Hotels Near Regal Elmwood Center in Buffalo

I am sure that, at some point, this hotel was first class. Unfortunately, it appears that something has allowed them to lose sight of the small things that make the difference between what they WERE, and what they ARE. First impressions were very good: historic architecture, classy music in the lobby and elevator, very helpful front desk. But then, then the shine started to fade. It took over an hour to get ice delivered to the room. The “smart shower” did not work and we needed to move to a room with a working shower. 75% of the menu items that we ordered at restaurant were different than, as described on the menu. The public hot springs area (just outside our window) was filled with people playing load music until after 11PM. (Even though they have a sign stating no music allowed.) It is too bad that skimping on the small things shines a poor light on the employees who are trying to do the best that they can.

When they upgrade you, they do it in a big way. We had a spacious suite which was clean, quiet and comfortable. The gentleman at the front desk made a great recommendation for dinner (Pearl St. Brewing Co) that was just a short walk. I was concerned when we first arrived about panhandlers in the area but didn’t see any when we went to dinner.

There are breakfast, usually American scrambled eggs and boiled eggs, as well as sausage and ham. You can also make some waffles yourself. There are three kinds of cereals. There are two kinds of fruits. Basically, there are drinks, like juice or milk. The hotel has a washing machine and dryer, and each floor has it. Washing machine 8 25 cents wash once, the dryer is 4 25 cents. If you don't have enough cents, you can go to the front desk to change. Baggage can also be stored at the front desk without any fees. There is a parking lot.

Stayed here while in town for an appointment. Had previously stayed at a competitor property next door with a horrible stay. We were very pleased to find that the experience didn't carry over for the area. While there were a few items that could have been better (more on that below), we were happy with our stay. All of the staff that we interacted with were extremely welcoming and helpful. A few items that could have been better that we noted was the transition from the hard floor to the carpet in the room needed some attention. The carpet could be replaced as it is worn at the transition area which is expected over time. Otherwise the room was clean as were all areas of the hotel that we accessed. The little store area was unique and well stocked with a variety of options and seemed to have far better pricing that what one would expect at a hotel. If back in the Buffalo Amherst area, we would stay here again as it is far better than some others near by!

I take writing feedback seriously and have written hundreds of reviews; I hope my review is helpful. I am a travel warrior and stayed at dozens of Marriott’s last year over 250 nights. This Marriott was a massive disappointment at every turn with a few bright spots. Dated: If you want to relive the 1970s, this is your hotel. The rooms have comfortable beds, but after that, the issues multiply: Shower: One setting for the shower head, just like grandma’s house. Shower: Slippery. I requested a shower mat 3 times and was told all 3 times they were looking for 1. Nobody ever followed up to say “sorry, we don’t have one.” I stayed 5 nights. Horrible. WiFi: horrible. Absolutely the worst WiFi I have had in over 10 years. We had 2 rooms between my wife and kids and we were all constantly kicked off the WiFi. Concierge Lounge: A joke. I came late for breakfast but still within the posted time. I found a very unappetizing dish of scrambled eggs that looked old. I asked for more eggs and was told “No… when it’s gone, it’s gone. I get an allotment and that’s it.” I suggest they update the sign to “when it’s gone, it’s gone.” Ridiculous. Broken coffee maker in the room: I discovered my coffee maker was broken. I enjoy drinking my first cup in my room while waking up. I asked for another. They brought another. The next morning I discovered it, too was broken. What? Ridiculous. Breakfast was good and the staff was friendly on first floor. The French Onion soup at their restaurant was delicious. Cody was professional and polite and tried his best to make up for a horrible property. I will never stay at this property again.

The hotel should be considered next to Buffalo City, about 30 minutes from the waterfall, a little drive away. The first room was arranged next to the road and it felt a bit noisy. After communicating, I quickly changed to a room inside, free parking, it is very convenient, and there are some restaurants around. Simple meals are also convenient. There is a laundry room, and the service desk downstairs can buy washing powder and change coins. Still recommended hotel

This property is fairly well maintained and the photos are accurate. The front desk staff was friendly. Overall we were satisfied with the visit……. except for the very smelly pair of socks a previous guest left in the drawer near the bathroom sink… that made us gag (room 318). The only other drawback is that the parking lot was very dark and felt unsafe.

We live almost 2 hours away, and stayed at Sleep Inn & Suites so our family of 4 could get a little extra sleep before an early morning flight out of BUF. We booked a room and parking package, which allowed us to leave our car in the hotel parking lot for an upcharge that amounted to half of what we'd have paid to park it at the airport. Our room (standard, 2 double beds) was not fancy, and the shower was very small, but it was clean, comfortable, and quiet, and everything was in good working order. Best of all, the breakfast offerings were set out early enough for us to have a delicious meal before we left, and our shuttle driver to the airport could not have been more cheerful or helpful. When we returned over a week later, late at night, the shuttle arrived to pick us up at the airport within minutes of our calling. We had such a good experience, we've already booked a stay for the night before our next family vacation!

Hotel was under renovations at the time so I'll give them that. But rooms were dirty, smelled, and didn't seem sanitized. Tried to mask the smell with baby powder smells throughout hallways. No pool. Had a conference room that was convenient but nothing fancy about it. Beds were quite uncomfortable. Nicest thing about hotel was the bar attached that had a good menu and alcohol selection; and you could walk to Denny's and walk to the Speedway for snacks.

The photo shows the sunset from our hotel room. The room was well designed and I especially liked the bathroom shower, which reminded me of an expensive hotel. There was a wide variety of breakfast options. However, it was unfortunate that the laundry room was broken and could not be used.
