Misleading advertising. This is a motel in the middle of nowhere with unprofessional staff and worst- no room available, after giving away your room. No record keeping skills. Wasted 5 hours and not able to check in. Have to pay for a last minute hotel at 11.30pm at night.

Do not think about coming here. Neighbor are people you'll don't want to see like homeless.

50+ solo male so I wasn't scared off by other reviews or the neighborhood. The staff was excellent on check-in and check out. The bathroom was quite small, and the shower floor was very old and chipped, and it looked like they had spray painted over it as a temporary fix. There was no carpeting anywhere in the room. There were other guests that perhaps were staying long-term, and their kids were playing in the driveway and it was a little loud at first, but they settled it down around bedtime. The biggest thing for me was the air conditioner, which worked perfectly and kept the room 64° or less. I was headed for it a bike excursion the next day so I really wanted to enjoy some coolness.. not sure I would stay here again, as in the morning, there were three police cars at one end of the inn. But for the night I was there it suited me fine.

Due to something which has led to heavy bookings downtown for Buffalo for last night, established as long as 60 days ago, we had to find and settle for this \"dump\". Sevices were spare to none, fixtures were missing, bathtubs were badly caulked, paint was peeling off the wall in spots and the veneers on room furniture were becoming unhinged. Any interaction with the manager was on the outside of the building. He sat behind plexiglass and met our needs and requests through a security drawer similar to what you would find at a drive-in bank teller. In short a rather unplesant (but expected) experience.

When booking through Travelocity, I requested a non smocking room and motel/hotel with breakfast. I arrived early and was thankful to the lady I found at the desk, she did her best to accommodate me and went extra miles by giving me tips on what to do before the checking time. After receiving a call I went for the checking, hélas where problems started. After requiring when the breakfast was served, the other lady at the desk told me that they don’t do breakfast anymore since Covid and Expedia know about it. After some words with her I requested to talk to the manager who didn’t even bother to come to see what was happening. I left the lobby to go to put my luggage in the room and come back to resolve the breakfast issue. Oh when I just opened the room, it is was full of cigarette smoke. I asked if I can change the room but instead of answering my question the manager ( I understood is also the owner) told me to give back the key and he is refunding my money. He even told me that: “ did you see the reviews in Expedia? You took the risk in booking this hotel”. I was simply thrown out and have to find a new hotel the same day. Confused. Fortunately it was still daytime and I found another hotel to go. Third party booking service, please make sure that you or the hotels in your network update their services. So as the rude manager at University Manor Inn said: You took the risk in booking this hotel, so we customers will assume our risk when doing a booking through your system.

I knew I was booking a no-frills motel, but I did expect that it would at least be clean. The non-smoking room smelled like stale smoke. The chair had cigaret burns and stains. The bath mat was dirty. Something splashed on the bathroom tile and had just been left there to harden. The bedspreads were stained. It was one of the most disgusting motel rooms I have seen in my life.

Additionally, the lock on the door was not screwed all the way in the doorframe, making us feel very unsafe when we heard yelling outside in the middle of the night.

The worst experience in my life. The hotel was filthy. People were living in the hotel.
Someone knocked on my room door and asked for a cigarette. Not to mention I reserved my room to pay at location. And they sold my room at 10am to someone who walked up with cash.
It reaked of cigars. And so the linen was old with spots. I'm so grossed out

We experienced many of the things described by other negative reviews. Our non-smoking room smelled strongly of smoke, the carpets were filthy (turning a pair of white socks black), much of the furniture wasn't in good shape, the microwave wasn't fully functional, and plugs fell out of outlets easily. The general state of the room and vibe of the hotel made us worry about bed bugs, and feel anxious about leaving anything visible in our vehicle as well as just generally unsafe and very uncomfortable. As a result, it was impossible to unwind and we were eager to leave, checking out early and going elsewhere for breakfast. Our stay was on a weekday so there were no loud parties, however, there was a couple having a dramatic, concerning argument in the parking lot and the police did make an appearance. We read that the hotel's policy is to refuse a refund after 5 minutes spent in the room, which is a little telling. Unfortunately for us, we spent the night, but don't make the same mistake we did. Book elsewhere.

We were informed that the battery of the locking mechanism was broken, we couldn’t use our card key and that it would be fixed in the morning, leaving us with no way to get back into our room if we had to leave. The room was a non smoking room and it smelled to high heaven like cigarettes. We could here the loud beats of the music downstairs coming through the walls. We had to leave and go to another hotel.

Well located for our purposes,but shabby and dirty

Our room had not been cleaned when we checked in. Desk clerk either knew and did not disclose this, or he had not been informed of this rather important fact. Beds were. made, clean towels, but bathroom floor very stick. Desk clerk said this stickiness was normal and was due to the cleaning product. Not true and I knew it. All sounded weird...sticky but clean, due to the cleaning product??? Really??? He said it could be looked next morning. I could tel it was filthy due to the dirt on my feet from walking in morning I saw the housekeeping person who told me she had not cleaned the room the day before, i.e the day we checked in. So I spoke with the front desk day person who said that perhaps the night clerk had not been told this by the day staff. Whoops. My guess is that this room not being cleaned before we checked in to it violates a New York State law and code of some sort. Plus the weirdly of the desk clerk not knowing? Or lying. Not good. as a physician my mind went directly to the risk of a communicable diseases....yikes!
