The Spotlight on Candlewood Suites Buffalo Amherst By IHG

Relaxed, Suite-Style Comfort Near Buffalo's Music Scene

Modern and practical, Candlewood Suites Buffalo Amherst offers a laid-back stay just outside downtown Buffalo, with easy access to major venues and local attractions. Located in Amherst, this all-suite, 2-star hotel is perfect for travelers who want convenience without the downtown hustle. With spacious rooms that include kitchenettes, free Wi-Fi, and a 24-hour front desk, it's a great base for concert-goers looking to wind down after the show.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is just a short drive from popular Buffalo music venues and only 5 miles from Buffalo Niagara International Airport—ideal if you're flying in for a show. Guests appreciate the peaceful, residential setting after a loud night out. The 24-hour front desk and easy check-in make late arrivals stress-free, and the in-room kitchenettes are perfect for midnight snacks. Parking is free, and the nearby I-290 makes getting to and from concerts super convenient.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for affordable and roomy accommodations
  • Solo travelers flying in to catch a favorite artist
  • Couples wanting a low-key weekend escape with space to relax
  • Fans needing a quiet space to recharge post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want comfort and amenities

Food and Drink Options

While there's no on-site restaurant, each suite includes a kitchenette with fridge, microwave, and stovetop, giving you full control over late-night meals. The hotel also offers barbecue facilities—great for pre-show cookouts. Many local eateries and fast food spots are just a short drive or delivery away, and you can stock up at nearby grocery stores. Breakfast isn’t served, but with your own kitchen, you can sleep in and eat on your own schedule.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself keeps things quiet, it’s a quick ride to Buffalo’s buzzing nightlife. From live music bars to intimate lounges, options abound downtown. After the show, head back to your suite for a restful night—or fire up the barbecue for a late-night hang.

What People Say

Guests love the spacious, apartment-style rooms, especially the kitchen amenities that make longer stays more comfortable. Many note the hotel is clean, quiet, and well-managed, with friendly staff and a safe, suburban feel. The free parking and proximity to the airport and venues are major pluses.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t a luxury hotel, so don’t expect fancy decor or on-site dining. Some guests mention the lack of daily housekeeping and that you’ll need to drive or order food. But if you’re after space, simplicity, and value, it delivers.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to Buffalo for a concert and want a roomy, quiet, and budget-friendly place to crash, Candlewood Suites Buffalo Amherst is a solid choice.

Poor - 1.5 out of 5

Georgina Sun, 17 August 2025

Poor

Liked: comfort of the beds.
Disliked: I was incredibly disappointed with my stay at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that cleanliness and professionalism were not priorities here. The lobby and common areas felt unkempt and outdated, and there was an unpleasant odor throughout.The front desk experience was alarming. The receptionist was dressed in sweatpants and a casual t-shirt—definitely not what I expect from a professional IHG property. Honestly, I wasn’t even sure he actually worked there. He looked like he had just come from the gym and seemed totally clueless about basic procedures. While he was friendly, the lack of professionalism was unsettling.The room itself was no better. It was outdated and felt dirty. The fridge had visible stains inside, the bathroom was unclean, and overall it did not meet even basic cleanliness standards. This is not the level of quality I expect from any hotel, let alone an IHG property.Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this hotel. There are better, cleaner, and more professionally run options in the area. This was a disappointing and uncomfortable experience.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Uncomfortable

Liked: Elevators were quick.
Disliked: Traveled with a child in a wheelchair. Requested a 1st floor room. The hotel said they were unaware of the request. Because, it came through a 3rd party. I went through Booking.com. A/C was terrible. Unit kept shutting off every 5 mins. The thermostat temperature was in correct and worked on a motion sensor. The bedroom was cut off from the unit. There was a small mechanical fan that was ineffective. 2 horrible nights of sleep. This is my 1st negative critique of any hotel ever.

Decent

Liked: Two different entries, the manager was professional and ensured that the guests' needs were met. Probably will not stay again.
Disliked: The pillows were run down, there was one person working most of the time, there was limited guest service, and the store was limited on items.

Nice rooms

Nice Hotel Stay

Liked: Hotel was Neat and Clean. Room was good. It was really nice to have a full kitchen. They have a coffee machine and its operational 24*7. It's about 30 mins drive to Niagara Falls State Park. Staff was polite and helpful. Would surely visit again.
Disliked: I had a reservation with 2 queen beds. But was told Hotel is fully booked and I was given a room with single queen bed and 1 sofa cum bed. Sofa bed was not at all comfortable. At least I didn't like it. No breakfast.
