Seating is a little strange they have couch seats with some chairs and a children's area but it limits seating when a bus group would stop. But they do have extra seating in the Starbucks area.

Nice place with shake shack, panda express, chik filet, Starbucks and soon to be aunt Anne's and Cinnabon.

There's always calming music playing, temp is always comfortable, and it's NEVER crowded in the evenings. The bathrooms are super clean -- (yes, it seems like a GIGANTIC WASTE of taxpayer dollars.... but I'll definitely use it and appreciate it if it's here anyways!) I really think they should rent out the interior space - every time I'm in there I think "this would make an awesome place to have a cocktail party at" --- reminds me of a less-fancy Rich's Atrium. they do have a very small conference room available to rent out -- it only holds like a single long conference table, though. There is a small fenced in area for dogs to run around, stretch their legs, and do their business in. There's also a pirate ship climbing structure outside as well.

I probably spent 30 minutes looking through the brochures here. They also have a bulletin board with events in the area but unfortunately it doesn't look like it gets updated . The majority of the flyers were from July and it is now October . It would have been nice to see current events and things happening in the area . They have vending machines and they even have a microwave for people to use, which is unique and very thoughtful. There is a button you can push inside if you need the police, so that helps with a feeling of safety and I did see a red and white sheriff's vehicle parked there with two deputies inside on my visit. There are lots of tables outside with chairs and a grassy area where you can take your pets. Plus the view of the water is very beautiful, especially right now with all the fall foliage.

Go too on the upper level's viewing deck area, and you'll get beautiful shots of the falls at night and during the day as well. Bathrooms were super clean too, I was impressed with that.

Our second stay at this Wingate location this weekend was a huge success. Let's talk COVID first:…read morethey are doing a great job with regulations, cleaning, and adhering to policies set forth by NYS. Hand sani at every turn and I didn't see a single unmasked person throughout my stay. I should also note that the hotel was only at a third capacity, so we really didn't see much of anyone other than the staff throughout our one night stay. We felt safe and at home throughout, and this hotel put cleanline at top priority even before the pandemic. Onto more fun stuff! The staff here is top notch. So friendly and helpful and a pleasure to interact with. We brought our dog, Freddy Sue, this time around, and I would absolutely recommend this hotel to fellow dog owners looking to take their pup to a dog friendly town. It is a $70 charge which is steep, but was worth it to us in terms of peace of mind, especially with the off peak rate of this hotel on a Saturday to Sunday being $140. The beds are SO comfortable and I had such an awesome night's rest. Of course, the location cannot be beat. In the non-COVID times, we bopped from restaurant to restaurant drinking our way through the town and it was amazing to be able to come right back to the center of town as home base. For the price and guaranteed positive experience, I doubt we will ever stay anywhere else when we come to visit Ellicottville. Happy exploring!

The room was laid out wrong with a tv above a fake fireplace and a couch about 6 feet away meaning you had to look up to watch tv. As for the breakfast, it is cool food like vending machine muffins and bulk cereal. No hot food or waffle maker. Even the orange juice was little per-filled sealed cups like it came from a hospital cafeteria. They are remodeling the lobby but they should be doing something with the dated rooms. No charging stations and the couch was old and ratty. We will not be back to this place. UPDATE: I complained on my survey and was contacted by a customer service representative and they gave the company response "sorry for your bad experience we will try hard" which I replied, typical response, I don't believe you even read my additional comments. I said that there was a time when customers were compensated for bad experiences but now it is , we got your money, sorry. About a hour later a got a reply that half my money was being refunded. So at least they are trying so I changed my rating to 2 stars for the effort.
