Clean and comfortable. We can in for a concert at Electric City and was a really easy walk there and to theater district. valet service was nice. Had to request a microwave which was odd but was in the room at check in. We arrived a bit early but room was ready so they let us check in. Hotel staff was very friendly and efficient. Just plan to eat elsewhere for dinner. We went down for dinner around 430 and there was not one worker in the restaurant. Two customers at the bar said they went to pick up food from kitchen and we waited for a good 10-15 min and still saw no one. We went to the gin pub across the street and were very pleased. Many places within a short walk to eat. We’d stay again but we’ll plan on eating elsewhere.

The website should say, "Buffalo Children's Museum of Science". It was geared around how kids would learn. Most of the interactive displays were trivia questions, some of them were broken, and what really irked me was that the 3D cinema "was down for the day". Of course, they didn't tell me that until I paid my admission fee. The observatory deck is only open for reservations. The website makes it look like the Smithsonian, but it's not. The rocket propulsion exhibit was down, ground radar exhibit was down, Buffalo in Space was not open, the whole fifth floor was cordoned off. There were some cool things that were available, but I was really excited to get there, driving 15 miles from my family's to get there, and to find so many things unavailable for full price was disappointing.

5/5 - Excellent
