The staff was very nice and the property was a far more interesting stay than a typical hotel which was a benefit. The shower could have been a little cleaner but, the stay was good!

Rating: 5/5 Stars "Such a charming and cozy place to stay! The Buffalo Guest House has so much character and felt like a true home away from home. ​Cleanliness: Immaculate throughout the entire property. ​Atmosphere: Quiet, relaxing, and beautifully decorated. ​Location: Tucked away in a great neighborhood but still close to all the main attractions. ​If you want a unique and comfortable alternative to a standard hotel, look no further!"

So this place is definitely nice if you are by yourself and need a place for overnight. The room had everything you needed like a fridge, smart tv, and an attached bathroom. The free breakfast was very good and there were a lot of options like eggs sausage some cereal was available as well as coffee and some pastries as well. Common areas were nice and clean and if you stay for longer than a day there’s even a small spa outside and a really nice outside space to hang out and just chill. The area is nice and there’s plenty of things to do. Definitely would go back if I ever need to stay in Buffalo again.

Room was nice but small. Showers are shared outside the room. Shower water was lukewarm throughout my stay and one day was not clean. The shared space is very nice and inviting. Breakfast is basic . Dining room gives you a family feeling and an opportunity to interact with other guests.

10/10 Exceptional

Wes's guest house was a great place to stay. The rooms are small but comfortable. The concept, however, is to spend your downtime in the common areas (they even provide robes and slippers). Many board games, and there are several clusters of comfortable seating areas offering different degrees of privacy. Nice breakfast provided daily, and the back yard with ginormous hot tub is not to be missed. Wes is fun to chat with and has good tips for exploring the city and its history. All other staff members were very kind and welcoming.

f you're looking for a stay that feels genuinely special without the sterile, cookie-cutter vibe of a chain hotel, the Buffalo Guesthouse is it. Right downtown, walkable to everything — the location alone sets the tone. But what made this stay truly memorable was the people. C.J. at the front desk is an absolute gem. Warm, professional, attentive — he's the kind of person who elevates a stay from good to unforgettable. You can feel owner Wes Brown's vision throughout the property. Clean, charming, full of character, with that rare quality of feeling like a home that actually has its act together. This is the kind of place you tell your people about. I'll absolutely be back!!

The owner Wes is a really nice guy who obviously takes great pride in this property and it really shows in all the details. It's clean, well organized, with lots of creature comforts like terry robes and slippers, beautiful lounge rooms, a nice fireplace, a jacuzzi in the back, free freshly cooked breakfast in the morning. This place is better than most hotels I've ever stayed at, which is amazing, but true. The location is also great, in the middle of the Allentown neighborhood of Buffalo with all the charming restaurants, shops and bars and adjacent to downtown, so you're close to everything without being too close. I stay overnight in Buffalo on a fairly frequent basis and this is where I'll be staying from now on, hands down. This place is a great value with a lot more character than you'll find elsewhere. I really can't recommend this place highly enough.

Location is very good and walkable to lots of good restaurants. In my case the downtown hotels were very expensive so the guesthouse seemed like a good deal in comparison. As long as you have expectations in check (it's a kitschy if not sort of an odd property) then I think it's a very solid choice. We found it to be clean and the staff tried very hard. My son was a little taken aback by it and didn't love the boarded up / semi burned building next door... That said it seemed like a safe neighborhood and a short walk to Gabriel's Gate. The price was right for sure!
