First night - the entire light system kept coming on about every 40 minutes. Very disturbing to try to sleep when the room lights up all frequently all night. When I reported this to front desk in the morning, I was met with an “oh ya that happens, may need to reset the breaker! Question- why hasn’t it been fixed. Buffalo’s “Only 5 Star” hotel is more like a 3 star.

I booked the hotel for a trip for my parents. Although I didn't tag along, I felt like I went on the trip with them because they couldn't stop raving about it on the phone in detail as soon as they arrived. The staff, the shower, the lobby, the spa...thank you for the great experience.
