Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The rooms and hotel as a whole are incredible. The ceilings are to die for and the artwork was impeccable. The room was very spacious and quiet. Only cons: the towels were very low quality - itchy and thin. The shower door/slope of the floor made an absolute mess when showering for more than a few minutes. In room amenities were slightly lacking (no microwave, no refrigerator, no pen/paper, limited towel holders in the bathroom (had to use the coat rack in the main entry)). Other than that, it's a truly remarkable hotel. Staff was fantastic. Being slightly away from campus activities/other business made it so peaceful! Will ONLY be staying at this hotel everytime I come to Buffalo.

The hotel was beautiful the room was amazing and the staff was friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay again especially with the price so reasonable. I wish the area was a little better built up. A lot of businesses closed but the grounds of hotel and restaurant inside made up for it. Plus easy drive to amazing areas. Thanks for a special girls night
