B/W Buffalo Inn & Suites

This is an average hotel, minimalist in terms of furniture in rooms and in common area. Not many cars in parking lot on a Thursday night in July at 8 PM. A number of better known motels adjacent and nearby. Hard to guess when this was built but….big note for all: there is NO SIGN on the road that we could see that said EVA Hotel. None. You must input the address into your phone or iPad and then you can find. The Only sign out front is “Best Western” who apparently bought out this place…at an unknown time. So, if you book, input address into your phone and then LOOK for Best Western sign. Some odd things. When I asked the desk attendant why no sign saying “EVA” or equivalent. She said it was now a Best Western. So…why is it still listed as EVA? Unknown. Also, the bathroom appears to have had a significant positive change for the shower. Three bottles of shampoo, etc. plus a rain show head and a normal shower head. Also shows new caulking at the front bottom edge of the entire shower on the floor. With no real data, I suspect that this nice shower was put in fairly recently. Last comment: due to the drive that we make from home to the place we spend some time every summer, this location (near the Buffalo airport) is the best place to stop as we travel East. Just about all the motels we found in this area are overpriced. Period. So, if you have to stay, suggest you manage your expectations as to what you pay and what you get. Doubt we'll stay here again…or even in this area near the Buffalo airport. Will try fifty miles more to the East most like along I-90.

When we travel, we most often book rooms with Best Western (BW) of Hilton due to the quality of the rooms. When we booked BW Buffalo Inn & Suites we thought that we were booking a room that is of BW quality, we soon found out that we made a huge mistake. We booked one of the so-called handicap suites, unfortunately this room was dirty with human hair all over the bathroom floor. The mini refrigerator was not working due to the cooling element frozen over. The mini refrigerator was grudgingly replaced shortly after the issue was brough to the attention of the front desk attendant, the front door attendant initially showed a passive aggressive attitude towards my concerns regarding the refrigerator issue, I had to explain in extreme detail as to the what the problem was with the mini refrigerator. Be aware that this location does have a microwave, however it is one small microwave to be shared by the entire building. The mini microwave oven was dirty with dried rice inside and all around it, it is placed near the front desk in a clothing closet size room. I mentioned that the microwave oven was dirty and asked the front desk clerk when it was last cleaned and how often it was cleaned, she responded with a smile "daily", I stated maybe it should be cleaned numerous times a day since the entire hotel has to use one microwave oven. I mentioned that not having a microwave oven in a BW room was uncommon, she said "Hotel 6, and other such hotels don't have microwave ovens in the room" I stated, I wouldn't expect a BW hotel to be similar to the Hotel 6, I would expect much better. Just because it has the BW logo doesn't mean anything when the hotel is dirty.

This was a last minute reservation on a solar eclipse trip. Extreme price gouging - but same as every where else. It's located at n the edge of large open area filled with other (more modern looking) chain hotels close to the airport. Not much to look at from outside, except plenty of free parking. Inside, it's clean and modern. The rooms are small, but updated, including the bathroom. Carpet is clean and bed lines look good. The beds are very comfortable. Great showers with very good pressure and rain shower heads. Breakfast was very good - bread product, waffles, cooked food (including bacon) and best of all a self service automatic espresso machine (I have never before seen this in a US hotel/motel). I would have given it 5 stars were it not for the very strong perfume scent that permeated the whole building (makes me wonder what odor they are trying to cover up!) which gave me a bad taste and made me cough at night. However, this may have just been a personal allergy?
