Aloft by Marriott Buffalo Downtown

Very clean. The bar manager was quite friendly and appreciated his service and professionalism

Modern and spacious

Love the stay and the view is beautiful

i was triple billed, broken fridge, broken tv, it was a queen bed not a king, steam room was not working and screaming kids in the pool

Parking was not well marked. When checking in, staff was low key yelling at her computer, acted like checking us in was inconvenient for her as there was only one staff member at front desk. The bathroom/toilet, floor and bed were clean. Great view and cool minimalist style room. However, walls around the bathroom/toilet closet were dirty with toothpaste splatter and drips. Upon check out, initially the front desk was unmanned, again only one employee . When we were checking out, staff was again pleasant, but did not ask how stay was, just quick checked us out and left the desk. We picked the hotel due to location. It was closely located to several restaurants and Shea theater, but would not visit again.

Housekeeping knocked on the door once then proceeded to use their key to come in. I had the dnd hanging on my door. Check out wasn’t until 12pm this happened 10am

Aloft downtown was so amazing. Kids had fun in pool and the staff is excellent

Once you get to your room, -it's awkward but fine. Coming in the front door is like entering a 1970's disco. Getting into this hotel is more like entering a 1970's nightclub: you walk through a corridor, but with it's high ceiling it's more like a tunnel. The 'lobby' has 1 circular couch which is extremely uncomfortable...since the lobby has shared entrance to a restaurant and bowling alley, they clearly don't want you hanging around (not a convenient place to wait for others in your party). Checkin was quick and efficient. Because this building is multi-use, you have to use your keycard in the elevator for access to only your floor (and likewise, tenants shouldn't be able to access 'guest' floors). Parking your car is an additional $17/night in the attached garage. Since the floors are "u-shaped' and the only elevator is at 1 end of the 'u',be sure to ask for a room close to the elevator. If you don't, you're in for a LONG walk w/ your bags to the rooms at opposite end of the floor. Want ice....use your keycard because the room w/ the icemaker is locked. There's a rooftop bar above the 12 floor which stays open late. Overall, with the presence of the roof bar, downstairs restaurant and bowling alley, mixed use offices on multiple floors and keycards designed to limit access...the whole vibe is that there's a security plan designed to keep people only in the places they belong. Somewhat unnerving. If walking is a challenge, you won't like this place at all.

Was in town for 2 nights during the coldest part of the year. Buffalo gets bad weather but has great people, I had so much fun at the multiple bars in house didn’t have to step outside after my work was done for the day. Clean rooms, charming workers, good food and drinks. All anyone could ask for
