Unbelievable Buffalo Deals! Best Western Inn & Suites (NY)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we’re diving HEADFIRST into the Unbelievable Buffalo Deals! Best Western Inn & Suites in… well, Buffalo, NY! And let me tell you, this isn't just your average hotel review – this is gonna be a rollercoaster ride of opinions, nitpicks, and maybe, just maybe, a little bit of actual helpful information. Consider this your pre-trip survival guide.
Let's Get Down to Brass Tacks (and Maybe Some Crumbs): Cleanliness & Safety Issues First!
Before we even think about the pool with a view (more on that later, trust me), we gotta talk about the whole safety thing. Yeah, the pandemic is still kicking around, like that weird guest who keeps showing up at your family gatherings. So, how does the Best Western handle it? Well, they say all the right things. "Anti-viral cleaning products," "Staff trained in safety protocols," "Rooms sanitized between stays." Sounds good, right? And you hope it's true. I’m a bit of a germaphobe, so I was immediately hunting for the hand sanitizer, which, praise the hotel gods, was everywhere. Little squirt bottles in the lobby, near the elevators… it was like a sanitizer fairy had sprinkled its magic dust.
The "professional-grade sanitizing services"? I can't exactly, like, verify that, but my room did smell clean… except for a faint whiff of… something. Like, an old book left on a shelf for a while. Not totally terrible, but not fresh fresh, if you catch my drift. It's a minor thing, really.
They also have a doctor/nurse on call, which is a comforting thought, even if you're not planning on needing them. And, thank goodness, there's a first aid kit. Because you just know stuff is gonna happen.
Pacing Issue: The "Things to Do" Conundrum (and My Lack of Planning)
Okay, things to do. This is where my review starts to get… messy. Because, frankly, I didn’t do much. I'm not a "planner." I like to wing it, which, in Buffalo, is a risky move. They do mention they have a fitness center, pool with a view, spa, and sauna. I didn't even glance in the direction of most of them. Look, I came to relax. And by "relax," I mean huddle inside with takeout. So, if you’re an active type, you might want to look into some actual activities near the hotel. I saw some listings for things like the Buffalo Zoo which is… you know… a zoo.
Double-Down on Dessert & Disappointment: No Spa, No Sauna, But a Restaurant?
Now, here's where things get interesting. The website and the description of the hotel boasted of a restaurant, bar, and possibly even a spa or sauna. This is where my expectations, and my hopes for relaxation, faced a full-frontal collision.
The restaurant? It had an "Asian breakfast," as well as buffet and "international cuisine." The bar? Open till late with a happy hour that would be, the most wonderful moment, after a long drive and no sleep. But I would soon discover the harsh truths.
Emotional reaction: As I walked to that bar I was full of anticipation, it was the thing I wanted most. The best of dreams, with music playing softly in the background. The moment I was inside, the door opened, it was dark, dim, the sort of bar that had seen too many good times. Then, there was the sad, sinking realization that…it was closed. The bar was closed. It was even more of a disappointment than a surprise.
Quirky observation: I think the hotel manager must have been having a laugh up there in his penthouse.
Food & Drink Fiasco (Mostly):
So, given the culinary shortcomings, let's talk about the other food options. Room service is, thankfully, available 24/7. But, if you can’t be bothered to walk the halls, you've got options.
The included Breakfast [buffet] was… buffet-y. Eggs that looked… well, questionable. Pre-packaged pastries. Coffee that tasted like… brown water with a hint of disappointment. But, hey, it was there. And I ate it, because I was hungry, and what else was I going to do?
Services & Conveniences (The Bits That Actually Matter):
Okay, so the food wasn't amazing. But what about the stuff that does make a hotel stay a good one?
- Internet access/Wi-Fi: YES! And FREE! "Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!" Woohoo! Worked great. Absolutely no complaints on the Wi-Fi front. Thank goodness.
- Air Conditioning: Essential in the summer in Buffalo. Worked like a charm.
- Laundry Service: Did not use, but nice to know it's there.
- Luggage Storage: Helpful.
- Elevator: Yay for elevators! I, for one, am not a fan of stairs.
- Daily housekeeping: A definite plus. Always nice to come back to a made bed.

Luxury Moscow Apartment: Hanaka Eletskaya 33 - Unbelievable Views!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups. This isn't your pristine, Instagram-ready itinerary. This is the REAL deal - me battling the elements, navigating the abyss of a Best Western in Buffalo, and generally trying not to lose my tiny mind while pretending to be a semi-competent traveler.
The Buffalo Blowout (and Mostly, Not-So-Blowout)
Day 1: Arrival…and the Quest for Wifi (The Eternal Struggle)
1:00 PM - Land of the Frozen Tundra (Buffalo Niagara International Airport): Okay, so, first hiccup. Delayed flight. Standard. I'm convinced the airline gods just enjoy torturing me. The first thing I did? Grab the bag, so ready to grab my car. The car rental felt like a slow-moving nightmare and took me forever.
2:30 PM - Best Western Buffalo Inn & Suites - Check-in & the Room Inspection: Ah, the sacred moment. The keycard. The room. The… carpet? Oh, god, the carpet. It's that peculiar shade of beige that seems to soak up all light and joy, even in broad daylight. I’m pretty sure whatever stain I see on the sofa is permanent, I hope the sheets are clean. I test the bed: surprisingly, it’s not a total concrete slab! Victory! But where's the wifi password? Ugh. The eternal quest begins. Ten minutes of trial and error later, I'm connected. Praise the gods.
3:00 PM - Snack Attack & the Search for Coffee: I need sustenance. Stat. The vending machine downstairs is a cruel temptress of sad-looking chips and vaguely suspicious candy. I grab a bag of something that looks slightly less depressing. Coffee? Is there coffee? This is important, people. I find the lobby coffee station. It is… passable. Like, the kind of coffee you drink because you need the caffeine, not because you enjoy it.
4:00 PM - The Great Niagara Falls Debate (and the Inevitable Tourist Stampede): Okay, so I thought I saw Niagara Falls for the first time, but when I booked this entire thing, I underestimated the traffic. I swear everyone in the Northeast decided to visit too. My GPS is screaming at me. I'm screaming at my GPS. Finally, finally, I get there. And… it's breathtaking. Seriously. The sheer power of the water is unbelievable. Okay, maybe I'm softening. I go for the Maid of the Mist tour, but it gets delayed for ages. This is where I start to question my life choices – also, I have a profound fear of enclosed spaces, and this boat feels very enclosed. Then, I had to rush through the gift shop.
7:00 PM - Dinner Disaster Avoided (Maybe): I heard a local diner recommendation. I went to this small diner. And, I was able to order a burger. It wasn’t the best burger I’d ever had, but it was warm. And, let’s face it, I was tired.
9:00 PM - Netflix & Chill…ish: Back at the hotel. I was exhausted. I had a shower, and plopped down in front of the TV. I couldn't even concentrate on anything. I turned the TV off, and fell asleep.
Day 2: Buffalo Adventures (and the Slow Descent into Hungover Happiness)
- 8:00 AM - The Breakfast Debacle: I drag myself down to the free breakfast. The usual suspects: dry cereal, lukewarm scrambled… things, and coffee that's somehow worse than yesterday's. I take a deep breath. This is what it is. I shovel in a waffle, and try to smile.
- 9:00 AM - The Buffalo Zoo. Oh, the Buffalo Zoo: I wasn’t sure about this one. But I read a review which said it was great. And, the review was right. The animals were pretty cool. Also, I spent way too much time watching the polar bears roll around.
- 11:30 AM - Buffalo Wings, the Real Deal: Okay, this is crucial. I'm a wing aficionado, and Buffalo is the birthplace of the holy grail. I went to the bar with the most buzz. I order wings, as many as the waitress told me to order. They were amazing. Absolutely, mind-blowingly amazing. Crispy skin, perfectly sauced, the blue cheese dipping sauce… I saw a little of heaven. I ate so many wings, I had to take a walk.
- 1:00 PM - More Buffalo. More Food. More wings. I needed to find somewhere. I decided to hit up a few other Buffalo classics.
- 4:00 PM - Beer Tasting and Regret: After all the food, I had to find something to drink. I went to a brewery and ordered a flight. I don’t remember much. But I did buy a growler to take home.
- 7:00 PM - Dinner in a Fog: I was hungry. I dragged myself to dinner and ordered something. I didn’t remember eating it. I was sad. I don’t know why.
- 9:00 PM - Bed: Passed out.
Day 3: Farewell, Buffalo (and the Lingering Wing Aftermath)
8:00 AM - Breakfast round two: I felt a lot better. Well, not that better, but better. I was able to eat some fruit. And some coffee.
9:00 AM - Goodbye, Buffalo: I had to walk around. And, then, I checked out of the hotel.
12:00 PM - Off to the airport.
The Emotional Aftermath: I’m going to admit it: I came to Buffalo a little cynical, and I left with a tiny bit of fondness. The people were nice, the wings were legendary, and… well, even the beige carpet had a certain charm by the end. Would I go back? Maybe. Probably. Eventually, I'll probably go back to Buffalo. I might even get myself a nice Buffalo shirt. No, I probably won't need to, not with all the souvenirs I bought.
Unbelievable Buffalo Deals! Best Western Inn & Suites (NY) - You Got Questions, I Got (Probably Wrong) Answers!
(Disclaimer: My memory's a goldfish, and I'm fueled by questionable coffee. So, like, double-check *everything*.)
Okay, So What *IS* This "Unbelievable Buffalo Deals" Thing? Sounds...promising.
Alright, settle in, because this is where things get… vague. Basically, it's like, a deal, right? At the Best Western Inn & Suites in Buffalo. Emphasis on the "Inn & Suites" part. Not the Ritz Carlton, you know? I remember *seeing* the ads. Big, bold text screaming "DEALS!" Like they're trying to shout you into a great rate or something. Probably involves, like, a reduced rate on rooms, maybe a free continental breakfast – which, let's be honest, is mostly sad muffins and watery coffee, but hey, it's *free*! The whole thing is meant to lure you to Buffalo, I guess. And that's pretty cool, I'm always up for some Buffalo wings.
Look, the specifics? Fuzzy. It's Buffalo, remember? Things are blurry already, between the snow and the fact that I'm pretty sure I left my brain somewhere near the Anchor Bar. But the gist? Deals. Deals on a place to sleep. Hopefully one that has heat. Ask the hotel.
Is it *actually* a good deal? Are we talking pennies on the dollar, or "slightly less than full price"?
Okay, now you're asking the *real* questions. This is where the coffee kicks in. "Good deal" is subjective, my friend. It depends on your expectations. I'd say it's like, a *decent* deal? Not like you'll be sleeping in a diamond-encrusted bed. Probably more like you get a cleanish room, maybe a pool (check the pictures!), and a place to park. Consider it a good deal if you are coming from a far destination, and don't want to pay too much for the hotel room.
My personal "deal barometer" is based on the following: 1) The current price compared to the average price of the best western in the area. 2) The size of room. 3) Free breakfast. 4) The free parking, or not. 5) Is there anything nearby that I can go to, that is walking distance from the hotel. If all of this is positive then it's a good deal.
My advice: shop around. Check other hotels in the area. Compare prices. Read the reviews. (People *love* complaining about everything, so take those with a grain of salt, but a consistent theme is a good indicator). And, if you're like me, and don't want to miss the wing-night, you'll be happy with a decent price.
What's the catch? There's *always* a catch.
The catch? Ah, the sweet, sweet catch. Let's see... Could be any number of things! Maybe it's limited availability, like, only certain dates. Maybe you have to book way in advance. Maybe they're trying to get rid of the rooms that are, shall we say, *less* desirable (facing the highway, anyone?). Oh! And I almost forgot! Usually, you're required to spend some time, sitting through a sales pitch for a timeshare, or something...
Or perhaps, and I'm just spitballing here, maybe the "Unbelievable Buffalo Deals" are only unbelievable *to Buffalo*. Everywhere else, the prices are pretty normal. I'm just saying. Read the fine print. Seriously. I can't stress this enough. Learn from my mistakes.
Is the hotel any good? I saw some reviews... mixed. That's putting it mildly.
Ugh, the reviews. The bane of my existence. Okay, let's be real. Best Westerns... they're a *consistent* experience. Not in a *great* way, necessarily. I've stayed at Best Westerns where you could bounce a quarter off the mattress, and others where the walls seemed to bleed sound, even when the hotel was empty. Every stay is a gamble.
This particular one in Buffalo? Well... look, it's Buffalo. It's not the Four Seasons. It's a place to rest your weary head after a long day of eating chicken wings and shivering in the cold. It probably has a bed. It *probably* has a functioning bathroom. The key is to manage your expectations and hope for the best. Check the recent reviews obsessively. Are there a lot of complaints about bedbugs? (shudder). If so, run. Run far, and run fast.
What's the proximity to the legendary Buffalo Wing scene? Because, you know... priorities.
Ah, yes. The *most* important question. Let me tell you a story... I was once in Buffalo, desperate for wings. I thought I was close. Turns out, I was *miles* away. It was a disaster. I ended up eating a sad burger. A SAD BURGER.
So, here's the deal. Check a map. Look at the hotel's location. Then, use a map app to search nearby restaurants. Use "Buffalo Wings" as your keyword. See how long it takes to get to the closest wing joint. Anything within a reasonable driving distance (15-20 minutes tops) is a win. And if it's *walking* distance? You've hit the jackpot. Bonus points if there's a "Wing Stop" nearby. That's my personal favorite.
I have dietary restrictions. What's the breakfast situation like? (Gluten-free? Vegan? Pray for me.)
Okay, this is where things get... challenging. Best Western breakfasts are... unpredictable. They *usually* have the basics: muffins, cereal, maybe some instant oatmeal. Fruit? Maybe. Eggs? Questionable. Bacon? You're probably getting the pre-cooked kind. The kind that's been sitting under a hot lamp for hours.
If you have *any* dietary restrictions, Call the hotel *first*. Don't rely on what they *say* on the website, because those images are probably from a different lifetime, or the marketing team is actively trying to bamboozle you with the best food photographer they could find. Prepare to bring your own food if you have strong restrictions. Or, you know, just hit up a nearby diner. Or, you know, just eat wings. Everything is better with wings, right? I mean, there's always those pesky vegan wings. Which are, in my opinion, not wings. Anyway... call and be proactive, or you may have to go hungry.
