Very nice hotel with fun contemporary decor. Bright colored paintings,cool lighting and nice wood floors. Beds were comfortable and rooms were clean. Service was excellent; we walked in and asked for a room and the desk clerk did not hesitate to match the price I saw on Orbitz when mentioned by me. Did not get a chance to use the pool, etc. but looked very nice.

its just goes to show what some paint and good designers can do. The owners of hotel indigo have succeeded in taking what is basically your typical Hampton inn box and turning it into a great little boutique hotel.

The smallish lobby is nicely decorated in bright blues and yellows. In addition to the front desk, you there is also a small business center, a small lobby bar and a Starbucks. Check on was smooth and efficient.

The room was a very nice surprise. Nicely decorated in blues and whites with a grassy mural on the far wall. There was a 36'' flatscreen however there we no inroom movies. The ice bucket and glasses were nicely presented on a tray at the corner of the first of two high double beds. A stand up shower (with plenty of room foe two) takes the place of the tub. Shampoo ,soap, conditioner and floormat were nicely presented on a small teak chair that can be used in the shower but otherwise just gets in the way. Guests that want a good soak can have just that In thevspscious pool and hot tub on the first floor.

Food choices within walking distance Is limited. I saw a Houlihans at the nearby Marriott but that's all I saw. However the north campus of the University of Buffalo is just up the street so I am sure there are more close by.

Location is excellent. Niagara falls is about 13 miles away. The galleria mall is maybe 10 min. Downtown buffalo maybe 15 min

I booked thru hotwire and paid just $79 so I was thrilled but this hotel is a great value st even higher rates

Its definitely worth a try. You will not be disappointed

Really enjoyed this hotel --- it represents the new standard that even chain hotels should be fun, and they've done a good job with it. I had a few complaints -- bathroom wasn't exceedingly clean (long hair and dust in the corners), bed was too soft for my liking, and the doors close really loudly disturbing sleepers. But these complaints wouldn't keep me from staying there again, indeed it would be my hotel of choice in the area.

Also, it's a great location close to 290 and 90 -- and in an area with shopping, restaurants, etc. If someone is driving through Buffalo, this would be a good place to stop. Maybe 10 minutes from I-90.

Visually, this is a very appealing hotel. The lobby/bar/checkin are very updated. There are some funky adriondak type chairs in the bar area that I would love to have at home.

Checkin and Checkout were speedy and pleasant.

The rooms are nicely appointed with "fake" hardwood floors and tile. No carpet -- which I liked (at first). The room is full of nice shades of blue. Also, the room was very clean.

The bed was wonderful. Very comfortable and liked the bedding.

The pool area (we did not use it) looked nice and was a nice size for the hotel.

Overall, a nice looking hotel. But, not a usable hotel. It is as if whoever designed the rooms, never stayed in them. On first glance the non-carpet floors are nice. That is until you get someone in the room above yours with high heels or with the running feet of a toddler. Then, that is all you hear . . . feet going back and forth on the floor above.

Another sound issue had to do with what I am guessing is the thickness of the walls. I'm not trying to disgust anyone . . . but you could actually hear someone going to the bathroom in another room! I kid you not!!!! And, when they took a shower in the room above us, we could hear every drop of it.

The rooms have nice wooden doors -- nice looking, but not practical. All night long we heard people slamming doors. The were not easy to close because of the tight fit, so it turned into a regular slam fest!

Over all, I don't think I would stay at this hotel for more than a night. While I really like the look of it, I can't see getting a good nights sleep there. It is just too noisy!

When I first walked in to the hotel, I would have given it a rating of 4 or 5 . . . but because of the lack of sound proofing, I have to give it a 3.
