Home2 Suites by Hilton Amherst Buffalo

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff!"

Cambria Hotel Niagara Falls

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was very clean, large spacious rooms and friendly front desk staff. My one complaint is that the heat seemed to struggle to keep up in these freezing temperatures. It was 65 in our room when we arrived and we set it to 71… in the morning it was 69 so it didn’t really get to the temp we set it at. It wasn’t freezing in our room by any means… it just wasn’t as warm as we like it. Not a huge problem. Other than that, it was one of the best hotels we’ve stayed at. "
