    We have stayed at this hotel many many times . It is clean , the rooms are nice , we really like the breakfast and it's close to the university . The front desk staff has always been so so. With the exception of a couple of people , the front desk staff never says good morning or Hello and are very unwelcoming . But this time around I needed to write a review because the service was really lacking . We stayed three nights . The sign in the bathroom clearly states that the rooms are cleaned every other day . At the end of the third day (we checked in SAT and now it was MON) we came home at night and found the room had been untouched . We called downstairs and all we got was that we had to ask for it to be cleaned . No apology no accommodation nothing . And if this was really the policy they should have stated it to us when we signed in . But again the sign in the bathroom stated that it was every other day . But nothing. so we asked for new towels to be brought up . An hour later we were still waiting so we had to call again and at that point it was done .Even if it was a mistake and it was overlooked ​ the way the staff apologizes and acknowledges the mistake can make a huge difference. We really did not receive proper service on this visit .

    Stayed here for a long weekend, room was nice breakfast was good, staff was great. Very standard hotel in the area and gets the job done well, very clean and many amenities, this hotel gets 5 big booms!!!

    If you're traveling with kids or a large noisy group this is your hotel . Multiple loud groups of kids running up and down hallways unsupervised ; playing hockey etc. My door was improperly hung so there was a space under the door through which you could see the hall and the deadbolt could not be locked. This is a hotel that is on par with a $60/night motel on the side of the road , not a $200 a night hotel. Very disappointing .

    Having done my homework and learned that this was a relatively new hotel with great reviews, I looked forward to my stay. I will start with the spoilers in telling you the best features of the hotel are its proximity to the softball fields and its fitness center. The breakfast offering also knocked it out of the park. We were here for a softball tournament and had played at this location before. However, there were no local hotels at that time so it was certainly nice that they put one in here. Our check in was incredibly quick . My husband took care of checking in while I barely had time to get a luggage cart and return to their car. I love it when it is that simple. One luggage trip and an elevator ride up to the room and we were settled in. The room was as advertised with coffee maker, refrigerator, microwave, and a nice size TV. The restroom facilities were actually gorgeous and the shower head was awesome with its variety of settings. The only downside for me was the fact that the beds and furniture took up so much room that I could not do yoga in the room. The good news is that when I went down to the fitness center to both take online yoga course and also record my yoga class, I was the only one there. Everything worked out. The beds were fine and my husband and I both slept pretty well. I did not spend a whole bunch of time in the room but the Wi-Fi worked well enough to allow me to keep in touch with work and also entertain myself on my laptop. The fitness center was incredible with ellipticals, treadmills, free weights and other hard core weight lifting equipment and apparatus. I spent a good amount of time here both working out and doing yoga. I rarely was alone so I was happy there were so many options as I never had to wait to use what I wanted to. The final area that I can review is the excellent breakfast offering. I am low maintenance in require only fresh fruit, yogurt, and coffee. Needless to say I was quite pleased and had a great breakfast every morning as I grabbed it on the go. Absolutely no complaints about this hotel and I would stay here again in a heart beat. I highly recommend it to anyone who is considering booking a room.

    We stayed here for one night, it totally fully booked. When we walk in, nobody at reception, wait it a while, the guy came out. Check in was easy, and he is friendly. This is obviously a new hotel, the window shade is modern, it uses two layer of shades, one white one grey, in the evening, i put down the grey shades, it almost blocked out all the lights, we didn't woke up until 8am the next morning! The shower glass door construction is really solid and heavy, it's a walk in shower, very nice. The designer is very considerate to put the water switch on the other side of wall where the shower head is located, so guest can turn water on without walk into the shower to wait for the water to turn warm. That works perfect for me. I had a wonderful stay here. Perfect!

    Arrived late at night and the host was wonderful. I was given a quiet room of which I appreciated. The rooms are clean and have a modern kinda of retro feel. I was happy with my bed, kinda firm but comfortable. Very happy to have microwave, fridge and sitting area with a view of the highway. I didn't notice much traffic or noise. I love the complimentary breakfast which was basic for take and go. Free parking and overall no problem s.. oh yeah temperature in rooms is controllable but doesn't seem to stay on very long .

    Happy hotel foyer greeting!!!

    After research on surrounding hotels Hampton Inn met our family of 4 desires and the need for a clean, pet free, non-smoking environment. The hotel, which is located across from the University of Buffalo, is beautiful, clean, quiet, has friendly staff, provides breakfast, and has snacks and souvenirs for purchase. The hotel is about 20 mins from the US side of Niagara Falls which was very easy to find via GPS. Our room faced a sports complex and we were able to catch a few softball games! We were pleased with our stay.

    Fantastic hotel! Great staff! Erin and Kathy, are pleasant and helpful. Breakfast, by Erin, was hot, fresh and plentiful. My room, super clean, was supervised by Kathy, the housekeeping manager. Pool looks clean and inviting, too, and there's a nice fitness room. I would totally stay here again!! P. S. Great bus parking, as well.

The staff was good i didn't have that many requests to begin with anyways. We just needed a clean and quiet room away from any noise and well anyone with a family do not book us near them. We were on a very quiet floor. The beds were comfy. Rooms spacious. Went on a weekday and was told there was a complimentary Managers Reception. 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.

Reception staff very nice and helpful, at 10 pm check in. Two room suite w kitchen and living room, and bedroom with two queen beds. Really comfortable and heating system was great. Usually hotel rooms have some window unit blowing air hot and cold on you all night and the wall thermostat doesn't work, just the dials on the window unit. At Homewood Suites the temp was perfect. 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. Son even played basketball in a court next to the breakfast room surrounded by a net wall. Definitely better than places nearby. Suggest you stay here.

They need to make sure guests understand no smoking! The second room we had didn't smell like pot smoke. Breakfast selection was good. Lots of choices bread, pastries, muffins bagels, hard boiled eggs, warm eggs and sausage, cereal and oatmeal, waffles plain and strawberry. Milk, yogurt,cream cheese, jelly. Really clean and good location to University of Buffalo and Niagara Falls area. Shopping restaurants all very close and convenient. I wish I could give it a higher rating like 2.5 or 3. The staff are super friendly, professional and great customer service. Public areas are really nice.

    I had a very bad experience at a Courtyard by Marriott location in Atlanta a few years ago that,…read morefairly or unfairly, tarnished the brand for me. I won't go into details here, but the manager awarded me 10,000 points as compensation. As I haven't had the inclination to stay a Courtyard since that experience, those points expired unused some time ago. On a recent trip to the Buffalo area, my search yielded a Courtyard location that was priced reasonably. I had driven past that hotel numerous times and observed that it looked relatively new and well maintained, and it was convenient. In the spirit of second chances, and on the assumption that my previous experience was unique to a single location, I made my six day reservation online. Check-in was quick and efficient, the staff was very friendly, and the room appeared to be impeccably clean. Good lighting throughout, a very capable showerhead with plenty of pressure, and water that was hotter than I've ever even dared to dream about! Yes, Atlanta was an aberration. Courtyard by Marriott is back on my list! Until day four. After three days of no maid service (despite having explicitly asked for it that morning), we turned down the second bed, only to find two dirty socks under the covers! It nearly triggered my gag reflex. So many questions rippled through my head. What else wasn't cleaned after the previous guest checked out of that room? How long have those socks been there? What sorts of bodily fluids have I been marinating in over the past three nights? What about the pillows? Were the towels just air dried and refolded? Is this a disgruntled employee or is it business as usual? We immediately packed our bags and loaded up the car. I stopped at the front desk to check out and told the clerk about the socks. She seemed genuinely apologetic, but I think she realized that offering to change rooms or to clean the room we were in was pointless. She refunded the unused nights and said she would talk to the manager when he arrived to see if they could award me some points that will definitely go unused. I'd strongly advise against this Courtyard location. I don't believe the brand is salvageable, at least in my mind. Frankly, I'm wondering if the entire Marriott brand is safe. Did I mention that there were ants in the bathroom?
