The issue we have is, we booked this property for the pool, and searched for properties with this filter applied, when we arrived with our 3 kids, we found out the pool was being renovated. The manager offered to refund the room, but we’d have to leave, not ideal for a family to find another hotel at 5pm.

23.00 a night is very high and access to good parking sucks. Disappointing website didn’t say pet fee and the amount for breakfast was wrong , not 11.00 but 14.00 a person. Plus website Didnot say they do not take cash. I understand they try to prevent theft but we still live in the USA and they won’t take USA Cash currency- so wrong!

Very comfortable! and dog friendly! We arrived at 10 pm and were greeted by a kind front desk gentleman who was efficient and pleasant. Our room was huge with excellent beds. Thank you! We also really liked the choices of restaurants, bars, and coffee shops downtown.

I wanted to take a moment to share feedback regarding my recent stay at your downtown Buffalo location. While I had initially considered posting a photo to social media, I decided it would be more constructive to reach out directly. Upon exiting our room (1212), we were immediately met with a large, unsightly stain on the carpet—a detail that left a poor first impression. Additionally, the front desk staff member who checked us in was neither welcoming nor courteous, which further impacted the quality of our stay. As loyal Hilton guests, we expect a higher standard of hospitality and cleanliness, consistent with the brand’s reputation. This trip was particularly meaningful for our family, as we were visiting Buffalo to help our only child begin their first year at Buffalo State University. We anticipate making many trips to the area over the coming year. Unfortunately, based on this experience, Hilton Downtown Buffalo will not be our preferred choice for future visits. I hope this feedback helps identify areas for improvement. Thank you for your time and attention. Sincerely, Andrea Samuels Johnson
