Pro: Close to the university, a short walk away from the university shuttle bus stop. Convenient for people visiting the university for a short time. The hotel covers the taxi fare to/from the airport. Con: The bed was too soft. It was the worst bed I've ever seen...

My husband and needed to be at the Buffalo VA early one morning this week. We live 2 hours away so we decided to go up the day before. We stayed at the University Comfort Inn which was only 3 miles away. We used the senior rate so the price was great. Upon arrival we were given a gift bag... More

If you ever get the hankering (and I know we all do) to do a little cross border shopping, you may need a place to stay the night. One such establishment, which seems perfect for the cause is the Comfort Inn in Amherst. It is about 8 minutes from Cheektowaga’s Galleria Mall and about 20 minutes form Niagara’s Outlet Mall....

We have stayed at this hotel quite a number of times and keep going back as it is a decent price which includes a complimentary breakfast. The location is close to shopping, restaurants and the highways. From the front desk staff to the cleaning staff, the atmosphere is always friendly, cheerful and polite.

Nice hotel and great breakfast, I am gluten-free and ate eggs and bacon on the free breakfast. When I checked in, I received a bag that had microwave popcorn and a granola bar. I got there late due to storms and the rental car place had closed but they had a contract with taxis to take from the airport to... More

We have stayed at the Comfort Inn University on several occasions, and have always been pleased with our accommodations and the service provided. The welcome at reception has always been warm and friendly, with our reservation properly in order. The rooms are a bit on the small side, but very comfortably furnished. The king-size beds are firm with excellent support,... More

I searched for a hotel near the Buffalo Airport to do a park and fly. We had an early morning flight to Savannah and wanted to be able to stay overnight. I found the Comfort Inn and made a reservation. Sadly, I didnt get the name of the clerk that I spoke to on the phone. She was very helpful.... More

I recently took a business trip to the Amherst. I knew I wasnt staying at a $200 a night hotel but the rooms where clean, the hotel was fresh and the pool was open late for alittle swim. Much better than I expected from a Comfort Inn.
