    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.

    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.

    In my eyes, Buffalo is a city you can visit once and be done with it. There are only so many interesting things you can do. That being said, there is only one hotel that should even be an option during your Buffalo trip - and that hotel is the Buffalo Marriott Harborcenter. The building pretty much anchors the area around Key Arena. The front of the building is pretty hard to find, but the beauty of the hookup and make of the hotel is that you can self park in the lot underneath easily for half the price. My dad and I parked and worked our way up to the hotel. The hotel starts on the 7th floor. You're immediately greeted with the Marriott signature scent (my favorite of the Marriott scents!) The lobby is striking. Their restaurant and bar concept is located to the right, while their banquet space is on the left. Straight ahead you'll find service agents eagerly awaiting to check you in. We were upgraded to a lake view room (which I'm sure wasn't hard to do since it was January). I still appreciated my upgrade and went to the room. Since this Marriott is new, it's built with the renovated room style. It's not as stuffy with extra furniture. Everything is crisp and modern. The layout reminds me of something you'd find in a Kohler commercial. We were only there one night but we were very comfortable. The best thing about the Harborcenter is that it's hooked up to the entertainment complex that was created for the Key arena. My dad and I were able to go to 716 pre and post game, and head over to the arena itself without going outside. That was a HUUUUGE plus considering we were in one of the coldest US cities in January. I never felt the need to bring my coat and I was ever thankful for it. We had a drink at the bar and found out that either January is a popular travel month for Canadians, or that there really isn't anywhere to go prior to a Sabres game. The bar and restaurant were packed. After a few minutes of scoping my dad and I were able to grab to awkward seats at the south end of the bar. They were awkward because it made it difficult for the bartenders to see us. Not necessarily their fault - it was more of a design flaw. Nonetheless, these employees were busting their butts. I sincerely hope they were tipped handsomely. If for some odd reason my travels bring me back to Buffalo, I know for a fact I won't choose to stay anywhere except the Marriott Harborcenter. It is simply one of the best Marriott namesakes in the US.

    My hotel experience was so close to perfect, so close. Made a one night reservation over the phone for a Friday night and booked a room with a king size bed, facing the city, instead of the lake because it was a bit cheaper. With my triple A discount the room came to $205 for one night. If you wanted to park down the street in the parking garage it was $10. However, valet was $18 and you can come and go as often as you please. $18 for valet is insane when you are paying big bucks for the room, additionally tipping the valet attendants each time your car is parked and the $10 for WIFI. Yeah, they charge for WIFI which is ludicrous and pretty unheard of these days, you know in the year 2016 and all. Rip off. Am I right? Okay so I valeted my car and headed inside the hotel to which I would have assumed was the lobby but it wasn't, there were just elevators, which evidently needed instruction manuals because the set upon entering didn't lead you to the rooms, only up to floor 7, the actual lobby. Too weird and as I'm riding up the elevator to the lobby I'm thinking, ugh. Well that was my reaction until I stepped out onto the 7th floor and was blown away. The front desk had an electric fireplace behind it, beautiful crafted into the wall, everything was sleek, modern, cozy and pretty much everything you could want. The "lobby" has Panorama on Seven right next to it with a large bar that was literally screaming, "Come drink." I was able to resist for a few hours, checked in and headed up to my room on the 14th floor which you could only get to through a second set of elevators, like I said, instructions needed. Quick note: naturally for my one night stay, I had three suitcases, three shoeboxes, two grocery bags and a cooler and stacked my things on a bell cart which I was told would be brought up to my room. The room was gorgeous, if you're into hardwood floors and that super modern look and feel, which, thankfully, I most certainly am. HUGE windows overlooking the city of Buffalo and by overlooking the city I mean overlooking the filthy rooftop of the smaller building next-door but nevertheless, it was a view. Huge flat screen television which allowed you to log into your netflix, pandora, hulu or amazon accounts to listen to tunes or watch a flick. So I had the Pandora crankin, was rolling around the king size bed (mattress VERY very firm) and there was a little l shaped couch nook with a coffee table which was convenient. Large full length mirror, decent closet space and a big bathroom with a shower and plenty of vanity space. I was impressed. Then, I realized the cart with my luggage never came so I called down to the front desk and they put me on hold for a solid 2 minutes which made me think about all of my things that were possibly MIA and really glad I decided to walk up my bottle of champagne myself so I knew at least that was safe. Seconds later a gentleman arrived at the door with the cart and unloaded all of my bags, hung all of my coats was so professional and friendly, I loved it. I went to the gym which is on the 6th floor. The gym is TINY, couple bikes, treadmills, ellipticals, one leg machine, one arm machine and free weights. Yet, their kid's hockey training gym is 10 times the size down the hall. With that being said, the equipment is modern and new, they have complimentary water bottles, towels and headphones for you and the windows make for a killer workout view. Checked out panorama on seven around 7 pm. The bartender was great, friendly, attentive and everything was going well until I got my bill. I told the bartender I wanted a big in your face bone dry glass of red and he said he had just the thing. If I had known the glass was 22 freaking dollars I would have sipped a little slower, OH, and you know, not have gotten it in the first place. I'm a student for goodness sakes. So that was sneaky in my opinion. The front desk called us a cab as we were headed out for dinner which was convenient. Besides the unnecessary additional fees, the stay was really exceptional. The hotel staff (valet, front desk, people I communicated with over the phone to make reservations were beyond professional, beyond.) Almost forgot, check in is at 4, I called around 11 to see if I could get in sooner and the woman assisting me found a clean room and let me check in at 2, so appreciated. Valet during checkout time is hectic, so if you're in a rush head out early. Tim Hortons is connected to the hotel so you don't have to go outside which is nice. That's all. Good stuff, but you need to bring that cash.

It wasn't a big deal, just kind of odd. The next day bed was made and towels replenished. Not a deal breaker, just unpredictable. Front desk staff wasn't the friendliest, but overall were efficient. Sundry shop could have used a wider range of selections as there is no bar or restaurant at the hotel. Would have been nice to have had some canned cocktails or wines and a couple more types of beer, perhaps a variety of cookies. Indoor pool and hot tub were very nice features of our stay. We enjoyed them daily. Clean. Hotel is walking distance from a couple of coffeehouses, a sports bar, and a some "local gem" restaurants, which was very nice. Not too far from Niagara Falls and other local points of interest, easily accessible by Lyft.

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.

    Spent 2 nights here with a school group attending an FFA convention. Great place at a great price!…read moreThe staff are friendly and accommodating. Very clean and kept up facility. THE BREAKFAST IS AMAZING! The manager, Troy, was so nice to work with and he does everything in his power to make it a great stay. Highly recommended.

    We booked a room here for a Bills game. We ended up with a smoking room, which we didn't want, but…read morewe tried to make it work. It didn't smell that bad upon check-in. After the game, the room smelled disgusting. When the heat kicked on, the smoke smell really came out; however, the room itself was generally unclean. The toilet also ran non-stop. It was going to be a sleepless night with that toilet running continuously. Juggling the handle didn't stop that toilet. The bathroom wall was disgusting and had brown stains on it. My travel partner spoke to the front desk before the game, but we were told it was non-refundable. The front desk said we could move to another room tomorrow, so that was promising. We tried to hang in there. It was the dirty sheets that sent us packing. One bed was covered in hair on the comforter and on the sheets. The other bed had stains and hair. I took pictures of the grossness and then I booked another hotel 15 miles away while my travel partner went to talk to the front desk again. The front desk said if we brought it to their attention sooner, they would've refunded us (we brought up how we didn't want the smoking room, my travel partner went downstairs to talk to the front desk about how we didn't like the condition of the room). Soooo... hopefully the other rooms are better? We had a bad time. We left at 1:30 am for another hotel. Update: My travel partner was told the general manager would be in at 7 am. When he called this morning around 10, he was told the general manager wouldn't be in until 2 pm. We'll see! Update 2: we called back at 3 pm and asked for the general manager. We were transferred to a full mailbox, so we were unable to leave a message. Update 3: received call back from manager. We received a refund of half the stay, which is better than nothing! The manager did also reply to my review, which is great! My Conclusion: Would I give them another chance? Yes. The rest of the hotel seemed very clean. The bird in the lobby was cute. Personally, I think this room just fell through the cracks with housekeeping and was missed. The smell was tolerable, but the running toilet and dirty sheets was the big problem for me. Also, with Buffalo being only 3 hours away, I visit fairly often. I wouldn't write off this place due to a fluke like this. Go Bills. :)

    If you're looking for that authentic Buffalo charm without feeling like you've accidentally…read moretrespassed into your grandmother's historically preserved living room, this is the spot. 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!

    We really enjoyed our stay at the inn. It has a very classic and homey vibe to the establishment…read more Very different from your typical hotels. The inn is located in ElmWood- the area is very walkable. Close by to many local shops and restaurants. The inn communal area is very pretty and is filled with histories. We were in awe how well maintained the inn was. The staffs were all very friendly. I really enjoyed talking to Polly. She was very accommodating. The stay comes with light breakfast included. The room is huge and is nicely furnished. Some improvement suggestions I would have is having more outlets or extension cords. The room actually faced the street and it was shockingly not too noisy, though I thought the inn was thoughtful when I saw they did provide a white noise machine. I highly recommend checking out this place if you're in Buffalo NY. Definitely worth the money.
