Rating: 5/5 Stars "Such a charming and cozy place to stay! The Buffalo Guest House has so much character and felt like a true home away from home. ​Cleanliness: Immaculate throughout the entire property. ​Atmosphere: Quiet, relaxing, and beautifully decorated. ​Location: Tucked away in a great neighborhood but still close to all the main attractions. ​If you want a unique and comfortable alternative to a standard hotel, look no further!"

So this place is definitely nice if you are by yourself and need a place for overnight. The room had everything you needed like a fridge, smart tv, and an attached bathroom. The free breakfast was very good and there were a lot of options like eggs sausage some cereal was available as well as coffee and some pastries as well. Common areas were nice and clean and if you stay for longer than a day there’s even a small spa outside and a really nice outside space to hang out and just chill. The area is nice and there’s plenty of things to do. Definitely would go back if I ever need to stay in Buffalo again.

Wes's guest house was a great place to stay. The rooms are small but comfortable. The concept, however, is to spend your downtime in the common areas (they even provide robes and slippers). Many board games, and there are several clusters of comfortable seating areas offering different degrees of privacy. Nice breakfast provided daily, and the back yard with ginormous hot tub is not to be missed. Wes is fun to chat with and has good tips for exploring the city and its history. All other staff members were very kind and welcoming.
