Top Waterfront Hotel Reviews

Quality Hotel & Suites At The Falls

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and the location of the hotel is great if you want to see the falls...Some of the staff is extremely helpful, like the woman that prepares the breakfast...others are not so helpful and spend more time on their phone than clients, this is the front desk"

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Buffalo Airport

8/10 Good

"The hotel is very close to the Buffalo airport. They offer free parking on the grounds of the hotel, up to a maximum of 10 days, providing you stay at least one night. They also have a shuttle to and from the airport. Our room had a king size bed, which was wonderfully comfortable. The room was clean, and had everything we needed, including numerous outlets for plug-in devices of one sort or another. It's a two-story hotel, with an elevator, which was essential, as one of us has mobility issues. Our room on the second floor was comfortable and quiet, cleanliness standards were excellent. Breakfast is included, and is available from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. the one thing that kept me from giving an excellent reading was the breakfast. It's not that it was bad, again it had all of the basics which are now common to most hotels that offer Continental breakfast. Cereal, bagels, toast, coffee, yogurt, juice and a waffle machine. They also had scrambled eggs, but they meet was some type of nondescript sausage patty, not especially flavorful. If I were to make suggestions, I would recommend something like tater tots, along with some fresh fruit. Despite the minor complaint about the sausage patty, the rest of our stay was more than adequate, and we would definitely stay there again. The hotel seems to be well run, and I would certainly recommend it, particularly for short-term stays, perhaps at the beginning or the end of your travel plans."
