Great stay! Perfect Location, Value & Clean!

Great location, nice / helpful staff, and clean all around with updated bathroom. Very peaceful stay, nice staff & people staying were quiet & respectful. Great value and will definitely stay again. 1 min drive away from Univ of Buffalo north campus which we were touring and close to highway etc. Short drive to stores / restaurants but that was fine. Breakfast was fine / quick type but worked well for us to grab / self serve type which we preferred over waiting for slow wait staff during rush. Breakfast included staples like oatmeal, cereal, yogurt, hard boiled eggs/ scrambled, waffles, sausage, toast/ English muffin, coffee/ tea, juice, etc.

No wifi, no pool, no fridge

I got stranded due to a snow storm so chose to stay at this hotel because of the pool/hot tub, the availability of a fridge to store the food I had with me, and for a desk for working. As I checked in they said the pool/hot tub were out of use - though I could use the one at the hotel across the street (in a snowstorm?) I couldn't connect to the wifi and was given a helpline number to call myself - spent 45 minutes getting connected. Then when checking out the next day opened up the fridge to remove my food to discover that it wasn't actually running - and my food was spoiled. The front desk said they couldn't give me any kind of refund because I had booked through a third party site - but offered me membership points (though I'm not a member and this experience wasn't exactly an advertisement for signing up). Disappointing on many levels

We were in town for a Buffalo Bills game. It was very snowy and the parking lot was well plowed. My only issue was the TV didn't have the channels correspond to the guide. I was unable to locate local news r Spectrum YNN. Kind of a quirky problem with the service. Otherwise, my stay was very enjoyable.

Reasonable hotel but the pool/hot tub were not operating. Would have been good to know that! One of the reasons for selecting this hotel. Should notify people upon registration.
