Top hotels in Downtown Buffalo

Hyatt Regency Buffalo / Hotel and Conference Center
"I thought this hotel was going to be much better, but it was HORRIBLE. The mattresses were terrible—it was impossible to sleep—and you could hear so much noise from the hallways. The bathroom was dirty, and even though breakfast was supposed to be included, they charged us an extra $50 for two children. ..."

Lenox Hotel and Suites
"Clean, very old but quaint "residence" hotel- didn't see this noted on Expedia site- disturbing. VERY small rooms.. We had added charges they stated because Expedia site was wrong, was told we needed to take it up with expedia- again VERY disturbing. Overall we would say NO"

"The property was OK. The staff is friendly enough, but the place just seemed outdated They didn’t have a continental breakfast included and it was really overpriced for the breakfast. I enjoyed the stay."
