Hyatt Regency Buffalo / Hotel and Conference Center
The room was great, but the staff could not have been more helpful. My son and I got stranded in Buffalo due to weather and everyone at the Hyatt Regency Buffalo took wonderful care of us.

The Mansion On Delaware Ave
The mansion itself is beautiful. The staff is so nice. The breakfast was great. Our room was ok, but had an absolutely horrendous shower. It was one of the cheaper rooms, but for the price we paid I would think the bathroom would be little better. Overall a great place though.
