The Spotlight on Economy Inn Tonawanda

Affordable Comfort Near Buffalo's Music Scene

Modern frills aren’t the focus here, but the Economy Inn Tonawanda delivers on value, location, and convenience. Just a 10-minute drive from downtown Buffalo and only 13 miles from Niagara Falls, this budget-friendly hotel offers a simple place to crash after a high-energy show. With basic comforts like private bathrooms, cable TV, and optional microwaves and fridges in select rooms, it’s a solid home base for music fans on the go.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is a smart pick for fans heading to shows in downtown Buffalo or even up near Niagara Falls. You’re close enough to the venues to keep the vibe going, but far enough to enjoy a quiet night’s sleep after the encore. The 24-hour front desk and free parking make coming and going after a late-night concert hassle-free. While public transit is limited, driving or ride-share services are easy from this location. Plus, with check-in starting at 2:00 PM, you’ve got time to settle in before the show.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends splitting weekend travel costs
  • Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime show
  • Couples who want a simple place to rest after the music
  • Fans needing a break from the noise and crowds
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who just need the basics

Food and Drink Options

There’s no on-site restaurant, but you’ll find plenty of casual dining spots nearby—many open late. While there’s no room service, some rooms include a microwave and fridge for midnight munchies. If you're planning to sleep in after a long night, it’s worth noting that there’s no formal breakfast, but coffee and convenience stores are close by.

Nightlife Options

This isn’t a nightlife hub, but it’s a short drive to Buffalo’s bars, breweries, and live music venues. Want something low-key? Grab a drink nearby before winding down in your room, or head out for one more set downtown.

What People Say

Guests appreciate the affordability, convenience, and quiet location. Many mention the friendly staff and clean rooms as highlights, especially for the price. Travelers say it’s a great base for visiting both Buffalo and Niagara Falls without breaking the bank.

Areas for Improvement

It’s a no-frills stay—don’t expect luxury touches. Some guests note the dated decor and occasional maintenance quirks. But for the price and purpose, most agree it’s more than fair.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a budget-friendly, no-fuss stay close to Buffalo’s concert action, Economy Inn Tonawanda hits the right notes.

Will not use Booking.com anymore.

Disliked: It was reported that Booking.com fouled up the reservation and the motel did not receive it. They did not have the 2 rooms that we requested and we had to settle for a "family room" for the 4 of us, including visitors from China. This is the 2nd time that Booking.com has fouled our reservations!

Bad

Liked: Nothing DONT STAY, I was there for 10 mins and left! I parked in front of my room, 2 mins later a guy pulls up and starts swearing and making threats! He liives in the room next to the one I was given and apparently I parked in a spot to close to the one he wanted, I was scared so I ended up leaving the owner told me there was nothing wrong. There was also no AC so the window had to be opened which made it even scarier with him sitting right outside the window, make threats and calling me a druggie for being there.

Nothing else stood out in...

Liked: Terrible Stay – Would Never Recommend!I stayed at the Economy Inn during my recent trip to Niagara Falls, and it was a huge disappointment. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience deserves it.
Disliked: The room was filthy – stained sheets, hair in the bathroom, and a musty odor that made it hard to breathe.Customer service was rude and unhelpful. The front desk barely acknowledged us and made us feel like we were a bother for checking in.The AC barely worked, and it sounded like a jet engine when it did.Towels were old and scratchy, and there weren’t even enough for two people.It felt unsafe, with shady people hanging around outside and poor lighting at night.
