    I went to Inn Buffalo for a rehearsal dinner party for a wedding I was in over the summer. The owner and her husband went out of their way the day of the party to make things special, even blowing off some fire crackers to help celebrate the bride and groom. The food was really yummy and fancy. The setting of the party itself inside the Inn Buffalo was interesting because it was this old Victorian place that they purchased and have been restoring. With that said, some of the rooms were in 'rare form' and really need some more attention. I really wanted to give this place 5 stars, but I just can't. I know, because I was a part of the wedding party, that the staff didn't make planning this party the easiest. The hotel was booked way in advance and the hotel did not finalize things until the 11th hour, which brought a lot of stress when the price was much higher than initially anticipated for the bride and the mother of the groom. I imagine there are not many parties booking out the entire hotel the way the group I was a part of did, so it was a special circumstance, but it was a major point or stress and frustration in the days leading up tot he wedding, which is already a very stressful time.

    I would give them 10 stars if I could. If you're looking for a place to stay in Buffalo, look no farther. Beautiful neighborhood close to excellent restaurants and boutique shopping. If you are a fan of turn of the century architecture (or even if you're not) this place will take your breath away. All common rooms are decorated in authentic period style and the restoration (a work in progress) you can see was done with love and attention to detail. The rooms are all top notch. We stayed in the Art Nouveau East room and loved it. Beds were extremely comfortable, all rooms have a fridge and a keurig. The bathrooms have heated floors which were a real treat during a cold Buffalo winter. Light snacks and drinks were supplied at all times in the dining room (try the yummy blueberry scones if they're available!) I can't think of anything that I could have needed or wanted that wasn't already supplied for us. The hosts are incredible. Don't be afraid to ask about the history of the house or the restoration, they are great stewards of this amazing property and enthusiastic boosters of Buffalo. Hoping to come back in the summer to enjoy another stay and spend some time on their amazing porch!

    This is the place to stay if you enjoy the finer things! This restored mansion is located in a charming historic area of Buffalo. Walking distance to shops and restaurants -yet nestled amongst beautiful, well manicured homes. I am so happy we visited while the home was decorated for Christmas. After we came home from dinner we relaxed in the sitting room. The heated floors in the bathroom were amazing. Fresh juices, yogurts, berries, scones and homemade granola in the morning were just the beginning. Pancakes and bacon were also served in the dining room. I also appreciated the ample parking in the back. My car was packed with the contents of my daughter's college dorm- it was nice not to have to park out on the street.

    Billiards room. Fire place. Plenty of records to enjoy.

    Even though I'm a local, staying at InnBuffalo was still a mini vacation. Upon arriving, Joe, one of the Inn's owners, was gracious enough to upgrade our room to a king suite! There was a whole separate room that was the biggest shower I've ever seen with multiple shower heads, amazing. If you go, you must spend some time in the basement billiards room, my husband and I had a cocktail, played some pool, while enjoying a selection of records. Breakfast was pure quality. Everything was homemade and anything that wasn't was from local places around town. (Five points Bakery for bread, Tipico for coffee, and the Lexington Coop for their ingredients) Their homemade scones were the best I ever had, granola was amazing, and their hot breakfast definitely hit the spot. Great owners doing it right. The only question is- how am I suppose to go home to a tile bathroom floor that isn't heated?!

    Just toured this Inn today during their "open to the public" event. The renovation is a work in-progress but what has been done so far is impressive. You can appreciate the vision and gumption of the new owners that are trying to restore this originally built 1898 Hewitt Mansion back to it's magnificence and save another Buffalo historic treasure from being forever lost. We certainly plan to reserve a night here in the near future as these new proprietors deserve to be supported in their quest. I look forward to update my review after our stay. They plan to have a "soft-opening" starting March 1st and are offering 20% room discounts.

Room was quiet and clean. Housekeeping policy/schedule was a bit haphazard. No service the first day, which was fine, but we needed service the second day and asked for it in the morning at the front desk. We came back in the late afternoon and nothing had been done. (And no, we hadn't left the "do not disturb" sign on our door). We left for dinner and asked for service again, but were told that it may not be possible that late in the day. When we got back in the evening, we discovered that it had occurred, so that was great. However, the next day, we found that towels had been replenished but bed wasn't made. 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 hotel is very nice. Rooms are decorated beautifully and bed had great linens. I prefer a firmer bed but still it was comfy. Not quite the typical marriott furniture. For example, an area rug over laminate hardwood floors. And a cart that held the mini fridge, safe, and Keurig. I am a lifetime Marriott platinum member and we enjoyed the benefit of their complementary breakfast. You order off the menu (not buffet) and it was delicious. There is an outside patio area with comfy chairs and firepit...shares the space with the attached restaurant (Jazzboline). Would have liked to try the attached restaurant, but yelp reviews made it sound terrible. (I depend on yelp reviews). We stayed in the courtyard room behind the main building. Windows do not open and no pool. We were traveling through town and stayed one night. Kinda glad it was just one night...the area was just okay. Not much in walking distance more of a city residential area. Overall, it is was a very pleasurable and nice stay.

Upon pulling up outside it doesn't look like much, but once we entered the first thing we noticed was the amazing décor. The customer service from all the staff working the desk and lobby café was also excellent! Checking in was smooth and perfect, she hit all the topics and was very happy, professional, and engaging. She told us lots about the property and gave us an excellent lunch recommendation too! Once we got into the room, it was perfectly decorated just like the common areas we saw upon entering. The tile inset on the bathroom floor and shower floor looked amazing! The bedding was great, flat, and comfy too. Ergonomics of the room were also designed for ease and comfort! They also have a Cadillac Escalade that they use to provide free rides to guests... Anywhere in the area within 5 miles, typically running until midnight! We were fortunate to grab a couple of rides with Marty, who was very engaging and helpful! He took us to a work reception nearby and told us to call him when we were ready to be picked up, which we did and he promptly came back to get us! Shower pressure and quickness of the hot water was perfect! TV also worked perfectly! We enjoyed our visit so much that we'd return to the area just to stay at this hotel again! Highly recommend staying here when in the area! I average staying in 1.5 Marriott properties weekly and based on the poor and inconsistent service at many of them, I wish the management here would train the others on how to keep a property beautifully clean (this place has been here 7 years and it looks brand new still!) and how to provide great service!

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.

Prior to my stay, I called the hotel twice on separate days requesting an early check-in. Having traveled quite a bit, I've learned it's always best to communicate these things in advance. During both calls, I was assured notes would be added to my reservation and that the staff would do their best to accommodate the request. However, during my second call, I was informed there were no notes on file at all. I asked if one could simply be added since I still had over 24 hours before arrival, and I was told someone would call me back within 2-3 hours to confirm. I never received that call. When we arrived on the day of check-in, unsurprisingly, the room was not ready. To their credit, they did offer complimentary breakfast and stored our luggage while we explored the area, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the issues only continued from there. Once entering the room, we noticed visible stains on the bedding, as shown in the photos provided. While I initially tried to let it go and enjoy the trip, it became increasingly difficult to overlook the overall condition of the room. The bench seating near the desk was not only visibly stained, but also loose and unstable to the point where sitting on it felt questionable. I ended up wiping it down myself with disinfectant wipes. The room service phone also did not function properly -- calls could be made, but we could not hear anyone on the other end. After reporting this, no one came up for quite some time, and we had to repeatedly go downstairs to request basic items and toiletries before assistance finally arrived roughly 30-40 minutes later. The hotel itself is in an excellent location, which is honestly one of its strongest qualities. However, the hospitality throughout the stay fell far below expectations. The restaurant service in particular was consistently disappointing. I approached every interaction politely and warmly, yet the staff largely came across as disengaged, cold, and robotic. Very little attentiveness was shown during meals, and the energy from several servers made it quite apparent they did not want to be there. Ironically, the most friendliness we received came when the check was presented. As for the food, it was average at best. Not terrible, but certainly not memorable. Breakfast was underwhelming, and small details were repeatedly overlooked. At one point, we informed the staff that the coffee served was cold, and the response we received was essentially that it had been sitting out and they could simply pour hotter coffee into it to warm it up. That interaction honestly summarized the level of service we experienced throughout the stay: reactive rather than attentive, and lacking the professionalism expected at this price point. Overall, I left disappointed because the hotel has genuine potential. The location is fantastic, and with the right level of care, attentiveness, and hospitality training, the experience could be significantly elevated. Unfortunately, when you are paying premium prices, you expect the quality of service and comfort that is advertised -- and this stay simply did not deliver that. Oh I almost forgot, we got an unexpected visit from a stink bug and the staff merely said "I am so sorry for that"
