    If there ever was a five-star hotel, Buffalo Marriott at LECOM HARBORCENTER is it. Its reception, bar, and restaurant are located on the seventh floor offering breathtaking views of the Harborcenter, marine areas, the harbor, and the waterway. The place is pristine clean with polite, helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable staff. Their Panorama restaurant not only offers exquisite food but completely redefines dining with a view. I was mesmerized watching the boats coming and going in the harbor. My room, which was on the 15th floor was drop-dead gorgeous of ultra-modern style and décor. I'd swear I had walked into something done by a modern-day Frank Lloyd Wright. But even more stunning were the views of the harbor and the city. I could even see Buffalo City Hall. My room was immaculately clean and spacious. One of the best hotel rooms I've ever had.

    Since I was last in Buffalo, the new Marriott HarborCenter opened. This boutique size property is stunning inside. Loved the M Club for breakfast. Wished every Marriott had one. My room was spacious. Super comfy bed. And the shower was incredible. Wish I had that shower head and water pressure at home. As a Titanium Lifetime member, I only wished my room had a lakeside view. Otherwise a perfect stay!

    This is my 3rd stay here. The staff is always friendly and the rooms are nice with a great view. The parking garage can be a challenge sometimes and one of the elevators wasn't working this trip. The MLounge gives it a Star.

    Notes: our room was free with hotel points and we had access to the hotel lounge. An impromptu trip so we had no activities planned. We chose to use valet service which was about $5 more than self park (plus tip). Valet service was easy and prompt. Check-In was easy. The room was clean. We had a king room with a city view. The bed was comfortable and everything looked updated. There is a large private gym and the hotel gym is a small room off to the side. The hotel gym had several cardio rooms and a few weight machines and a small set of dumbbells. They also had towels and a cooler with small bottles of water. Lounge - the lounge is off of the main restaurant. Lounge access is 24/7. They had a cooler with water, sodas etc and various snacks available. In the evening, they had some warm appetizers and charcuterie options. In the mornings, they had the usual scrambled eggs, bacon, etc. My favorite was the nespresso machine! Later in the evening of our stay, staff did send a bottle of Prosecco, dessert and a lovely anniversary note. All in all, we'd return to this spot in the future.

    Buffalo Marriott at LECOM Harborcenter is a conveniently located hotel right next to - and also connected to - the KeyBank Center in downtown Buffalo. Convenience and access to KeyBank Center are the major wins when staying at this Marriott location... but you're paying a premium for these wins, and I'd otherwise say the hotel rooms themselves leave something to be desired. For the sake of comparison, I've stayed in downtown Chicago - king bed, corner room w. big windows, junior suite at a very nice boutique hotel - and paid less per night than I did at this Buffalo Marriott (for a lake view room with two queen beds). The room I was provided at this location was fine... but also felt fairly generic. There were no real "extras" like you'd expect for the pricetag. And while the staff at this hotel were very lovely, there are certainly some improvements that could be made to the overall experience (packaging of room service items, pillows that don't go almost immediately flat, etc). The entrances / mapping around the elevators feels a bit wonky when you first get there, but once you make your way around a little bit? It's super easy. Almost as easy as taking the little walkway / skybridge across the way to KeyBank Center. TL;DR The rooms leave something to be desired, but convenience and accessibility are the big wins here. I might consider staying here again if attending an event at KeyBank Center... but I might look at alternative hotels that would probably more align with their price point.

    This place was a great place to stay for a wedding. There were also a bunch of rumors stating that Josh Allen was staying at the hotel and riding elevators with some guests here. The room was comfortable. The city view was cool. It was pretty easy to get everywhere. I wouldn't say walking distance...though you can certainly walk. It's just sketchy to walk to places around here. Cool views. The staff were very friendly. Parking is expensive. Cool that Southern Tier Brewery, Tim Hortons, ICE rinks, etc. are all on site.

    Nice conference rooms on the 7th Floor, next to the Lobby. The room was comfortable, with nice chairs.although the temperature was quite cold at times. The Coffee and Tea Rea could have been better set up. For example, there was not a decaffeinated pot available on the first day of the meeting. The Half-Half was spoiled when I added it to my coffee.' The Hot water was cold by the afternoon, It was not refreshed and the heaters under the pots were extinguished. The ladies room for the conference area needd attention by mid-day. I let the meeting organizers about these things. By the second day(today) things were a bit better. This are oversights which a hotel in this category should not have

    Truly exceptional professional hospitality and predominately due to very seasoned, well-rounded and traveled Marriott hospitality professionals. Our first contact by one of the managers late afternoon on Christmas Day was sheer perfection and instantly put us in a place of ease after a very long cross-country road trip. This service made what made a high end Marriott concept worth the price in a market that otherwise may not have been able to support it. Buffalo, NY lacks enough waterfront activity or walking distance nightlife to make this a destination hotel in and of itself. Yet, our experience and the conditions of this hotel made it worth the rates and all the gratuity we spent. This is what professional hospitality service is and what sets the professionals apart from the workers or employees. It is the attitude and commitment to serve and to make guests' experience priority. Our room was modern, comfortable, airy, with plush beds and seemed perfectly suited let you just melt into a cloud. The room was absolutely clean. All housekeeping staff were professional, friendly, and willing to assist. Because of Covid protocol, this hotel, similar to others, does not automatically clean rooms or changes linens daily. The request for this service can be made in person or through the Marriott Bonvoy app. With the ability to make these requests via the Bonvoy mail Asoka and efficiently. We had the opportunity to visit the M Club, a benefit for some Bonvoy Mariott members where snacks and beverages are often available in a suite tucked away from the crowds. This is a beautiful space with a single attendant and in my opinion well worth starting and locking into a loyalty journey with Marriott. Parking at this venue is not included and is run by a separate entity. It is less expensive that other sister properties in other similar cities, though, and with very poor mass transit options, access to vehicles, cabs, or ride share are essential if you care to or need to leave the immediate area. The Buffalo, NY metro rail, from the start decades ago, literally travels only up and down Main Street from LeCom Harbourfront to the University of Buffalo Main Street Campus. Buffalo, NY is not an easily walkable city and assuming one can easily access nightlife or other entertainment features by walking from the metro stops, especially for out of town visitors unfamiliar with the area, may prove difficult and dangerous. Many of the stops are unsafe and ill-attended. What we LOVED: -The staff, many from out of country with incredible service skills, a level of kindness and professionalism that is hard to find, even at this level. -Access to bar and restaurant services (reviewed separately) -Absolutely CLEAN rooms -Access to Canisius College hockey rinks where you easily spend a little time watching pee wee hockey players practice if you wish -Walking access to the Buffalo Sabres NHL rink (really only a benefit if you care to attend a game) -Walking access to the Canalside ice skating rink which we did and LOVED but again, only a benefit if you care to ice skeet or watch ice skating -The staff, again, and the accommodations, that made me feel so relaxed, welcome, and because of that allowed me to decompress from a business year and long drive to Buffalo across country I highly recommend.

The Inn is right in the heart of the village, with nice restaurants north and south on Elmwood. Intermixed are interesting shops and boutiques, cafes, and even a cool grocery store. A mile south is Allen Street and all its wares; a mile north is Buffalo State and the art museum. Hop on a one of those rent-by-the-hour bikes, and Canalside and downtown is a quick pedal away. Even more, there is easy access to the freeway that gets you to Niagara Falls quickly (I suggest Whirlpool State Park for an alternative trip; the hike to the bottom of the gorge is gorgeous). The Inn itself is clean, interestingly decorated and comfortable. The room we stayed in was large ... and my wife took advantage of the large bathtub to soak away a late evening while enjoying a glass of wine. There are snacks, toiletries, water and other small touches that made the stay very enjoyable. What isn't mentioned on the Inn's website prominently is the breakfast: they are delicious. The owner has worked in the restaurant industry as a chef, and it shows. There is a wide selection of healthy options (such as fruit, granola, yogurt) along with hearty meals, pastries, cheese, sausage, etc. And, perhaps most importantly, the coffee was great. One last thing: take advantage of the porch. There is an outdoor sitting area off the communal living room that provides a great place for enjoying coffee and a newspaper in the morning, and a delicious nightcap (perhaps with some Buffalo-style pizza) in the late evening. The people watching from the porch is also great (Elmwood Avenue is pedestrian-heavy throughout the day and evening). Anyway ... if you enjoy culture, food, people-watching, access and beautiful neighborhoods, you'll love this place.

My only complaint is that we have our 9 month old puppy and they have no green space for a dog to go out. We walked down to the Embassy Suites ( a block) and they have a wonderful lawn area. Otherwise there really is nothing for a dog to go out and that is not ideal , especially in the middle of the night, it of course is not safe nor do you want to be in the city center with a puppy at 1:00am. There is a courtyard with a green space for dogs but we were told dogs couldn't go in. We are here for a few nights so we will see how it does. Update- because of the lack of area for any dogs I highly recommend going to the Embassy a few blocks down. We are leaving a day early because of this.

From the second you walk in, the house radiates that classic, cozy "Old Buffalo" energy that makes you want to cancel your plans and just exist in a state of perpetual relaxation. To the left of the entrance is the dining room. It's less of a room and more of a 24/7 hospitality hug. There is a relentless flow of snacks: chips, pretzels, fruit, and candy. The drink selection is equally aggressive in the best way possible (Nespresso, BOTH Pepsi and Coke products, beers, and teas). I spent an embarrassing amount of time just surveying my options. ​The Room (The Grover Cleveland): The room is a great mix of "I'm in a historical landmark" and "Thank God there's a heated bathroom floor." It's well-preserved but doesn't lack the modern essentials. ​The Pros: Mini-fridge, wall-mounted TV with streaming, and a shower with a hand wand (excellent water pressure, too). They even left two pitchers of water for me, one chilled, one room temp. That is the kind of over-preparedness I appreciate. The large windows allow tons of natural light to enter. Wall mounted Aveda shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the roomy shower. And yes, the bathroom has a wall-console controlled heated floor!! There are two luggage racks, writing desk and two comfy lounge chairs along with the king sized bed. One side has a nightstand with alarm clock abd the other side has a marble shelf on top of an old-style steam heater. There are plenty of plugs around the room and the door has bolt lock with old-style key. ​The Con: My only tiny gripe? The pillows. They were a bit on the "pancake" side of the spectrum, very thin and definitely not fluffy. If you like a firm loft, you might find them lacking. ​The Amenities The fireside library and parlor are perfect for pretending you're reliving the 18th-century lifestyle, and the covered front porch is elite-tier for people-watching. Parking is easy: you can pay for the off-street spot or just roll the dice with the free street parking (which was totally fine). ​The Food & The "Staff" The breakfast spread is legit. We're talking yogurt varieties, hard-boiled eggs, fresh fruit, homemade granola, and homemadr scones that I am still thinking about days later. Seriously, the scones alone are worth the booking. Also, special shout-out to the resident dog who clearly thinks he's the General Manager. He's the friendliest employee on the payroll. ​The location is walkable to a bunch of local shops and restaurants, so you're right in the heart of things. If you want a comfy stay that is affordable and feels historical but isn't "stuffy," this is your place!
