A Comfy and Friendly Home Away From Home

Buffalo Guesthouse was a perfect place for me as a solo woman. I needed a 'home' away from home for a night and this was it, although on first glance i was a tiny bit doubtful. I had neglected to follow all the directions so I didn't realize that my entry code was in my texts which I hadn't checked so be sure to check for that before you arrive. The hotel itself isn't fancy, but the care to the details of hospitality is first class. The staff is gracious and caring. I will definitely return when I need a 'home' for a night or two in Buffalo.

We were taken by surprise that there were only shared showers with a tiny sink and toilet in the room, and would not have booked had we known that. There is also only street parking. That being said, the staff were very friendly, the breakfast was homemade and delicious, and the communal dining setup allowed us to meet some interesting people.

We loved our stay! So cozy, and the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating. So clean and lovely. That bed was one of the most comfortable anywhere I’ve stayed. Walkable to cool restaurants and bars. The beautiful young lady at the front desk even helped with our bags. Unfortunately I left my medicine and the man made sure those meds were sent to our next stop! I would never stay anywhere else in Buffalo.

Location was great, calm and quiet. Staff was very welcoming and helpful. The rooms are in decent shape—clean and maintained—but they show their age. This can be seen by some as somewhat charming :)
