    I stayed at the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Buffalo/Amherst/University for 8 days and 7 nights. The weekend nights were a little loud with kids roaming the halls late into the night, but this is not uncommon at most hotels, and I have great earplugs for sleep. I did not have the breakfast once while I was there, so I cannot review it. The parking was great, and I was able to park very close to the hotel the entire week. The location of the hotel is great and central to shopping and dining, and even the airport. I had the room cleaned once while I was there and thought it was odd that they removed a few extra towels that I'd had and didn't replace them. I felt very safe in the location which was pretty much on campus. During the week, the halls were quiet. The staff at the registration desk were always friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay again.

    We booked a suite months prior and at check- in which was an hour after check- in started, we were told our room wasn’t ready. We could wait 30 minutes for them to clean it. The excuse was they had many check-outs that morning and hadn’t gotten to the suites yet.

    Loved the location being very close to University of Buffalo & The Station; as my trip was mainly to help my daughter settle in at her new campus and apartment. Loved the parking space, cleanliness and staff. Breakfast options were quite good but repetitive and monotonous. Also, they only clean once a week - bed and vaccum. However, you can request towel change, coffee, tissues and toilet supplies as needed.

Great value and will definitely stay again. 1 min drive away from Univ of Buffalo north campus which we were touring and close to highway etc. Short drive to stores / restaurants but that was fine. Breakfast was fine / quick type but worked well for us to grab / self serve type which we preferred over waiting for slow wait staff during rush. Breakfast included staples like oatmeal, cereal, yogurt, hard boiled eggs/ scrambled, waffles, sausage, toast/ English muffin, coffee/ tea, juice, etc.

    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.

    I have stayed at this hotel before, and the conditions weren't such as these. Because I secured the reservation through a third party vendor, they charge you a $20 incidental fee. I've had these waived before, but not this time. The hotel rep said he wouldn't charge my card just have it on file, but charged it anyway. The breakfast sucked, eggs were salty, bacon was like chewing on shoelaces, and the bagels were at least a day old and stale - I mean c'mon, is it a tragedy have a decent breakfast.

    - The front desk guy went so fast that he literally charged me TWICE in addition to the fact that I had paid in advance. - There is no phone number on the invoice for me to call Fairfield to fix this overcharge. - in the room, the curtains were broken - The TV movie streaming did not work. I spent 20 minutes with an overseas help desk and they could not help, said the hotel had to fix it. It was not fixed. - the shower was big, but full of MOLD. Gross! - the carpet was dirty. Gross! - air conditioner was very noisy when it turned on. - Noises from other rooms (I think upstairs) were SO loud. Pro: - the high-speed internet that I had to PAY for worked well. - I also liked the late check-out. - Bed was very comfortable

Housekeeping staff in plain clothes not in uniform!? I did not take advantage of breakfast because it ended at 9am- too early for me. 9:30 or 10:00 would be better!! Towels a bit thin. Surprised no one cleaned/ made beds daily. I know they don’t change linens daily but I expected garbage changed and beds to be made?? Refresh towels if needed.
