Michael, who I believe is the manager, was unbelievably accommodating. We had issues booking through Priceline, and he was able to get us a room the same day and continued to accommodate us by giving us extensions on that room. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Overall, my stay was amazing, and I cannot give Michael enough credit for the great work he puts in to help his customers.

This isn't a review so much as a warning to anyone considering staying at the CenterWay Hotel…read more DON'T. I booked a room several weeks before attending a concert in downtown Buffalo. The plan was to check in after the show, around midnight. Due to the late check in time, I called the hotel a couple of days beforehand to make sure that there wouldn't be a problem. The person I spoke with assured me that it was fine. When I arrived at the hotel, a family was having a heated argument with the desk clerk. Apparently there was an issue cleaning their room - and mine as I was about to find out - so the manager (who wasn't there) had cancelled our bookings without notifying us! The clerk explained that they didn't have our contact info because we'd used third party reservation sites. This all sounded very suspicious. For starters, why was it that the people who checked in last had the issues? The answer was simple: hotels don't make much profit on bookings made through third party sites, so the hotel gave our rooms to people without reservations who were willing to pay more for the rooms. Making matters worse, the clerk would not offer any help whatsoever. We had to find another hotel in the middle of the night! When I got back home I checked my credit card and the cost of the room was not credited; the hotel took my money in addition to whatever the person(s) who got my room that night paid.

We stayed at Staybridge Suites for one night and had a great experience overall. We booked a…read moretwo-bedroom suite with a full kitchen, and it was perfect for our family of five. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out, and having the kitchen was a huge bonus. The complimentary breakfast was excellent, with a nice variety of options to start the day. Check-in was a little slow because the front desk staff seemed overwhelmed, but they were still friendly. The real standout was the staff the next morning at checkout. They went above and beyond by getting us ice for our softball games and providing bottles of water before we headed out. That extra level of kindness and customer service really made a lasting impression. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to families looking for a spacious, comfortable place to stay.

A note - if you have never stayed in a Microtel, these rooms are very small and will really only comfortably sleep 2 people who don't mind sleeping in the same bed, and POSSIBLY a small child (like under age 5). Otherwise, look elsewhere - you will be very uncomfortable. It's just the concept of the hotel line. Each room has a queen bed and a single window-seat type bed that will not really fit an adult. Everything was as it should be - clean room/bathroom, free WiFi, decent TV options. This property is quite close to the highway so there is some freeway noise but it didn't bother us. It is plopped between two residential areas and feels safe. There was free breakfast in the morning but we did not partake, as we were more interested in finding a Tim Horton's nearby :o) Front desk staff was friendly and accommodating. Met our needs just fine, and at $50 I'm not sure you could find much better.

The hotel is under reno so there's currently, uhm, let's just say "construction" smell (rating not based on this).

Front lady was friendly and accommodating. CVS vendo machine has diapers, creams, OTC medicines although no pantiliners (LOL). Complimentary coffee and water available 24/7. Rating just because you'd expect so much more for the hotel brand. Hopefully, more updates after the reno because the "welcome" space looks like it badly needed an upgrade.

The mattress I slept on was stiff, not good for more than a night or two. The smoke detector was missing from my room, just the capped wires hanging. The bathroom shower never fully turned off and the room coffee maker wasn't cleaned out (found cobwebs and the former pod in it). The room itself needed care, and has largely gone un-updated since the 90s. And the "included breakfast" is two cereal options, instant oatmeal, and prepackaged pastries. There was a $50 room security deposit which is paid via cash or card and is refunded after the room is inspected on your last visit. However it wasn't initially made clear to me that's what it was and I needed clarification from another desk clerk. I think for myself I would pay a bit more per night and stay somewhere else.

I had to sleep with open window since the air condition did not help at all. My bathroom sink was broke off the wall and heal up with a piece of 2x4.

The food was good.However, they did not replenish the food quickly at all and seemed a bit out of sorts. I had a romaine leaf in a champagne flute with some very good Caesar dressing for a salad. A Nice beef carving station. Pasta that I could not eat as it wasnt gluten free but they did have things marked very nicely.Gluten free which I really appreciate. There is no potato or vegetable offering. So I just had a lettuce leaf and 2 thin slices of beef (ebough for a slider sammie), a small scoop of goat cheese topped with some beets which was super yummy but no crackers or anything with it. Andd could not eat the dessert. The bartenders were super nice and took very good care of us. I would say go and try it and ask about where to park if u plan on a med sized event. And make sure there is enough food and ask about dietary restrictions.

The space is set up and decorated beautifully! So many different spots to take pictures or just hang out. And then the actual banquet area was very spacious and looked very elegant with the string lights, tablecloths and cloth napkins. Everyone who walked in couldn't believe how great the space was. The food was also fantastic! We just had a regular dinner buffet with baked chicken, roast beef and sides, but everything was very tasty! The star of the meal was the chef selection of mini desserts! Everyone raved about it and everything was absolutely delicious! I could have eaten those lemon bars all weekend. The thing that put everything over the top was the courtyard. Everyone did not see it as soon as they came in but once they did venture outside, no one wanted to come back in. Good thing the program part of the banquet was already over. We took wonderful pictures. The fire pit was lit, and everyone just wanted to stay for as long as possible. I only wish we could have stayed past 10. The only downside was the A/V. But i think if you are bringing your own speakers and things, it would be fine. All in all, I would absolutely, unquestionably refer this space to anyone looking to have an event. We had around 120 people, and we were in the larger room, but even the smaller room looked great when I peeked in.

Strolled down to the restaurant here at the hotel and ordered me a steak salad. About 15 minutes later out came the salad. Up to the room I went. Open the salad container and found an abundance of salad and a decent amount of steak. They didn't ask me how I wanted the steak, but it came medium to medium well. That's fine. You get a ton of salad and about eight strips of steak. Just what the doctor ordered! Everything about the salad was good. You get a choice of five different dressings. I went with the Italian dressing. It wasn't over the top tangy, I found it to be just right.

Thought nothing about it and was greeted with a full blown meal with some delicious wine. I believe it was all you can eat but honestly one plate was enough. The morning buffet breakfast was ample. The staff seem to be on point and quickly serviced. As everything was available i did not need to reach out to staff. Check in and out was so easy. So yes, i'd definetly return again.

Bathroom was a little tight, with sink/mirror in the bedroom and toilet and tub in a separate tiny room. Hard to get in and out of give the smug space. Furniture was a little dated, but having a microwave and full size fridge was great. Really nice breakfast, better than other hotels.

Found lot of pieces of long hair that I ended up removing myself using the wipes that were in the room and 2) the mini fridge was iceberg that's been growing lol. It was melting and the water was gathering around the base of the fridge. Overall, enjoyed the stay, comfortable bed, which is important.
