Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was truly enjoyable. The rooms were beautifully designed, though my kids' bedroom had slightly dated tile. The living space with windows offered a lovely touch. Service was exceptional, and the staff really made my sister and me feel welcomed, even offering to pick me up from the airport. However, the paid private parking was a bit pricey. The location couldn't have been better, right in downtown Buffalo NY, with easy access to various activities and directly across from the metro rail. Dining at the Garden Grille & Bar was a pleasant experience, although I expected complimentary breakfast as a Hilton Honors Gold member. Overall, a great stay with a few minor drawbacks.
I had a wonderful stay at the Hilton Garden Inn. The rooms were spacious and well-stocked, offering a separate living area with a pull-out couch. It was clean, comfortable, and quiet, making my stay truly pleasant. However, the area isn't the greatest and it can get very busy.
The hotel is ideally situated downtown, overlooking a picturesque park and city hall, making it convenient to explore the city. The rooms are spacious and well-kept, featuring a separate living area with a pull-out couch, though the initial wait for room availability was a downside. The service was attentive, with valet parking available for a fee. The dining options were varied, especially for HH Gold members. Being right across from a Rite Aid and Tim Hortons added to the convenience. A retail infusion could enhance the overall experience.
The hotel is in a prime downtown location with stunning views of the city. The rooms are spacious, beautiful, and almost like a suite with two TVs, a cozy divano, and a desk, making for a comfortable stay. The service is welcoming and very responsive, especially Paeson, who goes above and beyond to assist guests. However, the dining experience was slow and lacking in variety, and some staff members seemed annoyed at times. The location, though, is perfect for exploring downtown Buffalo, with easy access to key attractions and even the Sabres game arena.
The hotel is perfectly situated downtown, providing a great view of city hall and a quiet environment. The rooms are spacious, quiet, and boast comfortable bedding, along with convenient amenities like a microwave, coffee maker, and mini-fridge. The service is exceptional, with staff members being incredibly helpful and friendly, offering a range of thoughtful gestures like organizing taxis and providing complimentary snacks. The location couldn't be better, especially for business in Buffalo, right next to a charming park and easy access to restaurants and attractions. However, the breakfast buffet, while good, might be a bit repetitive, and the dining options could be more varied. Pricing is reasonable overall, offering good value for the quality received.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were comfortable and well-equipped, although a bit dated in some areas. The service was friendly and helpful from the front desk to the restaurant. The location was convenient, within walking distance of various attractions. The dining options were satisfactory, although with room for improvement. The facilities provided were adequate for a comfortable stay.
