Scottish Inn - North Tonawanda Guest Reviews
Write a review
Scottish Inn - North Tonawanda is a classic, no-frills motel located just a short drive from both Buffalo's live music scene and the iconic Niagara Falls. With clean, brightly colored rooms and practical amenities like microwaves, refrigerators, and coffee makers, it’s a convenient and budget-conscious pick for music fans on the go.
If you're catching a show in Buffalo or nearby Niagara Falls, this motel places you just 20–25 minutes from most major venues. You’ll appreciate the 24-hour front desk for late-night check-ins after a concert, and the quiet neighborhood gives you a peaceful place to recover after the show. Free WiFi is a plus if you're uploading concert clips or checking in with friends.
While the Scottish Inn doesn't have on-site dining, each room comes equipped with a microwave and fridge, perfect for late-night snacks or leftovers. Several casual dining spots and takeout options are within a short drive. Coffee makers in-room help you recover the morning after, and nearby diners offer hearty breakfasts.
Nightlife is a quick drive away — you're within 20 minutes of Buffalo’s bars, clubs, and live music venues. Whether you’re heading downtown for a headliner or just want a low-key drink, you’ll find plenty of options nearby. The motel itself is a quiet place to wind down afterward.
The motel is basic, so don’t expect luxury or trendy décor. There’s no on-site restaurant or bar, and you’ll need a car or rideshare to get to most concert venues. Think of it as a solid place to crash, not hang out.
Scottish Inn - North Tonawanda is a smart, affordable option for concert-goers who want a clean, quiet place to recharge between shows and sightseeing.

I did not feel safe!...
Liked: nothing!
Disliked: Idid not feel safe! Scottish Inn - North Tonawanda through Booking.comI drove into a dark parking lot with 1 car present, office is a tiny box with a call button, no attendant… a man in street clothes with no ID came out of 101 and approached me from behind when I pressed the doorbell and said “ you gotta press this one” reached over my shoulder and went to press it… this guy in jeans and a t shirt ended up working there, I guess? Another man buzzed me into a tiny plexiglassed room and stayed behind a security screen and gave me one key card with the number written in it in marker… he said I could not have a second key even though I paid $220 for 2 adjoining rooms. When I asked about the lights because I can’t see anything he said they keep them off because of bugs. When I went to grab my one key card, this same man swiped himself into my rooms and opened the door. I was greeted by a tiny corridor leading up to what looked like a tiny gas station bathroom with a new fancy bowl glued to the top…this is why the pictures don’t show the floor, because it’s bad. The rooms do not look like the pictures…walls in bad shape.. I said "no" and stepped back out because I was scared to sleep or let my children sleep in a room I can’t get a second key to, but this guy staying a few doors down has a key? I said this doesn’t look like the pictures and he said “No refund!” The guy behind the plexiglass, doesn't speak much. He said he “I can't. You call booking.com” I have to email booking.com who responds it’s the property owners (his) decision. It reminded me of the Bates Motel and I knew I’d never feel safe for me or children sleeping there.Is there something you can do to disassociate your whole company from this one scary site and poor management? And Give me a refund?! I stayed at the Hilton express in one room together a mile down… it was the right decision .

Great stay but didn't care...
Liked: Excellent place to stay. Always clean and neat.
Disliked: Only problem this time were the people staying in the room next to us were smoking, a lot. We told management and they took care of it, but the smell was so bad that it had already made the bath towels and sheets smell.
