“nice old inn”
beautiful lobby area, nice history lesson. the inn was very convenient to the village and shopping in williamsville. nice lay out and even tho it was near the freeway it was very quiet. the inn itself needs some updating. the doors are very sticky (makes noise when opened/colsed) and the faucets need help. other than that it was a nice place; good breakfast area and fair breakfast.
Area recommendations
the village of williamsville. very historic and lots of shops to browse. also the eagle house for food and a good place to gather for a cocktail and meet friends.
When to go
best time would be in early spring or late fall. it won't be as hot as mid summer. getting around is not bad; main street has it all. must see are the shops in the village and while there you just have to see the American falls in niagra. best place to eat is the eagle house on main street. but there are plenty of eateries in the village; you won't go hungry and prices are reasonable. there is a park down in the village for wondering with a beautiful white water area. also many attractions in buffalo. for family i recommend the tift nature preserve for the "bug" collecting, the sunset and making smores aferwards.
Getting around
easy access to major highways; the airport is minutes away. main street, hiway 5, will get you just about anywhere. traffic is not bad with turning lanes.
Must see
American falls, niagra falls; tift nature preserve; the navy museum on the waterfront; elmwood avenue and all it's shops and much more.
Dining
favorite is the eagle house but just about every type of food is available in williamsville from tim hortons to top notch dining at local eateries. prices vary but most are reasonable.
Family-friendly activities
check the phone book; there are many many attractions.
