3.5 rating is more accurate. 50 years ago when traveling Main Street-US Route 5, this place was here when most of the other box/prefab motels had not been built yet. Excellent location, value and staff. Our room 111 was a bit stuffy but overall comfortable. The pillows were a bit small and I might have asked for a second one... More

when your only paying $49 a night (internet rate), you cant. Yes, the place is dated, but its CLEAN!! Checked in late on a Thursday night, was in my room within 5 minutes. Friendly staff. Had a room on the 2nd floor facing the courtyard parking lot....very quiet at night, no problems. Room is HUGE.....lots of floor space. Breakfast is... More

I decided to try this place since it was closer and cheaper than the usual place I stay and it was fine. I paid the AAA rate (which is the same for military/govt.) $53 which goes up to 61 with the tax. Room was large and clean. It was a bit stuffy smelling but opening the windows to air it... More

I visit Buffalo every other month and have been staying at a nearby Red Roof Inn. I decided to give the Lord Amherst a try because the location's better (a very short drive to the Galleria) and it includes a modest continental breakfast. Room rate was identical. Lord Amherst is a bit dated and a bit tired. However, it very... More

Stayed for a night to do some shopping. Location is perfect, on a quiet road but only 5 minutes to the busy shopping strips and malls. Very clean, dated, yes....retro is the best way to describe the hotel, but when you are only there to sleep, it's perfect. Will definitely stay again! More

The rooms are a bit of a throwback in time with the 4:3 TVs, real metal room keys, and lack of an iron in the rooms (there are hair dryers & coffee pots in the rooms & an open wi-fi network is available) however, the cleanliness of the hotel, amicable staff, & convenience of the location provided a very positive...

My husband and I attempted to stay here last weekend while visiting family. We brought our dogs along. We left the two of them in the room (one was crated) so we could go have dinner. When we came back we had a message that we could not leave the dogs alone in the room. Apparently one barked a few... More

The place maybe old, but the rooms are well kept. It is very close to Prometric testing center. Highly recommended for those who are taking their exams at Prometric. Breakfast is provided and wifi is free. The stuff are courteous and approachable. Worth every penny. More

We stay at the Lord Amherst a couple times each year, and we expect to keep staying there for our trips to Buffalo. The beds are comfortable and everything is clean. Their coffee is good in the morning, and the breakfast is light but satisfying. The internet connection is free and fairly fast (I got a few Mbits/second - good... More
