manager three times, there was never one available. And it is unfortunate because the property is beautiful.

- Thin walls. We could hear other guests and their kids in the halls speaking and carrying on until about midnight. - Toilet was refilling with water all night due to a broken/ ill-fitting valve in the tank. - Air conditioner would only go as low as 66 degrees F. Room was uncomfortably warm while sleeping. -Television was set up to not allow input of my PC or gaming system via HDMI - Staff was polite and check in was easy. - Complementary coffee was pretty good but a bit stale/ old tasting. - Room was clean and tidy

The room was very clean and comfortable. However, the walls seemed thin—I could hear conversations from the surrounding rooms. Overall, it was still a pleasant stay. The breakfast looked nice, though I didn’t have time to enjoy it. My trip was for work, not vacation, and I found it unreasonable to be required to sign up for a “free” service that demanded an excessive amount of personal information. The fine print stating that non-members could be charged a fee didn’t sit right with me. I assume the additional $25 charge for “incidentals” was related to that. The cell service was strong, so I just used my mobile hotspot—but I’ll need to double-check my bill. Overall, the hotel was nice and suited my needs well.

Dan who checked us in was fabulous, it's always nice to be greeted in a friendly manner after a long journey. I asked for a room on the top floor (don't want to hear the elephants upstairs) and away from high traffic areas (we were given one at the end of the hallway) No connecting door - yay! 5 Stars for getting all that right - Thanks! The hotel was lovely, nice and inviting. Coffee and hot water in the reception area, clean and replenished regularly. The room was great, nice and clean and well presented, only a couple of things that I could see, whoever hung the door should take a lesson on "door hanging" you could see right into the hallway at the bottom, we put two pillows at the bottom to stop any noise. There was a stain on the white bedding, looks like a previous guest may have had their dirty feet up on the bed! No bedside clock. Fridge, great and quiet, no freezer compartment (sad times for the freezer packs). Lots of hooks on the wall in the bathroom - very useful. Outside was well lit and felt like a safe area. The breakfast looked good. I'm a celiac vegetarian who doesn't like eggs - lol I bring my own cereal and bread and a toaster bag to toast it in the regular toaster, (works for me) I noticed they had Lucky Charms which were GF they also had Yoghurt and fruit. Also, scrambled egg, sausage and potatoes. Waffle maker, porridge station etc The OJ tasted pretty good from the machine, choice of coffees and tea.Great hotel, would stay there again.

This property is set well away from highways near athletic fields so it is quiet and peaceful. It has a very upbeat, youthful design and appears new and fresh. The breakfast was standard for better hotels but the dining room was much nicer. The only problem is that it is on a dead end street that parallels Millersport Highway. A detailed map or GPS is needed to find it especially in the dark. It is now my place to stay in Buffalo.

The hotel is in a great location. Getting out of the street to turn left onto Maple Rd. can be challenging because of the amount of traffic. Our room was neat and clean. The bed and pillows were comfortable. We didn't have enough shower gel at first. The front desk gave us a whole container of it but we couldn't replace it in the shower because it needed a specific key to unlock the holder. The next day the housekeeper was able to do it for us. We thought we got housekeeping services every other day but we received new towels daily which was nice. The breakfast was great the first day but only ok the following days. Food was running low due to a large student group there and the hotel staff was slow to replenish the buffet.

Not a fan of the sliding bathroom door. The bodily odors and sounds could be smelt and heard throughout the entire suite. When you're travelling with grown boys and a man then you can relate and understand how this concept is terrible. Additionally the hot continental breakfast isn't edible, it may appear that it's a hit because the dishes are emptying, however vast majority of it ends up in the garbage. Thankfully they had plenty of other continental breakfast options. Aside from the poorly designed door and the food, my stay was quite pleaseant. The housekeeping staff kept the room immaculate. The front desk staff, of all hours, were just delightful. They were all so friendly and pleasant during each and every encouter. I absolutely loved their print out of staffs picks for dinning options. Such a fabulous idea!

The property is reasonably comfortable, it is located in a quiet area. The front desk agent Francine allowed us early check in when we arrived early from the airport. The Houeskeeping could do some improvement, especially replacing bedsheets and overall cleaning. The supervisor Kenney did offer help when requested. The snack and drink section near the front desk needed to be restocked as items such as milk and potato chips and sundry items were not stocke up during our five day stay. The walls were chipped and was damaged in our room next to the bed. Maintenance work needed improvement. Coffee in the coffee station needed replenishment, Bananas were only available for one day during our breakfast instead the oranges and apples were rotten and not of good quality.
