“Once a family favorite, recent reports suggest a concerning decline in upkeep and service, a stark contrast to its pre-pandemic reputation. While the location near the University at Buffalo and Interstate 290 remains convenient, potential guests should weigh this against reported maintenance issues. Free parking and pet-friendly policies are still in place, but might not compensate for reported lapses in room quality.”
