Top hotels in Waterfront
Buffalo Airport Hotel
Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino
"The parking situation was confusing, but once we figured it out we were fine. Our rooms with a view were amazing and clean. The staff were available to help with questions. We ate at 2 of the restaurants in the casino area and visited the casino. We found the venue worked very well for us!"

M Hotel Buffalo
Garden Place Hotel
"Hotel is under construction. Random rooms here and there were being worked on; you would think they would do it by section. The hotel lobby is cool but I love feeling like I just time traveled to the 1970s. The girls at the front desk were friendly, funny, and very helpful."
