Red Roof Inn

Quick checkin — very friendly service. Rooms was clean and fresh. True Non-​smoking. A must stay for your Buffalo — Niagara Falls visit. Very Central location.
3 thumbs up!

Comfortable room. My only complain is that I found two spiders in the bathroom. Over all really nice room and like i said before very comfortable.

It was inexpensive and in a good location. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. Both checkin and checkout were quick and efficient. Will stay again when in the area.

Very nice Inn and great price in safe Amherst NY. Very clean updated rooms and two restaurants in walking distance. Easy drive to downtown Buffalo or Niagara Falls.

Highly recommend this place. Clean, great price, free wifi, good location in Amherst, easy access to major highways. Will definitely return when I’m in Buffalo.

Customers be aware. They CHARGE WRONG AMOUNT ON YOUR CR CARD. Definitely check your bank statement. They charged me $ 200 more than the bill.

Clean rooms, great rates. You can save a bit more too if you are a CAA/​AAA member.
Free Wi-​fi is great too.
This is our go-​to place for football weekends in Buffalo — close to the highway and not far from shopping centers + pubs.

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much. It’s a regular American-​style motel, with rooms lined up one after another on a pair of long two-​storey buildings. But apparently, sometime during the two years I haven’t been to Buffalo, they changed this Red Roof Inn to a Red Roof Inn Plus.
The Plus part was evident. The bedroom area was definitely quite plus-​like. There were lots of towels, the AC was functioning properly, the sheets were swanky. I guess the only non-​plus-​like area of the room was the bathroom, as the facilities looked like it was forgotten to be upgraded. In short, the ambiance of the bedroom and the bathroom were not the same, the bathroom looked like something I would expect in a regular drive-​in motel, while the bedroom looked a little more swanky than that.
One plus point this hotel has was its close proximity to the university, so when I had some business to do in town, I stayed here, and it was quite convenient.

I do admit red roof had done some major remodeling however I walked in the room and immediately was ready to leave.
The lighting was not the best and the I just happened to rake a look in the shower and it was dirty and spider webs were hanging from my bed ceiling and the room was rather small

Not your typical Red Roof (unless maybe Red Roof has gone through a massive makeover and I missed it). Rooms are recently updated and look/​fee like a mini-​W. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again if traveling through the area.

Stayed there for one night on a drive cross-​country. I would definitely stay there again! The room was very clean, and in great shape. I was traveling with a pet, and the pet-​friendly rooms are often a little run-​down. That was not the case here.
There was a nice big swath of green lawn behind and beside the hotel, so it was easy to get my pup outside and let us both stretch our legs.
They are under new management, and the management was very keen to build a good reputation. Everyone on staff at the front desk was courteous, friendly, and eager to give me a good stay.
The continental breakfast room was large, and the free coffee was delicious!

Not to sound snobby, but… I do not typically stay at motels; I feel a lot safer in hotels. With that being said, I felt fine booking this place after the positive reviews (I knew that the area was in a safe area). My mother and I ended up in a handicap room (very accommodating, if needed). The bed was comfortable. This hotel is a good value. PS — try the hotel soap (my mother was OBSESSED with it).

My daughter and I stayed here for one night to do a couple of college visits. The location was convenient to the first college. I usually don’t frequent the budget hotels for two reasons.
1. Traveling with a family of four would require two rooms and that was not feasible when the kids were younger.
2. Rooms are usually very small and usually cleanliness is lacking.
Since this was one night for the two of us, as long as the rooms were clean the other stuff was secondary. I had trouble finding out where to check in and made a loop around the hotel before we found it right next to the entrance to the parking lot. DUH! Still, it could have been marked better. Upon arriving at the room, I was amazed at the cleanliness of the room. This room was cleaner than other more expensive hotels we have used in the past. Everything in the room worked, but we didn’t expect that there wouldn’t be a hair dryer. That was a minor inconvenience since air-​dry was a viable option for the two of us.
I would not hesitate to stay there again.

In fairness, I’m comparing this to the Microtel we just left a couple blocks away. That place was a Dump! Nice new rooms for less money.

Just what I wanted. Stayed 3 nights and was happy. Good price, friendly desk clerks, clean room, comfy bed, good wi-​fi, HBO. An easy drive to my conference in downtown Buffalo.
As the previous reviewer said, it’s basic: no breakfast, no fridge, microwave, coffee-​maker, hair dryer, etc. But they had a room for me just after noon, and let me check into it right away, since it was available — I didn’t have to wait in my car for hours, as I’d feared!
Good:
— Amazingly quiet and effective heating & cooling.
— Amazingly hot water in shower (be careful!).
— Tasteful, pleasant room décor.
— Curtains that close all the way.
— Nice desk space with comfortable desk chair.
— About as smoker-​friendly as it gets these days — rooms open onto covered walkway or balcony that protects you from the elements. No walking through hallways.
— Free coffee always available in office — nothing special, but it’s there.
Not-​so-​good:
— A bit hard to find, for out-​of-​towner without GPS, hidden behind other big hotel.
— Lighting not great, since they put in the curly bulbs.
— No channel guide for TV.
— TV returns to pay-​per-​view channel, not the channel you watched last, every time it’s turned on.
— Very limited number of parking spaces near rooms or stairs to rooms (but I lucked out every time, so it wasn’t a problem for me).
My room had something I’d never seen before: a sink mounted on top of, rather than sunken into, the countertop. It looked fine, and wasn’t too high for me, even though I’m a very short person, but small children would need a stool or chair — and the only chair in the room was the rotating, reclining desk chair, not the best thing to stand on.
There happened to be some noisy guests near my room who disturbed me by yelling to one another right outside my window, every now and then. But through the walls of my room, I heard nothing.

I really liked my stay here. For the price that I got it for from Priceline, it was well worth it. I paid $ 74 for two days and one night stay (taxes included) for a basic room with two full size bed.
THE GOOD:
— 7 miles from the BUF airport.
— about 25 miles from the Niagara Falls (it is not bad of a drive at all since it is next to the highway, and I didn’t encounter any traffic at all whatsoever. I didn’t find the «cute little town» that everyone from Tripadvisor was talking about.
— front desk at night and evening shifts were both nice and accommodating.
— There are other hotels around and the area is actually pretty safe. Try not to get a room on the back part of the hotel since a lot of big rig trucker guys park there… unless you’re a big rig trucker yourself, then there’s no need to feel intimidated by them right?
HELPFUL HINTS:
— Check in at 3pm, check out at 12pm.
— The basic room IS very basic. No blow dryer, no microwave, no refrigerator. It is literally: bed, TV, bathroom, and AC. You can borrow a blow dryer from the front office, and so is the coffee. So try to get your room close to the office if your’e a coffee person and bring your own cup since theirs are small. No fridge but there is an ice machine next door from the office. The only thing is it is small and by the time we got to it the next day, it was empty. I imagine a lot of people fill their coolers with ice at check out and that’s what we tried to do, but like I said, it was empty by the time we got to it. Check out and check in were fast and easy. No wait time, and at check out, we simply left our keys inside and locked the doors.
THE BAD:
— If you’re into the whole nice view and upscale accommodations, this is not the place for you. The location doesn’t offer any nice views at all.
— As far as restaurants, there are few here and there but we didn’t eat fancy. Our stay was short so we found a McDonald’s and a Burger King within a 2 mile radius. I remember seeing an IHOP, Denny’s, a couple of Pizza parlors here and there … I’m sure front desk can help you more. So no fancy dining around here.
Let’s wrap this up: Price is fair, location is fair, and our experience was good. No fireworks or anything like that but it was a roof above our head and allowed us to have a good night sleep so that we can enjoy our trip. There are a couple of nicer hotels next to this joint, but I’m sure they are also more expensive.

Clean hotel, reasonable rates, close to highway.
Stayed here as an overnight stop on a long drive. The king room wasn’t gigantic, but it was clean, fairly recently renovated, and fine. A/​C worked well. Sink area was spacious and located outside the bathroom. The actual bathroom itself was tiny, but fine and very clean.
This location is a few minutes away from a huge Wegman’s, so if you need to eat or stock up, I recommend going there.
