The room was set to 60 degrees in the middle of December. We had to sleep in clothes to stay warm. The towels and the shower curtain had stains on them. The whole place is dated and worn. Not really what you expect from Marriot. Would not reccomend this location.

Nice place. New and clean. Only complaint, which is not the hotel's fault is the youth hockey teams that were visiting Buffalo and staying there for a tournament. No discipline by children and little to no supervision as they ran up and down the hall outside my room. This is on the parents, showing them to behave that way. It ended around 9pm, which was the time i gave myself to tolerate the noise before i called the front desk. The front desk clerk was very nice and helpful. Will definitely stay again.

Staff was courteous. Room was tidy but the garbage wasnt thrown out from the previous occupants, so we had to go tell the front desk. Also the wall was peeling on one side of the bed. Other than that, everything was ok

When making the reservation, I did not notice that the rooms do not have a microwave oven. For us, it is a necessity. In the future, we will have to look for other options.

Disliked: Staff & service
After the first night I looked at my account to make sure the charges were right and there are about $1000 in extra charges. 3 charges for $300 1 charge for $1 and 1 charge for $150. The manager said that the person who checked us in messed up and that they are only holds but that hold doesn't let me use the money for things I planned to do on the trip. So driving 7.5 hours to come have some fun ended up being driving 7.5 hours to stay in a hotel and go home.
