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.

Should have kept on driving…

Liked: Got a good rate.
Disliked: The building was quite dated, and the rooms could be better maintained. Some of the floor boards were coming apart. Also, the room reeked of cigarette smoke! The soap in packets were not very soapy.

worse exeperence ever

Liked: the location
Disliked: the staff clearly saw I had to go to the bathroom, as I was dancing around the lobby. 3 different times, I have stayed here, 2 of them, I had to use the bathroom and both times, I peed myself because of some stupid law that doesn't allow people who pay over 250$ to stay there! and all that women could say, is sorry! sorry didn't cut after I peed myself twice!!!

Passable

Liked: Very close to Highmark Stadium. Easy to get on/off the highway.
Disliked: Price was too high for what this room is. The breakfast in a bag should not be advertised as ‘breakfast included”. Overall, the only reason I would stay at this hotel is for a Bills game, otherwise I would go somewhere else. Go Bills!
