This updated guide recommends using recent, multiple guest reviews and objective indicators - photos, recurring complaints, and management responses - to evaluate hotels in Buffalo. It advises confirming key amenities (Wi-Fi, accessibility, pools) and location details with the hotel's official site or by phone. Familiar chains like Super 8, Best Western, and Comfort Inn are common options, but amenities vary by property. A brief checklist helps finalize the booking.

Use reviews - wisely

Customer reviews are one of the fastest ways to gauge whether a hotel will meet your needs. Look for patterns across many reviews: consistent praise for cleanliness, quiet rooms, or helpful staff is more meaningful than a single five-star or one-star post.

Read recent reviews first. Hotels change ownership, renovate, or adjust policies, so a 10-year-old review has limited value. Pay attention to the date, and weigh multiple recent experiences to form a balanced view.

Look for objective signals

Separate emotional reactions from concrete facts. A complaint that a room was "dirty" should be assessed alongside photos and other guests' comments. A reviewer upset about a canceled event may unfairly affect their hotel rating - cross-check such claims with other reviews.

Key objective signals to check:


  • Photos from multiple guests


  • Mention of recurring issues (noise, pests, billing)


  • Responses from hotel management


Confirm the amenities that matter to you

Hotels in the budget and midscale segments often advertise free Wi-Fi, free local calls, breakfast, and pools, but offerings vary by property. If a free or fast Wi-Fi connection, accessible rooms, or a business center matters to you, verify them through the hotel's official site or a recent guest review before booking.

If you travel with family, check for nearby attractions and kid-friendly facilities. If you're on business, confirm reliable internet and a quiet workspace.

Consider location and transport links

Choose a hotel close to the places you plan to visit - downtown, the airport, or the highway. Many hotels sit near major routes for convenience, but that convenience can mean more traffic and noise. Map the property, check transit or parking options, and read recent guest notes about traffic and noise.

(Note: interstate and local highway configurations can change; verify current maps for driving directions.)

Chains and budget options (what to expect)

Familiar chains such as Super 8 (by Wyndham), Best Western, and Choice Hotels' Comfort Inn represent common budget-to-midscale options in many U.S. towns. These brands often provide predictable basics - clean rooms, front-desk support, and standard amenities - but the exact features (pool, hot tub, free breakfast, pet policy) depend on the individual property. Always confirm amenities with the specific hotel listing or call the property directly. 1

Final checklist before you book

  • Read multiple recent reviews and look at guest photos.
  • Confirm must-have amenities on the hotel's official page.
  • Check the cancellation and pet policies.
  • Compare total price (taxes, resort fees, parking).
  • Call the hotel with any specific accessibility or group requests.
Following these steps preserves the original idea: reviews help, but verification matters. Use them to make a more informed, objective choice for your stay in Buffalo.
  1. Confirm current interstate configuration and whether Interstate 25 and Interstate 90 intersect near Buffalo (city/state) mentioned in original article.
  2. Verify specific Buffalo-area hotel properties (Super 8, Best Western Crossroads Inn, Comfort Inn) and their current advertised amenities.
  3. Check up-to-date brand names and ownership (for example, Super 8 is operated by Wyndham) and any recent rebrandings or closures for properties in Buffalo.

FAQs about Hotels In Buffalo

Are guest review scores reliable?
They are useful in aggregate. Look for consistent comments across many recent reviews and check guest photos and management replies for context.
Can I trust a hotel listing for amenities?
Listings are a good starting point but can be out of date. Confirm critical amenities (Wi-Fi speed, accessibility, pool hours) by calling the property or checking recent guest reviews.
Should I avoid hotels near highways?
Not always. Highway access can be convenient, but it may increase noise and traffic. Read recent guest notes about noise and look at maps before booking.
Do budget chains offer consistent service?
Chain brands provide predictable baseline standards, but features vary by property. Always verify the specific location's amenities and policies.
What is the simplest final check before booking?
Confirm the total price (taxes/fees), cancellation policy, and any accessibility or pet requirements directly with the hotel.
