The staff is friendly and helpful. The hotel is old with many layers of paint and no elevator to the second floor. The wireless internet in our rooms was difficult to sign in to and difficult to stay connected with because the signal was so weak. Normally we choose a Hampton Inn or Hilton Garden Inn, but non were convenient... More

Spent the Sunday evening over this Victoria Day long weekend in Amherst, NY at this Holiday Inn as a rest stop between Grove City, PA & Toronto, ON. Always reliable hotel property. A bit tired looking in some common area spots but they have spent $ on fixing the property up. Service is excellent at the front desk. Love the... More

I stayed just last weekend at the Holiday Inn and it was old but clean. You get what you paid for so that's what you can expect. I was happy to see that it was clean and it smelled nice. Would be nice if they had a mini fridge and microwave in the room maybe some day that is something... More

I have stayed in Sleep Inn Amherst, and We got it from priceline for $57 including travel insurance. HOliday inn had nice rooms, comfortable bedding and a shower tub. There were only two packs of condiments in the room. They each had one sugar, one sugar substitute, and one non-dairy creamer. As far as the choices, there were three Keurig... More

Dear Dina71: Thank you for your comments about your recent stay, however, I am disappointed to see that you were not completely satisfied. I will address the poor communications between our housekeeping, front desk and restaurant. You should have easily been able to access and receive additional condiment packets. We try to supply an average amount as not all guests... More

We stayed here two nights during the Canadian March Break for some shopping. It is well located, but a drive to the malls. The halls were a maze to find things but by the 2nd day we knew where to go. A "business" center in the foyer -only 2 computers and a printer. Coffee machines in rooms nice. Yes, halls... More

Not really a bad place. The hallways and lobby look dated but the rooms are ok. Towels are a bit stiff, but the bed very comfortable. Two story hotel, so if you are in the 300's you are far far away (good if you like it a bit quieter) Platinum members get a free drink in the bar and food... More
