Go Buffalo!

Ariel front desk attendant was fabulous. She helped every aspect of our stay. Sam the shuttle driver, went out of his way to help us out of town folks enjoy our stay. Paul, another shuttle driver also chipped in to do room service. Anna was great for breakfast! It was a total team effort! Let’s go Buffalo!!

The room was up-to-date, bed was comfortable and everything was clean. Staff was attentive and friendly. The breakfast provided was also a decent meal with alternatives. Right across the street from the airport and close to downtown. My only concern was there was minimal linens and the lock on the door got stuck a few times.

Disliked: Cleanliness
My recent stay at this Holiday Inn was, without exaggeration, one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had — and an absolute disgrace to the Holiday Inn brand. To begin, the advertised airport shuttle was nonexistent. I waited patiently, only to be completely ignored. Multiple calls to the hotel went unanswered, leaving me stranded and forced to pay for an Uber out of pocket. Strike one. Upon arrival, things only got worse. The floors were visibly dirty, and I encountered bugs within minutes of walking in. The elevator reeked of stale cigarette smoke — a clear violation of what should be a non-smoking property. When I finally reached my room, I found the door handle barely attached to the door — a basic safety and maintenance failure that should have been addressed immediately. But none of that compares to what happened overnight. I spent the entire night scratching, only to wake up at 4 a.m. with a bed bug bite on my neck. Let me be clear: this is not just unpleasant, it is a health and safety hazard. Bed bugs are not only repulsive, they are a sign of gross negligence. This alone is enough to warrant serious concern from corporate. I paid for a clean, safe, and restful night. Instead, I got a sleepless, bug-infested nightmare. For the price I paid — and under the expectation that the Holiday Inn name guarantees a basic level of quality — this experience was insulting. This hotel should be ashamed. Your guests deserve, at a bare minimum, a clean and safe room free from

Disruption because of construction and remodeling. Major problem with keycard...many trips back to desk...only person at desk was very helpful and eventually reassigned us a different room which was very nice.

We selected this hotel for the airport shuttle specifically. However, no shuttle ever came. We called over and over and the call wouldn't even go through. We ended up calling a Lyft. Other people behind us at the check in desk said the same. However check in and room were fine.

Liked: Room comfort
The toilet and shower were dirty but the rest of the room was modern and clean. No one was at the front desk when I checked out. The lock on my door was in poor condition—it broke so I could not get into the room one night and it took a long time to fix while I waited in the hallway. The staff in the breakfast area worked hard and did a good job.
