We couldn't find a hotel room at any of the other hotels we normally stay at. We ended up getting a room at Red Roof Plus on the University of Buffalo Campus, Amherst, NY. There are 2 buildings and we were in the far one. We had a ground floor room so were able to park right in front of our room instead of lugging things up the stairs (no elevators). Our room was very clean, neat, hardwood floors, fridge, microwave, coffee maker, hair dryer, iron and ironing board. A big flatscreen TV. Beds were comfortable and clean. 3 good pillows on each of the two queen beds.Towels appeared to be almost new. Hotel was very quiet. Shopping on Transit Road (Kohl's, Steinmart, Bon-Ton and Super Wal-Mart) , shopping on Niagara Falls Boulevard (Boulevard Mall, Christmas Tree Shops, and another Kohl's) and shopping at the Walden Galleria Mall were all within 8-10 kms from the Hotel. Very convenient if you have a car.
The only complaint was that the hotel room rates were put up very high just because it was a Canadian holiday weekend.
