The room was nice and clean. But some of the other guest hosted a raging party where they were screaming, shouting, throwing things. It went on all night and it felt unsafe. When I called the front desk they didn’t do anything about it.

The owners are very friendly; the house is outfitted well for guests to feel at home and interact with one another, so it can be a great place to meet new people. My room was clean, efficient and comfortable. I was glad to hear that breakfast included eggs and bread as well as fruit and a cereal option instead of the carb and sugar-heavy options that are often offered for a free breakfast. I'm from a rural area and was on my own, so I didn't feel comfortable walking around the neighborhood, but was glad the side street the guesthouse is on was quiet, so I wasn't kept awake with city noises.

The property is nice, but if you are mobility impaired, it wouldn't work. The entrance has steep steps and there is no elevator on the premises. The staff was very nice and helpful. The room was very clean with comfortable beds. The biggest downfall was the breakfast. It consisted of cold scrambled eggs and sausage. Luckily, there is a microwave available. The fruit was not fresh and the coffee was not hot. However, atmosphere was pleasant. Only on street parking available.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
My room was very nice and well cared for. I felt so at home that I actually got a full night of sleep - which is rare for me in an unfamiliar environment. Maria was lovely, as well. It was a joy to be checked in by her and she explained the details and layout of the showers and facilities expertly. Most importantly, perhaps, the location was perfect for me. Being right off Allen street, I got to explore Allentown in depth - one of the major reasons for my trip. I was also able to walk to the Buffalo Convention Center on Sunday morning. The accessibility to downtown was a surprise and is sure to make me a repeat customer. The only downside was I was really looking forward to having some scrambled eggs in the morning at the buffet - but there was ham in them. Obviously, I am not a vegan - but I am a vegetarian & I do love my eggs and veggie omelets. But that is a minor quibble. Overall, 10++!!! Brian

Nice new option in downtown Buffalo.

Friendly and helpful staff in an ideal location. It's a guest house, which is different than a hotel, but by those standards it was a great place.

You have a great location. Your advertising should let potential guests know that they will be sharing shower facilities. This property is comparable to a youth hostel.
