    The warm breakfast served from 7-10am Corned beef hash, scrambled eggs, and a French toast stick
    Amanda N.

    Staff is friendly and welcoming. Front desk does a stellar job. The morning breakfast is absolutely delicious. The rooms are clean. The beds are comfy. The layout of the room is genius. The toilet and shower are separate from the sink and vanity. The shower is large and walk in. They provide hair care, soap, and lotion. It's a wonderful place for a staycation if you live in the area and are looking for a retreat. The location is convenient if you're traveling. There's a Cracker Barrel, Starbucks, Tim Hortons, DQ, and a Pita Gourmet within walking distance. Not to mention an IMAX theater right next door.

    Spent a great evening at dinner at Russell's, then overnight at the hotel. Rooms are immaculate and have all the amenities you need. Hotel is clean and rooms include a wonderful hot breakfast along with cereal, fruit, yogurt, etc. Nice getaway for myself and boyfriend.

    I've been here several times and have always enjoyed my stay. Staff is friendly, rooms are clean, and there are nice amenities. It has a great location that isn't too far from food, shopping, or the airport. I don't have much to add that hasn't been discussed before. It's a great place to stay :)

    This was a nice stay. The hotel has an old school luxury feel to it with some of the more modern amenities. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was spacious. We found our stay to be cozy and comfortable.

    NOT HAPPY AT ALL two roaches came out when filling the jacuzzi, and one big roach came out when trying to get coffee. Not wanting to bring roaches home i gave it to the attention of the front desk. I told them that i trapped the two lil ones in napkins and one big one was trapped under a glass cup in the room for them to see. They did offer a diff. room but was not equal or adequate for that i had a guest with me. They also offered a room in a diff. hotel but after that experience i did not want nothing to do with another hotel. Was given a full refund and a certificate for the same room package, which i will not be using. Drove all the way back home 1hour and 15min away. After writing this review on Expedia i got a phone call from Salvatore's Grand Hotel, was told that it was a common house beetle, and that my certificate was voided. Going to post picture of this roach we caught, this is not a beetle!!!! and for your certificate/bribe i could care less this is wrong.

Room was quiet and clean. Housekeeping policy/schedule was a bit haphazard. No service the first day, which was fine, but we needed service the second day and asked for it in the morning at the front desk. We came back in the late afternoon and nothing had been done. (And no, we hadn't left the "do not disturb" sign on our door). We left for dinner and asked for service again, but were told that it may not be possible that late in the day. When we got back in the evening, we discovered that it had occurred, so that was great. However, the next day, we found that towels had been replenished but bed wasn't made. It wasn't a big deal, just kind of odd. The next day bed was made and towels replenished. Not a deal breaker, just unpredictable. Front desk staff wasn't the friendliest, but overall were efficient. Sundry shop could have used a wider range of selections as there is no bar or restaurant at the hotel. Would have been nice to have had some canned cocktails or wines and a couple more types of beer, perhaps a variety of cookies. Indoor pool and hot tub were very nice features of our stay. We enjoyed them daily. Clean. Hotel is walking distance from a couple of coffeehouses, a sports bar, and a some "local gem" restaurants, which was very nice. Not too far from Niagara Falls and other local points of interest, easily accessible by Lyft.

The Inn is right in the heart of the village, with nice restaurants north and south on Elmwood. Intermixed are interesting shops and boutiques, cafes, and even a cool grocery store. A mile south is Allen Street and all its wares; a mile north is Buffalo State and the art museum. Hop on a one of those rent-by-the-hour bikes, and Canalside and downtown is a quick pedal away. Even more, there is easy access to the freeway that gets you to Niagara Falls quickly (I suggest Whirlpool State Park for an alternative trip; the hike to the bottom of the gorge is gorgeous). The Inn itself is clean, interestingly decorated and comfortable. The room we stayed in was large ... and my wife took advantage of the large bathtub to soak away a late evening while enjoying a glass of wine. There are snacks, toiletries, water and other small touches that made the stay very enjoyable. What isn't mentioned on the Inn's website prominently is the breakfast: they are delicious. The owner has worked in the restaurant industry as a chef, and it shows. There is a wide selection of healthy options (such as fruit, granola, yogurt) along with hearty meals, pastries, cheese, sausage, etc. And, perhaps most importantly, the coffee was great. One last thing: take advantage of the porch. There is an outdoor sitting area off the communal living room that provides a great place for enjoying coffee and a newspaper in the morning, and a delicious nightcap (perhaps with some Buffalo-style pizza) in the late evening. The people watching from the porch is also great (Elmwood Avenue is pedestrian-heavy throughout the day and evening). Anyway ... if you enjoy culture, food, people-watching, access and beautiful neighborhoods, you'll love this place.

Prior to my stay, I called the hotel twice on separate days requesting an early check-in. Having traveled quite a bit, I've learned it's always best to communicate these things in advance. During both calls, I was assured notes would be added to my reservation and that the staff would do their best to accommodate the request. However, during my second call, I was informed there were no notes on file at all. I asked if one could simply be added since I still had over 24 hours before arrival, and I was told someone would call me back within 2-3 hours to confirm. I never received that call. When we arrived on the day of check-in, unsurprisingly, the room was not ready. To their credit, they did offer complimentary breakfast and stored our luggage while we explored the area, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the issues only continued from there. Once entering the room, we noticed visible stains on the bedding, as shown in the photos provided. While I initially tried to let it go and enjoy the trip, it became increasingly difficult to overlook the overall condition of the room. The bench seating near the desk was not only visibly stained, but also loose and unstable to the point where sitting on it felt questionable. I ended up wiping it down myself with disinfectant wipes. The room service phone also did not function properly -- calls could be made, but we could not hear anyone on the other end. After reporting this, no one came up for quite some time, and we had to repeatedly go downstairs to request basic items and toiletries before assistance finally arrived roughly 30-40 minutes later. The hotel itself is in an excellent location, which is honestly one of its strongest qualities. However, the hospitality throughout the stay fell far below expectations. The restaurant service in particular was consistently disappointing. I approached every interaction politely and warmly, yet the staff largely came across as disengaged, cold, and robotic. Very little attentiveness was shown during meals, and the energy from several servers made it quite apparent they did not want to be there. Ironically, the most friendliness we received came when the check was presented. As for the food, it was average at best. Not terrible, but certainly not memorable. Breakfast was underwhelming, and small details were repeatedly overlooked. At one point, we informed the staff that the coffee served was cold, and the response we received was essentially that it had been sitting out and they could simply pour hotter coffee into it to warm it up. That interaction honestly summarized the level of service we experienced throughout the stay: reactive rather than attentive, and lacking the professionalism expected at this price point. Overall, I left disappointed because the hotel has genuine potential. The location is fantastic, and with the right level of care, attentiveness, and hospitality training, the experience could be significantly elevated. Unfortunately, when you are paying premium prices, you expect the quality of service and comfort that is advertised -- and this stay simply did not deliver that. Oh I almost forgot, we got an unexpected visit from a stink bug and the staff merely said "I am so sorry for that"

    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 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.

We were annoyed that the rooms had motion sensing thermostats. Even with the mild weather that we were visiting during, the lack of air circulation while gone always made the room uncomfortable to return to, because it was stuffy. Thankfully, it would be cleared up within 20-30 minutes, but being outside all day and wanting to comfortably relax when you return, it kind of puts a damper on that... and I don't really know what kind of savings it presents. It's easy enough for an AC system to maintain 70 degrees when it barely gets above that outside. Anyhow, thanks to the climate, a minor annoyance. Would stay here again!
