Great central spot for a city break.

I had a great view of the lake - would definitely stay there again. The room was clean and everything was quiet. There was a place nearby to have breakfast.

This hotel perfectly illustrates "the Enshittification of Everything". It was $500/night (for the eclipse), and had no microwave oven in the room... nor even a microwave oven next to the ice machine down the hall (like some other "boutique" Marriott properties including the "AC by Marriott" in Seattle/Belevue, WA have). The room's sad excuse for a chair (not counting the uncomfortable L-shaped ornament next to the tiny table) was a lonely-looking padded cube that failed miserably as both a place to sit AND a place to put an open suitcase. The refrigerator had no freezer, so I couldn't re-freeze my ice pack and had to use ice cubes for the trip home... and it was so desperate to be "green", it turned off the display after a few seconds and created about an hour of uncertainty about whether it was even working. The room's 12th-floor location was noisy due to the nightclub on the roof. Topping it all off... the bathroom had no lock on the door. Basically, it's a hotel that tries so painfully hard to pretend it's "cool" and "edgy", it completely loses sight of things that actually *matter*, like "guest comfort". If you're pretentiously insecure about your own trendiness, think ascetic minimalism is cool, and you're OK with eating cold packaged junk food or raw fruit for breakfast, you might like this hotel. Personally, Marriott's "boutique" hotels are now officially dead to me. For $150/night, it would have been "disappointing". At $500/night, it just plain sucked.

Cool vibe. conveniently located. Walkable to downtown attractions. I wished the rooftop bar and lower level lounge were open on Sunday funday, but at least the lower level bar was open.

Good job.

Excellent proximity to Town Ballroom where we were going to see a show. Rooms were bright, clean and large!

Service is not great

This hotel was amazingly chic You get 3 restaurants, 2 bars, a bowling alley and about 30 other restaurants within walking distance

The view is amazing!

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel on New Year’s Eve 2024. The room was extremely large, 2 beds, and a small table and booth for eating at. We appreciated the refrigerator, coffee machine, and free water. The bedding was clean, and the beds and pillows were extremely comfortable, and everyone had a solid sleep once we were able. The downside, no-fault of the hotel, was the neighbors who shared our balcony. The balcony door open and closed nearly every minute or two, which slammed and could be heard in our room. The neighbors were also yelling off the balcony until after midnight. In some hotels, you can control the fan on the heater and AC unit which helps with some noise dampening, however we were not able to do this in our room - once the temperature reached where it was set, it turned off. Unfortunately, the shower was not very hot, but we really were excited to see that the shampoo, body wash, conditioner, and body lotion were from our favorite brand Drybar. Parking was easy on the fifth and sixth floor of a parking garage, which was covered from the elements and connected to the hotel by elevators. We did not use the amenities like the pool, or rooftop bar. We did eat at a restaurant, VICE, that was at the lobby level and enjoyed the cocktails, but not the food. This hotel is in walking distance to much of downtown, including theaters, live music spaces, bars and restaurants. I will definitely consider booking this hotel again, as we are frequently in Buffalo for events.

Hailey was great at check in and with advice on where to eat when restaurant was full at hotel. Very pleasant and helpful! Bartenders at WXYZ bar were great as well. Very friendly and the service was great! Would definitely recommend and will be back.

It was a great atmosphere friendly people, staff. Clean and I forgot my room key several times and they never complained once or got upset with me.

We received complementary vouchers and no place to use for breakfast. Waste of $40

Great staff. facilities are getting old though. Walkable area

Had a great stay. Staff was friendly. Clean rooms and gym.

I’m a laid back traveler. 3 room changes night one, an electric issue and a room that stunk from mildew and no acknowledgment nor accountability. Upon checkout, the staff was unresponsive with similar apathy. I was greeted with “you booked through a 3rd party, nothing can do”. Not inexpensive either, in short steer clear.

Very clean

Nice

The room was very modern. The stay was very quiet. I would stay there again.

Area is surrounded by good places to grab dinner or lunch.

Hotel was very nice. It’s a different layout than I have seen. Only floors 10-12 are hotel rooms, and of course the lobby is on the first floor. In between are offices and apartments. No iron in the room. I called to request one but it never came. Very welcoming to my 2 dogs that were traveling with us. Excellent location….perfect for a night at the theater.

Excellent stay. Hotel room and dining was great!

The room is big and the view is great. Great location with lots to do in the area.

I like Aloft in general. The concept is so cool. Is my second Aloft I stay in the world

The Aloft Buffalo Downtown is among the highest quality hotels I've ever stayed in. The check-in and parking are super convenient. The room was gorgeous, stylish and clean - literally one of the few rooms with a wow factor when you open the door. We loved every aspect of the room. The things that took it from 5 stars to 4 for me were that, 1: the neighborhood is a little rough, not necessarily bad, but not great, and 2: the deciding factor on me booking this hotel was the amazing pictures of the rooftop lounge. Maybe I missed it in the description, but the lounge and the second floor restaurant are closed on Mondays. That was a bummer.

Excellent place to stay

it's so noisy at night, we can't sleep well at all. The noise from the bar or pup whatever didn't stop until 2:00am. it's the worst hotel we have ever lived

I didn’t not like the fact that I had to keep going to the front desk because my key card didn’t work after being told that it did work.

It started off not to good with the room..but they Fixed it..our new Room was fantastic…..we were there for a wedding…the bar upstairs was Wow…the view from the roof beautiful….the staff was just great and the food was very very good

Rooftop bar amazing and the view. Friendly people staff at rooftop amazing

The bed, pillows, and linens were super nice. Great view of the skyline! We were unfortunately underneath the rooftop bar’s DJ station so it was a little noisy, but living in Buffalo already we were used to some ambient noise and we were offered earplugs by the front desk clerk.

Nice pool. Great view from room. Ceiling to floor windows!
