Hotels Near Banter by Piercing Pagoda in Amherst

I was given an accessible room which worked out very well. I especially liked the table near my bed with ample electrical outlets. The thermostat was tricky but worked well and the heater was quiet. The WiFi was slow but adequate for my purpose. The mattress felt a little funny but I slept well. My only disappointment was being unable to watch the Yankee Astros game on the TV (on a cable channel not part of their system).

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.

The location of the hotel is excellent, but the breakfast is quite uncomfortable. The location is very close to the University of Buffalo. The commercial facilities near the hotel are complete, making it easy to shop and buy food.

Homewood Suites by Hilton Buffalo-Amherst is conveniently located on Millersport Highway near Interstates 290 and 90 (New York State Thruway). This five-floor hotel is just one mile from Buffalo Niagara International Airport and a few miles from University of Buffalo. Complimentary breakfast available with good quality fare but with limited selection. No on-site restaurant. Several dining establishments are near the hotel but not within walking distance. Boulevard Mall and Galleria Mall are located a few miles from the hotel. Staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Main lobby and corridors had dry mud on the floors at the time of my stay. Hallway floors also had several discarded beverage creamer containers laying about. Guest suite kitchen featured crumbs and food debris on the cabinetry floors including one discarded green Jolly Rancher hard candy at the time of my stay. Several dishes and utensils were present in the dishwasher were dirty from prior use. With the exception of oven, full kitchen available in guest suites. Limited amenities available in the guest suite kitchen (no kitchen sponge, dishwashing soap). The guest suite window curtains featured several dark, brown stains. Guest room bedroom included a spider web located on the ceiling above the television and the bedroom pillows smelled of canine odor. A shriveled contact lens was present on the guest bathroom sink counter. The guest bathroom tub was quick to fill as the drain was notably slow. Overall, the guest room was comfortable but furnishings were worn and dated. Guest bathroom sink and vanity are located in bedroom suite, separate from shower stall and toilet. Fitness center located in the center of the complex is clean and has basic yet modern equipment. Indoor swimming pool available but did not use at the time of my stay. Courtyard ”Sport Court” has a half-court basketball area. Ample parking available. Traffic noise from busy Millersport Highway and exit ramps from Interstate 290 is prevalent on sides proximal to the respective roads. Overall okay experience however I would consider another hotel when visiting the Buffalo Amherst area in the future.

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.

Two nights. Pretty busy place. No real issues with the hotel, but previously used soap in the shower. However, that was the only room issue. Guests were all appropriate as encountered and no issues with late night noise. A good location for access to I290 and several restaurants and grocery stores. Biggest complaint is they said my choicehotels membership did not afford any discount. But was later told if I booked through the choice hotels website (I made it directly with desk staff) - I I would have likely had a discount.

The room is OK, the breakfast is very simple, there is no problem with eating, the front desk has always had coffee and tea and hot water. There is nothing around, but there is a Chinese restaurant not far from the car that is delicious.

Cost-effective. .

We stayed at the Hyatt Place Buffalo/Amherst for one night while we attended a wedding across the street. The hotel was lovely and clean with a beautiful and welcoming firepit, plenty of convenient parking, a nice workstation area, and very large rooms with super comfortable beds! The staff was friendly, the halls and surrounding areas were nice and quiet, and we greatly enjoyed our stay.
