Categories

Cleanliness
7.4
Many reviewers report rooms as clean and the lobby smelling fresh, but there are repeated complaints about odors (bedding, onion/marijuana/mildew), spiderwebs, gum found in bathroom trash bags, and pool/pool-step debris that reduce the overall cleanliness score.
Service
7.6
Staff are often described as polite and friendly with helpful check-in, but there are several service lapses: missed housekeeping requests, unaddressed maintenance (TV remote), crib unavailability without remedy, slow/no response via Booking.com and noise complaints not resolved.
Location
9.5
Location is repeatedly praised as convenient for shopping, University at Buffalo, and general travel needs; multiple guests explicitly cite the location as a highlight.
Room Quality
7.3
Rooms are described as spacious and comfortable by many, but issues include strong/unpleasant odors in some rooms, AC control and rattling covers, doors sticking/loud, poor bathroom lighting, and stained shower floors that lower the room-quality rating.
Amenities
8.5
Basic amenities (pool, parking, breakfast area, in-room fridge) are present and useful for guests; however, complaints about a too-small fridge with no freezer, pool hygiene concerns, limited breakfast seating/comfort, and missing advertised items (crib) temper the score.
Value for Money
8.6
Several guests felt the cost was reasonable for the area (especially during college move-in), though a few noted they'd prefer a lower price given issues with breakfast quality and some room problems.
Food and Beverage
6.5
Breakfast is the most frequent complaint: repetitive offerings, food served below safe/desired temperatures, some reheated items and limited variety; a minority found breakfast above average, but overall sentiment is notably negative.
Overall Experience
8.6
Overall stays are generally positive due to location, basic cleanliness for many rooms, and friendly staff at times, but recurring operational issues (breakfast problems, housekeeping lapses, odors, noise, and occasional maintenance/amenity failures) prevent a top score.
* This sentiment is summarized by AI based on user reviews.

Pros:

Breakfast was good. Plenty of parking.

Cons:

Asked for housekeeping 2 days, never received service. Got towels from front desk. Noisy neighbor at 11 pm on 10/2, called front desk to complain and it continued until 3:00 am. Marijuana odor throughout the night. Entry and bathroom door stuck on floor and made very loud noise. Found a glass bottle of tequila on pool steps and food in bottom of pool. Poor lighting in bathroom. Needs a larger sign on Niagara Falls Boulevard.
