Always have a wonderful stay, the staff is really nice and try hard to make things wonderful. This is a older hotel and with that comes lots of character. They are slowly renovating rooms so be patient with them. Small town with a cute hotel.

Disgusting
This hotel is absolutely terrible. Completely rundown. The safety is dangerous. There is nobody working the front desk because there’s nobody staying at this hotel. They prop the door open in the front so the two guests that we’re staying there can get in at night. This must be a monthly rental it appears that people live there. I am absolutely disgusted. We ended up leaving because of the safety of the property.

The staff were amazingly friendly and catered to our needs! The rooms were very spacious and the bonus being a nice swimming pool especially in the summer heat, would definitely recommend buffalo lodge for tourists passing through and residents wanting some nice time off!

I’d stay there again
We went for 51st anniversary. It was a great trip. They do not have an elevator. So if you need first floor accommodations, you need to let them know upfront. People that work there were amazing. Breakfast was good and the room was very clean.

The Buffalo Lodge made me feel like family! From the front desk, to breakfast, to checkout (and everything in between) they were friendly, and their service was impeccable.
I will stay at this hotel every time Im in Buffalo!

I wasn’t interested in swimming on my visit: however, to have an indoor pool that is only open during the summer because it is not heated is ridiculous! Lots of people, esp with kids, would benefit from the use of the pool year around. What a waste of it’s potential function and value.

Fine but not very secure
Security is a problem. We called ahead to let them know we’d be checking in after hours and were given a code for a lock box in which we would find our key. What was in our lock box instead was the master key, meant for the front desk girl the next morning. Our room keys were in the other lock box. Oops. Good thing we weren’t thieves or worse. Mistakes happen, but considering the outer entrance wasn’t even locked, the slide lock in our room had been busted in and never repaired, and our window screen looked like it had been pried open at some point and never repaired, I think security just isn’t a priority at this property. Just be aware.
