Top Buffalo City Hotel Reviews

Ocean Sands Beach Boutique Inn - Stay At the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"This was my second time staying here and I will be back again. This hotel has multiple amenities, very kind & helpful staff, and beautiful rooms— I am very fond of the bathrooms in the rooms. Me and my partner met some very cool people we chilled and talked to by the pool which was nice. Also we love the free cookies & popcorn you get around 5. We will be back a third time for sure. We love this place and have been telling our friends about it aswell, very much a hidden gem. We are not 21 just yet but love traveling and this hotel being 18+ was very accommodating for us!"

"Keep in mind, his is an older lace that’s been around since the late 1970’s, however I had had updates. It’s definitely an older no frills place, and was clean and modern furnishings. We checked in and out and never even dealt with a staff person. Seamless. I’ll be back."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Buffalo City?

The best area to stay in Buffalo City is the Downtown Historic District, particularly around Main Street and Water Street.This district is the heart of Buffalo City, known for its beautifully preserved Victorian architecture and its position along the Buffalo River. It's very walkable and offers a mix of local shops, eateries, and cultural venues. You'll find the impressive City Hall building at the centre of the area, and the riverfront promenade provides pleasant views and access to boat tours.Couples will find the Downtown Historic District particularly appealing for its romantic setting and easy access to fine dining and evening entertainment. Many of the boutique hotels here are housed in historic buildings, offering a unique stay, and the proximity to the waterfront makes for lovely evening strolls.For families, staying slightly outside the immediate Downtown Historic District but still within easy reach, areas like the Elmwood Village offer a more residential feel with parks and family-friendly cafes.

When is the best time to go to Buffalo City?

The best time to go to Buffalo City is during the shoulder seasons of spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) when the weather is pleasant and the crowds are smaller.Spring offers mild temperatures, typically ranging from 15°C to 25°C, making it ideal for outdoor activities like exploring the waterfront or visiting historical sites without the intense summer heat. The local flora also begins to bloom, adding to the scenery.Autumn provides similarly comfortable temperatures, usually between 18°C and 28°C, and the humidity is lower than in summer. This season is superb for enjoying the local parks and nature trails, and you might catch some lovely autumn colours. The reduced number of visitors means you'll often find better availability and value for accommodation and dining.While summer (June to August) is popular for its warm weather and beach activities, temperatures can often exceed 30°C with high humidity, and the city experiences its peak tourist season, leading to larger crowds and higher prices.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation. To find flexible deals, filter your search by "Fully refundable property" for hotels in Buffalo City.

How much is the nightly rate at a Buffalo City hotel?

Prices for hotels in Buffalo City often vary, but you can find a great deal from £33 on Expedia. All sorts of factors affect price, such as the time of year or the days of the week you choose for your stay. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for the cheapest rate.
