We had a two night stay at this hotel and it was totally enjoyable. The standouts were:
1. The staff - everyone we met was friendly and seriously hard working. The woman who managed the breakfast room was a delight - cheerful, helpful and just on top of everything. The man who checked us in seemed to work all hours and was friendly and helpful every time we ran into him.
2. The breakfast - had a solid breakfast on both days - eggs and ham or sausage, a selection of breads and muffins, and waffles. The make your own waffles featured two kinds of waffles - a flavoured variety and regular. Add juice, yoghurt, cereal and fresh fruit and there was something for everyone.
3. Coffee/Tea/Hot Chocolate was available 24/7 - While I only took advantage of it once, just knowing that I could grab a fresh coffee at any time was great.
4. Pool and Hot Tub - pool was great, super clean and warm. Hot Tub was also clean, well chlorinated and functioned perfectly. Towels always available and the pool room was nice and warm, with adequate seating and clean windows.
5. TV - HBO! Lots of channels, large screen, working remote.
The hotel was well maintained, clean, and comfortable. The rooms are basic - not huge, and painted concrete with small, but efficient bathrooms. Liked that they are reducing some plastic waste by having built-in dispensers for shampoo/conditioner and lotion. And unlike most inns these days, you have the option of daily room cleaning, though we didn't bother having the room made up every day.
Just a great stay at a budget-friendly Inn - we will definitely choose this place next time we're in Amherst/Niagara Falls area.

I would absolutely recommend Sleep Inn- Amherst for anyone who is traveling on a budget but would like a good quality hotel stay. Pros: Very Clean Quiet Basic, but tasty breakfast 24/7 coffee and tea!! Comfortable bed Friendly staff Very accommodating to my family with our 1 year old 12 pm check out
Cons (ish): While rooms are nice, they are quaint My room only had plug ins on one side of the bed Not a ton of breakfast options Dated elevators
I was pleasantly surprised with the hotel and the price, and I strongly recommend it.

I was quite pleased with this property. My understanding is that the property is not a new build, but it obviously has been completely renovated. I’ve been to properties where “renovations” amounted to not much more than a slopped on coat of paint and old nasty carpet replaced with cheap vinyl flooring. That is not the case here. Whoever owns/manages this property really cares about the product they want to provide. Linens & towels were of good quality and very clean and white. Staff were all very nice and although we had other plans for breakfast, they did offer a very nice breakfast that I believe we would have enjoyed as well. One word of caution concerns the bed offering. A room that offers two double beds is truly DOUBLE beds, not queen. I wrongly assumed that they might actually be queens which were being called double. In my opinion, a double is perfectly fine for one adult, but unless you really like to snuggle with your bed mate, a double is too close for comfort. For my husband and I, who normally share a king bed, this was not ideal. Not the hotel’s fault whatsoever as they were perfectly clear that the room contained 2 double beds. Other than choosing a differently appointed room, we would definitely stay here again.

Room Tip:Only have king and double beds. Rooms are small so there would be no room for 2 queen beds.

We stayed at The Sleep Inn Buffalo Amherst on September 14/15th (one night) 2022 in Room 514. First impression of the place pretty clean and inviting though a little dark and slightly outdated. The receptionist, Melanie, was outstanding, super friendly and followed through with all our requests. She made our stay exceptional! As far as the room - adequate. There are a few MINOR maintenance and housekeeping issues that should be addressed to make the room better: 1. The bathroom toilet paper dispenser had used up roll of paper on it with only one use remaining! It had the customary “v” fold so I know housekeeping saw it but let it fly. See photo below. 2. Speaking of “fly” there was a fly buzzing around in the room when we first entered. Very annoying. Had to swat it. 3. The bathroom light (not the shower) works but intermittently. It takes a few tries to get it to come on. Probably the switch needs replaced. 4. The bathroom door does not lock from inside. Needs slight adjustment. 5. The shower head pipe coming from the wall has a cover plate that will not stay in place and slides out from the wall and falls on the shower head. 6. At the bottom of the shower door, inside and outside, there is an ugly buildup of mold/mildew. Needs cleaned better. 7. The room has a slight mildew odor and smells like feet. Maybe it needs a good shampooing.
Overall, a pleasant stay. The breakfast, on Sept 15, was much better than we expected. Plenty of everything to make for a great breakfast. The dining area employee (did not catch her name, from Cambodia) was super nice and friendly and talked to us at length and asked us how our stay was; which was overall great!

Dear Valued Guest, Thank you so much for the detailed list of issues you found. I greatly appreciate the feedback and will have my staff look into these issues immediately. The toilet paper being empty is completely unacceptable and is not up to our standards. Thank you again for being so detailed I truly do appreciate it. We value your business and do hope that you will give us another chance to give you an amazing stay.

From the moment we stepped into the Sleep Inn, we were treated like royalty. From the fluffiest, softest pillows to the comfy beds, our rooms were immaculate. Shower had great pressure and plenty of hot water. But, the most unforgettable, amazing feature is the staff here. Every single one was hard working and friendly. They went all out for the eclipse with theme candy in the lobby every day, to goodie bags and even an eclipse luncheon catered from Wegman’s. Lorne, Jackie 1, Jackie2, and the manager made us feel welcome and respected. They gave us suggestions for restaurants, food delivery, took photos for us and even gave us directions to avoid traffic. Thank you for making our stay so wonderful! And thank you Sleep Inn for hiring such an Incredible staff!!!

The room smells fresh ,very clean and tidy. Bed and bed covers feels like it just came out from the laundry. It’s pillows are so fluffy. Breaskfast is full breaksfast… you have diffirent options to choose from. I have never been to a hotel offering breakfast this much. Also hreakfast staff was quick to replace needed food …. Staffs are so friendly and hospitable. We arrive late at night and we are given assistance immediately and patiently answered all our quirries. There is an inside pool with a SPA with available towels ready to use. It is so relaxing. Environment is clean and tidy. I wrote the address on my book because we will definitely come back in the future and also recommend this Sleep Inn to my friends and relatives visiting Niagara. It is WORTH it… thank you so much for your service and God bless you more.

This hotel was totally adequate for our recent 4 night stay for a family memorial service in the area. Our room (403) was clean, efficient and comfortable. Though a little small in size, (tiny bathroom but with a separate toilet room), it served us well. Cleanliness was above average, and the breakfast was pretty good. Waffle machine, fresh eggs, ham slices and a multifunction coffee machine were better than expected. The major complaint I had was the disparity of the room rate. $130 for Thursday and Sunday nights and $190 for Friday and Saturday nights. Maybe I should have shopped a little better. Overall, a pleasant stay

Had a bus load of 44 travelers. Checked in to the hotel and was given a handful of keycards, no order no sequence. I had to organize the room keys myself. My room was full of gnats. The smell of mildew was overpowering. Called the front desk and the gentleman said he had nothing to spray in the room then abruptly hung up the phone. I then went to the front desk to fax my passenger list, per Diamond Tours instruction, and he was unable to operate the fax. I would not send my worst enemy to this place. It needs to be closed down for renovations

Hi Tracey,
At this time, we do not have guest laundry on property. There is a coin operated facility a mile away from our hotel. However, if you would like, we can arrange for our hotel to wash the uniforms overnight and have them ready by morning. Please call the hotel at 716-691-6510 and I can help you arrange it for the team.
We look forward to having your team stay with us!

Hello AlfAldana,
It is super easy to get to the Sleep Inn from Toronto! Depending on your highway preference you would simply follow the QEW through Canada to your boarder crossing of choice and then take I-190 to I-290. We are located right off of the Niagara Falls Blvd. It would take an hour and a half depending on traffic and boarder crossing times. If you require additional information please call us directly at the hotel at (716) 691.6510. We hope to see you soon!
