The Spotlight on Econo Lodge Buffalo South

Budget-Friendly Comfort Just Minutes from Buffalo’s Concert Scene

Modern convenience meets classic value at the Econo Lodge Buffalo South, a no-frills hotel located just off Interstate 90 and only 10 minutes from downtown Buffalo. With easy access to major venues and attractions like the Erie County Fairgrounds and First Niagara Center, this hotel is a smart pick for music lovers who want to stay close to the action without breaking the bank.

Why Concert-goers love it

The location is a standout — just a short drive from downtown venues and major concert spaces. Guests love the quick highway access and the fact that it's only about three miles from Ralph Wilson Stadium. After a high-energy night, you’ll appreciate the quiet, suburban setting that makes it easy to rest and recharge. Free parking and a flexible check-in time of 3:00 PM are added conveniences for travelers arriving from out of town.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends road-tripping for a show
- Solo travelers catching a must-see artist
- Couples planning a concert weekend
- Fans looking for a quiet place to recharge
- Budget-conscious music lovers who value location over luxury

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the hotel offers a free continental breakfast each morning — perfect after a late night. You’ll find coffee, juice, danishes, muffins, oatmeal, bagels, and English muffins. For other meals, there are several walkable eateries and late-night spots just a short drive away, and food delivery apps run reliably in the area.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself doesn’t host live music or a bar, it’s within easy distance of downtown Buffalo’s nightlife — from live music bars to low-key lounges. Whether you want to keep the night going or wind down with a local craft beer, you’ll find plenty of options a quick ride away.

What People Say

Guests love the hotel’s affordability, cleanliness, and easy access to Buffalo’s major highways and venues. Many reviewers mention the friendly staff and the value of the free breakfast. It’s not luxury, but it delivers exactly what concert-goers need: a safe, clean place to sleep near the action.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel is a bit dated in décor — think more “classic roadside motel” than boutique chic — and there’s no fitness center or on-site bar. Still, for the price, most travelers say it’s worth the trade-off.

The Bottom Line

Econo Lodge Buffalo South is a solid, budget-friendly base for concert-goers who want convenience, quiet, and comfort after the encore.

Slightly disappointed

Liked: I flew into Buffalo and wanted to just sleep and continue home Sunday. The motel was located right where I needed it to be. I was alarmed at first for my safety, being alone. The young male clerk was kind and helpful, putting me on a second floor end room for quiet. But there was no blanket and it was unseasonably cold. A hot shower helped and the woman who checked me out was also kind. Nice to-go snack and I was on my way.
Disliked: Steps to my room. That kept me from getting a blanket.

it was clean, probably good...

Liked: Property did not look appealing and Having other stays at other places, it lacked a lovely lobby and I really had hoped for a hot breakfast. HOWEVER, the room was very clean, just not a little nicer in appearance than I hoped. The young man at Front desk very nice.

Good

Liked: Been here twice, so I knew what I can expect. For short stay it is sufficient. The most convenient thing is a laundry in the building (2dollars per cycle) with washing machine and dryer. Wifi was ok, sometimes I had to reconnect. Overall good enough if you are not expecting luxury accomodation. Staff is great and helpfull.
Disliked: As an european, breakfast is really poor. I am not sure if it is common in US but I am not used to eat sweets and biscuits and other things filled with sugar for breakfast. The only healthier option were apples and bottled water but no such things like ham, sausages or boiled eggs as we are used to in Europe.

Give Blasdell a try!

Liked: Very clean. Jody at check-in was super helpful. I appreciate the ability to plug in our EV charger to an outlet located on the adjoining 18-wheeler parking lot. The location is perfect for a stop over on our trips north to both the Finger Lakes and Ontario. Have stayed here before many times, and plan on doing so again.
Disliked: The room was a bit loud this trip due to the guests in the room above. This time of year, AC is on vs heater. According to staff, it is one or the other. Our night was chilly. Could have used an extra blanket.
