This property is an absolute sh*thole now! Pre-covid is was our family's favourite Buffalo hotel. Clean rooms, great amenities and friendly helpful staff. We had stayed there at least 4x. Now I would prefer a prison cell over a room. We asked for a extra pillow at the desk. They claimed they don't have any. Our room was beside a unit that was condemned (one of multiple on the property). There was no office chair at the desk. No second single chair in the room. No washcloths, a broken microwave and we had to go back to the desk to get a roll of toilet paper. Which we were met with indignation about as well! There is no PLUS at this location. The owners should be forced to stay in it for a week (assuming the don't catch a biohazard) exposure. A complete unprofessional joke!

The most disgusting place we’ve ever stayed. Beds clearly not changed from last guest. Dirty, room smelled like cigarette smoke, garbage around the facility and people partying and making a lot of noise until after 1:00am. We felt very unsafe. Swipe cards to rooms weren’t working so the one staff had to run around and let everyone into their rooms. The only positive thing about this place is the staff was friendly. Was way over priced and the pictures online look nothing like to actual facility. Do not stay here! Would rather sleep in my car.

The place is full of vargants and I had 2 doordash orders stolen before I gave up. The room itself was fine and the fridge was decent. The microwave was interesting as it has an unlock button you have to press before the door will open. I was using it in the middle of the night and it was dark so I didn't see it until I turned on the light. Just something to be aware of. Otherwise it was OK.

We stayed one night for graduation ceremonies. The furniture and bathroom sink were new but the condition of the room was sad. The paint job in the room and bathroom was messy. The light switches had layers of paint and were dirty. There were too many furniture items in the room and made it difficult to get around the bed. The bed was terrible, very uncomfortable, hard. The pillows were small and only 1 pillow had a white pillow case, the other 2 had shams. The exterior of the building really made me question if this was a safe building. The were pieces of metal and building materials scattered on the walk way and parking lot. This building could really use a face-lift. The room smelled "clean" like bleach. The towels were thin and small. We only stayed 1 night, but I wish I had booked a different hotel.
