Hotels near Buckhorn Island State Park in Grand Island

New and modern hotel. No other business close by but easy drive to tourist destinations of Niagara Falls. Friendly housekeeping staff and lady who operates the breakfast. Breakfast good but this location did not have the cinnamon rolls that other Holiday Inn Express provide. The lady working there kept everything well stocked and very clean. Front desk personal are not very helpful as at other tourist destinations. I didnt use the indoor pool since the water felt a bit cool and there were no guest towels. I probably would stay again because of the price.

Very nice hotel in Niagara Falls. Exceptional service by Bill (bartender), Sarah at check-in desk, and Tina, our server at dinner. The room was spacious, bed & linens very nice and comfortable. We loved having a couch and ottoman for extra space. Plenty of parking also, but cost $15 a day which seemed an unreasonable extra charge considering our two night stay was $525. Unlike the Hampton Inn next door, breakfast is not included, thus also extra cost and time required. Hotel is not by a highway, so no traffic noise which was nice. Tip: you have to request housekeeping service as it is not automatically done.

The hotel environment is very good, breakfast is also quite good, 10 minutes drive from the Great Falls, quite convenient, the price near the waterfall is very high, it feels unnecessary. It was the self-driving car that went wrong and almost went to Canada.

We stayed at The Sleep Inn Buffalo Amherst on September 14/15th (one night) 2022 in Room 514. First impression of the place pretty clean and inviting though a little dark and slightly outdated. The receptionist, Melanie, was outstanding, super friendly and followed through with all our requests. She made our stay exceptional! As far as the room - adequate. There are a few MINOR maintenance and housekeeping issues that should be addressed to make the room better: 1. The bathroom toilet paper dispenser had used up roll of paper on it with only one use remaining! It had the customary “v” fold so I know housekeeping saw it but let it fly. See photo below. 2. Speaking of “fly” there was a fly buzzing around in the room when we first entered. Very annoying. Had to swat it. 3. The bathroom light (not the shower) works but intermittently. It takes a few tries to get it to come on. Probably the switch needs replaced. 4. The bathroom door does not lock from inside. Needs slight adjustment. 5. The shower head pipe coming from the wall has a cover plate that will not stay in place and slides out from the wall and falls on the shower head. 6. At the bottom of the shower door, inside and outside, there is an ugly buildup of mold/mildew. Needs cleaned better. 7. The room has a slight mildew odor and smells like feet. Maybe it needs a good shampooing. Overall, a pleasant stay. The breakfast, on Sept 15, was much better than we expected. Plenty of everything to make for a great breakfast. The dining area employee (did not catch her name, from Cambodia) was super nice and friendly and talked to us at length and asked us how our stay was; which was overall great!

Would be 5 star rating except for the beds, which are the newer style (possibly a hybrid?) and very very very soft, to the point they are hard to get out of and feel hot. Okay for sleeping, but to sit on and watch a movie etc, you just sink deeper and deeper into the foam. They were Beautyrest hospitality brand. Very clean room, nice towels, clean bedding, wonderful shower. There were young kids running up and down the hall screaming and laughing till midnight, but that is not the fault of the hotel, just bad parenting. We enjoyed our stay. All staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating. The check in clerk, the maintenance man who helped up bring our things from the car to the room when no luggage carts were available, and the very kind breakfast attendant. I called down around 9pm for an extra blanket and toothpaste (we forgot to bring toothpaste...oops!) 2 blankets and toothpaste were brought up by the night clerk within 5 minutes (thanks!). Breakfast was very nice and the coffee was great! The pool was clean and open from 7am to 10pm. We would book here again. I think I just have to get used to modern beds. I sleep on an innerspring extra-firm at home.

It is Sunday morning, the first day of May and a beautiful morning (at least for now) in Niagara Falls, NY, where we are staying at the Niagara Falls Courtyard. We arrived here last night after a six hour drive from Ann Arbor where we attended the University of Michigan graduation. We chose this hotel in part because it was approximately half way between Ann Arbor and our home in Albany plus it offered an opportunity to see the falls from a vantage point different from the Canadian side, where we typically stay when traveling between Michigan and New York. Having driven nearly 400 miles and arriving at 10:00 pm, we were very pleased to be welcomed by Chris who checked us in a personable, yet professional manner. Besides giving us our room keys, she gave us a quick overview of the hotel’s amenities, directed us to a luggage cart and then the elevator. This is the third Marriott property that we have stayed in during this trip and Chris’s welcome was by far the best we had received Also, when I asked about what seemed to be a hint of a chocolate scent in the entry way, she explained that the building used to be a Chocolate Factory. Maybe the gods were at play because I am a big fan of Chocolate Upon entry into our third floor room, we were first taken aback by its size but then realized that we had been staying in Residence Inns , whose suites are noticeably larger. Having said this, the room was perfect for the two if us, had a king size bed, a couch and sitting area, a desk, and even a small balcony. It was decorated in what I would call semi-modern and everything was clean and the bathroom had plenty of towels, etc. Besides Chocolate, I also am a fan of Marriott pillows and was pleased to see the bed had four pillows plus a backing to sit up against. Our one complaint was the lack of enough coffee packets (only two) and we had to go down to the lobby to purchase two Starbucks coffees which were excellent as was the service we received from Rachel. We then headed off to the Niagara Falls State Park, which was a relatively easy mile walk away. Overall, on a five point scale, I give the Niagara Falls Courtyard a rating of 4.5 I know this is long, but after checking in, I read some of the earlier reviews and we did not experience any of the problems mentioned in these. I hope that anyone who stays at this hotel has the same positive experience we have had.

1, the first floor restaurant breakfast is good, traditional authentic American style, there are more than a dozen to choose; per capita about 20 dollars; 2, we chose Newcastle room, two double beds, each bed is very spacious should be able to sleep 2 people. The hotel room is very spacious, the food in the refrigerator is free and the children are very happy. 3. The hotel is the closest hotel to the Great Falls. It takes 5 minutes to walk to the American section of the Great Falls, and across the road is the bridge to Goat Island. Look at the people in the middle of the sun and come back to rest and play again. 4, must go to the Maid of the Mist, feel the close contact with the gusts of the Great Falls, very good 5, the hotel front desk service is very enthusiastic, is one of the best in the United States, to help us print the cruise ticket, the rain boots forgot to take it, still good for our custody, passionate introduction of attractions information, etc.

There are breakfast, usually American scrambled eggs and boiled eggs, as well as sausage and ham. You can also make some waffles yourself. There are three kinds of cereals. There are two kinds of fruits. Basically, there are drinks, like juice or milk. The hotel has a washing machine and dryer, and each floor has it. Washing machine 8 25 cents wash once, the dryer is 4 25 cents. If you don't have enough cents, you can go to the front desk to change. Baggage can also be stored at the front desk without any fees. There is a parking lot.

Breakfast is only bread and juice, not even eggs, the room is large, the air conditioner and the refrigerator sound very noisy, the air conditioner is dirty, other aspects of sanitation are OK, there is a bus to the Great Falls opposite the hotel, but the number of shifts is small because Time is tight, so I still drive by myself. If the time is not tight, I can park my car at the hotel to make a bus trip.

The room is OK, the breakfast is very simple, there is no problem with eating, the front desk has always had coffee and tea and hot water. There is nothing around, but there is a Chinese restaurant not far from the car that is delicious.
