When checking in the gentleman at the front desk had zero personality and was very short with us. When we got into our room our AC was making a very loud noise when we investigated it there was Raman/ noodles in it. We tried to get ice but all the machines were broken, the pool was green and the hottub was broken.

No wifi, no pool, no fridge

I got stranded due to a snow storm so chose to stay at this hotel because of the pool/hot tub, the availability of a fridge to store the food I had with me, and for a desk for working. As I checked in they said the pool/hot tub were out of use - though I could use the one at the hotel across the street (in a snowstorm?) I couldn't connect to the wifi and was given a helpline number to call myself - spent 45 minutes getting connected. Then when checking out the next day opened up the fridge to remove my food to discover that it wasn't actually running - and my food was spoiled. The front desk said they couldn't give me any kind of refund because I had booked through a third party site - but offered me membership points (though I'm not a member and this experience wasn't exactly an advertisement for signing up). Disappointing on many levels

We were in town for a Buffalo Bills game. It was very snowy and the parking lot was well plowed. My only issue was the TV didn't have the channels correspond to the guide. I was unable to locate local news r Spectrum YNN. Kind of a quirky problem with the service. Otherwise, my stay was very enjoyable.

The hotel was clean and kept up well. The location was perfect for our needs. The breakfast was convenient, but inconsistent in quality. Unfortunately, the pool was not available, which is something we were relying on to occupy the kids and the room HVAC system is terrible. We had to leave one room because it broke and the other room was difficult to keep a consistent temp.
