The host met us at the door and immediately gave us loads of information for how to enjoy the Falls so we could get right to the park that afternoon. The room was spacious and clean, and the bed was super comfortable. The bathroom was bright and clean with a really nice shower. Breakfast was available in the morning, but we skipped that and opted for the coffee ~ which was wonderful BTW. The host was super friendly and accommodating.

I…read morecalled there Saturday evening and asked if we might stop by to take a couple of pictures and look around. I explained that we had been married there over 20 years before, and were excited to see it. The woman briskly told me that I could take pictures outside, and that was it. I asked if we could possibly just see the living room since that is where our ceremony took place, and she abruptly told us no. She advised us that there were new owners and that this was not a possibility. It was quite disappointing to know that the wonderful service we have received in the past would not be what would happen going forward. So extremely sad since the old owners were absolutely wonderful.

Don't be fooled by the pictures of this B&B. The rooms we were assigned to were not anything like…read morethe online pictures show. As we entered the side entrance by the code given to us in an email as we stepped in the house we were immediately face to face to an older gentleman that popped out of the basement. Wow that was pretty scary. We immediately could smell an odor in this house. The first problem we discovered is there are 2 rooms on the ground level and 3 rooms upstairs. The gentlemen asked us our names and said your rooms are upstairs number 3 & 4. We went up a few stairs from the entrance and he pointed to the stairs to get up to our rooms. The stairs were not something a senior person would want to navigate several times a day. The carpet on the stairs oh my didn't look too clean. As you went up the stairs it got hotter and hotter. The property manager said he would ask the owner to lower the thermostat I am pretty sure that was not going to help the upstairs so it would be comfortable. They are very outdated, dark and dingy, windows so dirty you can't see through them. Ceiling fan was noisy and wobbling, it could have fallen at any minute, safe hazard. There had been plumbing work done between the tub and toilet then a piece of random board was nailed on the wall but the nails were not pounded in and the heads of the nails were sticking out they were very sharp, safe hazard. One of the rooms had no closet what so ever no place to hang a hanger anywhere. It had an old small chest of drawers that a small tv sat on top of. The tub in one of the rooms was so outdated looked like it had been there for 40 years and it looked dirty and dingy, I would not shower in that. The living room furniture old and dirty looking I would not sit on it definitely needs to be replaced. Also this is not a true B&B no meals are served you cook your own and clean up behind yourself and you can't use the kitchen before 7:00 am. We were on a once in a life time vacation to Niagara Falls thinking it would be great to stay in an B&B so we could have a space to visit in the evening after our daily adventures and have breakfast in the mornings before our daily adventures. This B&B was so smelly and dingy that our vacation would have been ruined by staying there. So glad we opted to not stay we went to hotel in Canada and had a great stay.

We stayed here for one night while we visited Niagara Falls and our room was very homey. The owner…read moreand housekeeper were both very friendly and welcoming. The house is cute and super clean. We were only here for a night but would definitely come again or recommend it to others that are staying in the area. My only "complaint" was that we stayed here in July and the windows in our room opened but there was glass over the screens so we couldn't get any air. We did have a ceiling fan in the room but it did get warm. Other than that everything was great and Niagara Falls was amazing!!

If you're looking for that authentic Buffalo charm without feeling like you've accidentally…read moretrespassed into your grandmother's historically preserved living room, this is the spot. From the second you walk in, the house radiates that classic, cozy "Old Buffalo" energy that makes you want to cancel your plans and just exist in a state of perpetual relaxation. To the left of the entrance is the dining room. It's less of a room and more of a 24/7 hospitality hug. There is a relentless flow of snacks: chips, pretzels, fruit, and candy. The drink selection is equally aggressive in the best way possible (Nespresso, BOTH Pepsi and Coke products, beers, and teas). I spent an embarrassing amount of time just surveying my options. ​The Room (The Grover Cleveland): The room is a great mix of "I'm in a historical landmark" and "Thank God there's a heated bathroom floor." It's well-preserved but doesn't lack the modern essentials. ​The Pros: Mini-fridge, wall-mounted TV with streaming, and a shower with a hand wand (excellent water pressure, too). They even left two pitchers of water for me, one chilled, one room temp. That is the kind of over-preparedness I appreciate. The large windows allow tons of natural light to enter. Wall mounted Aveda shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the roomy shower. And yes, the bathroom has a wall-console controlled heated floor!! There are two luggage racks, writing desk and two comfy lounge chairs along with the king sized bed. One side has a nightstand with alarm clock abd the other side has a marble shelf on top of an old-style steam heater. There are plenty of plugs around the room and the door has bolt lock with old-style key. ​The Con: My only tiny gripe? The pillows. They were a bit on the "pancake" side of the spectrum, very thin and definitely not fluffy. If you like a firm loft, you might find them lacking. ​The Amenities The fireside library and parlor are perfect for pretending you're reliving the 18th-century lifestyle, and the covered front porch is elite-tier for people-watching. Parking is easy: you can pay for the off-street spot or just roll the dice with the free street parking (which was totally fine). ​The Food & The "Staff" The breakfast spread is legit. We're talking yogurt varieties, hard-boiled eggs, fresh fruit, homemade granola, and homemadr scones that I am still thinking about days later. Seriously, the scones alone are worth the booking. Also, special shout-out to the resident dog who clearly thinks he's the General Manager. He's the friendliest employee on the payroll. ​The location is walkable to a bunch of local shops and restaurants, so you're right in the heart of things. If you want a comfy stay that is affordable and feels historical but isn't "stuffy," this is your place!

The inn is located in ElmWood- the area is very walkable. Close by to many local shops and restaurants. The inn communal area is very pretty and is filled with histories. We were in awe how well maintained the inn was. The staffs were all very friendly. I really enjoyed talking to Polly. She was very accommodating. The stay comes with light breakfast included. The room is huge and is nicely furnished. Some improvement suggestions I would have is having more outlets or extension cords. The room actually faced the street and it was shockingly not too noisy, though I thought the inn was thoughtful when I saw they did provide a white noise machine. I highly recommend checking out this place if you're in Buffalo NY. Definitely worth the money.

It is recently under new management, and the bar and restaurant have reopened. I would recommend eating elsewhere since there are so many good options along Elmwood Avenue. The rooms do not have refrigerators or microwaves, but did not miss them - the interiors are unique and quite refined. The website asks that you book directly with them, and promises a surprise benefit if you do, but none was offered at check-in. I was there for three nights, and room service was not provided on the last night. One advantage of staying here is direct access to the Lipsey Architecture Center on the ground floor. It is well worth a visit for a great overview of local architecture history and urban development. The AzkG and Burchfield museums are also very close by, as well as Delaware Park.

It definitely feels like a hidden gem but more people need to know about it! After searching the area for a possible hotel to stay at (and being disappointed with the results), I chanced upon The Butler House and decided to book the Regatta room for a short stay on their website. Before I arrived, the hosts Jaime and Dan reached out to verify any dietary restrictions and anything they could do to make the stay more comfortable. On the day of my first night, they also checked in on my ETA and gave me instructions for late check in which was very helpful. It's located in a very peaceful and quiet neighborhood. This place was made to feel like a home away from home. It felt like I was visiting a friend's house. The decor was super cozy and well maintained. Everything on the first floor was so pretty to look at, from the foyer, front porch, first floor bathroom, dining room, and front porch. In the foyer, there were snacks, fruits, coffee pods and tea bags. There was also a piano to test your musical skills if you knowhow to play. I enjoyed my time swinging on the front porch's giant swing and feeling the evening breeze as I took in how peaceful the neighborhood was. The rooms were all located on the 2nd floor of the house and come with pin pad locks which was convenient. The Regatta room was huge and also came with a sun room that had two plush couches and white curtains. It felt like the perfect place to curl up with a nice book while sipping on some hot tea. There was also a heating lamp in case it gets cold. The sun room was also the only place with USB chargers which I wish the other outlets inside the bedroom had too. Everything about the room was super clean and well kept! The bathroom was neatly decorated and there was plenty of space inside to layout my skincare bottles. There were also small hand towels, hand soap, body wash, shampoo and conditioner. I really appreciated that they used regular brands like Olay and Pantene (I could tell by the smell because I use them at home too!). In the bathroom there were 4 switches (2 for lights, 1 for bathroom exhaust and the last one turned out to be for hot water which I had to figure out as I'm not used to turning on the heater like that or at all). The pressure of the water was fantastic though it was a bit small inside the shower space. They also had a lovely large bath towel and the bath robe was the cherry on top (I might get one myself). The bed was big enough for me and it was such a nice feeling to sink into a plush and soft bed after a nice hot shower. The TV had access to Disney+ shows which was nice. There was also an AC unit on the wall. I liked that all the room's light switches were right by the bed so that I could make the room as cozy as I wanted it to be. Breakfast was served at 8:30am sharp in the dining room. Tea, apple cider, orange juice and coffee were offered. The first course was Taiwanese scallion pancakes with egg and sausage on the side. It felt like a taste of home for me and an unexpected surprise in Niagara Falls. I would've liked ketchup but there was only sriracha and soy sauce. It was such a large portion I barely had space for the second course. The second course was a giant plate of blueberry crumble with whipped cream. It was quite sweet and most of the table was too full to clear their plates too. They really meant it when they mentioned that guests often don't need to eat lunch after having breakfast here! It definitely fueled me up while I was wandering Goat Island! Butler House has set the bar high in terms of any future bed and breakfast locations I might stay at!

We did appreciate having until 11 to check out and we sat on the covered porch after breakfast and just relaxed a bit after breakfast before we headed out for the day.

The bottom layer held delicate, crust-less, savory finger sandwiches, 4 for each of us, all very tasty. On the second level were delicious scones and there were three spreads offered to enhance their flavor - lemony butter, what may have been clotted cream (not sure), and a fruity jam. On the top tier there were sweet cookies and cakes. The room was decorated with old fashioned country curtains, decorative wall paper, and fancy table cloths - a perfect back drop for this experience. The servers were attentive, prompt and friendly. It was what I expected and it didn't disappoint!

Unfortunately we were a bit disappointed in our overall experience. Each guest is given a sheet of paper where you can select 3 teas. The server didn't explain this was per person so we were confused thinking it was 3 per table. The biggest disappointment for us is that we were given tea bags, which in my opinion is not appropriate for an experience of afternoon tea and really cheapened the experience. As an avid tea drinker, I personally was expecting at least loose tea. We were given one hot tea pot for the table and had to constantly ask for refills until towards the end when the server gave us a second pot. It was a bit dangerous for us trying to pass one kettle around the table of four people as well. They also don't give you any iced water to drink on the side which was disappointing. In addition, no one came to clean out or change out your tea cup when you were moving on to drink the next tea. So I ended having a taste of earl grey in the chamomile tea. For the 3rd tea, I ended up dumping some of it out on my plate and wiping with my napkin. Eek! We did however, enjoy the food. They present you with a 3 tiered tray with a variety of finger sandwiches, scones, and pastries and jam/butter. We all thought the finger sandwiches, scones and desserts were delicious. The sandwich were tasty, but a bit tiny and definitely needed more filling. Overall, I may come back for the food but I was disappointed in the use of tea bags and the inattentive service.

Recently stayed here for Canada Day in a traditional room with 2 queen beds…read more Primarily wanted to stay closer to Fort George National Historic Site due to the festivities. During Canada Day, Fort George has a BBQ (hamburgers and hotdogs), live music, canon performance and fireworks. This location is ideal if you want some freedom to rest / go elsewhere throughout the day. Only a 6 min walk or so from Fort George. Room: A bit dated but if you are just staying one night it's fine. I wasn't in the room much. However, traditional rooms face parking lot so I recommend asking for 3rd floor. It is a bit dark but more privacy on a higher floor. Also I think room could have been cleaner, there was a lot of dust collected by the windows. Service: Staff at hotel are quite nice and during Canada Day, they served sangria in the lobby and had some cute Canada Day sparklers, stickers, a small candy bar, etc. They also text you asking if you need anything and rate your experience with them. Amenities: On the Basement level, open 7:00am-10:30pm there is an indoor pool, jacuzzi, steam room, and gym available. By the elevators they also provided a tea/coffee bar. I went right at 7am and no one was there, nice and quiet so you have it to yourself. Another service they have is a shuttle. You can request it to take you to fort york, into the town, and other areas but it's close to a lot of places so we never ended up using this service. Overall, not a bad stay and I wouldn't mind coming back if this location was near some activities I wanted to check out like Canada Day. If just coming for a regular stay/ anniversary/ celebration - I would lean towards like deluxe rooms and above. For instance, deluxe rooms face the marina with lots of sun but only has king beds.
