This inn was beautiful! So many beautiful rooms and the basement billiard room was amazing. The owner was so kind and greeted us warmly. It was close to Buffalo State where we dropped our daughter off and was close to shopping and dining options.

Magic land
Pros:

It was a new experience for me- staying somewhere that seemed to be totally self- running. No staff greeted you, you didn't see people doing thing, but like little fairies rooms would be cleaned, food popped up and was switched according to time of day. It made it feel like you were in your own home and with ample space to hang around outside of your room, it became like that.

Pros:

I didn't know much about Buffalo or its charming neighborhoods, but I am so glad I stayed at InnBuffalo. Proprietor Joe and hostess Molly were so welcoming and spent time with the guests during the morning breakfast service. I booked the smallest room in the Inn, but it was perfect for a single or a couple. The bed quality and linens were superb, and I slept quite well both nights. Around the corner is the Lexington Co-op for outstanding fruits of the season and snacks, which could be store in the in-room refrigerator. The Inn provided filtered water and plenty of Keurig capsules for morning coffee. Breakfast scones were delish, the coffee strong, and juices fresh. Best of all, the front porch is huge and welcoming. Both evenings I sat outside and made new friends while we sipped wine and shared stories. Walking the Elmwood neighborhood is a treat: Talking Leaves Bookstore next to a coffee shop, across from the Bidwell median where a Farmer's market occurs every Saturday morning. In the other direction, find Iron Tail Tavern, an elegant bar and restaurant service delicious tapas-style small plates and entrees. I had the stuffed peppers appetizer, and it was enough for my dinner meal. Would love to come back and stay during the holidays.

Great location-Great vibe-Great city!
Pros:

Two nights in a lovely and comfortable third floor room of a beautifully restored Victorian mansion! Breakfast was cleverly portioned out in individual jars; juice, yogurt, fruit, plus mini scones and great coffee! In the afternoon there was a choice of snacks and drinks, too.
Molly welcomed us and was lovely and accommodating. Joe, the owner, was pleasant and informative with directions on best route to see the city!

The best in Buffalo
Pros:

What an amazing place and find in Buffalo. Breakfast was stellar and we even got upgraded. Thank you.

In the morning, we had warm scones and a healthy parfait with home made granola. We will be back for sure!

We'll definitely stay again...
Pros:

This place is great. Huge rooms in a beautiful historic victorian home. I don't need a waffle machine and hotel pans full of overcooked bacon and eggs so I really enjoyed their simple but excellent breakfast (yogurt, fresh fruit, etc.). Plenty of street parking. Pricing was similar to many of the local hotel chains and this place was way more charming. If I'm going to nitpick the mattress was a little firm for my taste, but you can't please everyone. As a bonus, there's a La Nova minutes just minutes away...
