Who this Hotel is great for

Food and Drink Options

Headed back late after a show? While there’s no full-service restaurant, the hotel offers a daily American buffet breakfast—perfect after a night out. Guests can also use the on-site grill and in-room kitchens to whip up late-night bites. The nearby Walden Galleria Mall (only a 16-minute walk) features a variety of restaurants for casual dining or takeout.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more focused on rest than revelry, you're only a short ride from Buffalo’s lively downtown bars, lounges, and live music venues. Prefer something low-key? The hotel’s shared lounge makes a great spot to unwind with friends or recap the concert night.

What People Say

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the property is a bit outside downtown, so a car or rideshare is helpful for getting to and from venues. Others mention that the breakfast area can get busy on weekends—no big deal if you’re sleeping in after a late night anyway!
