My husband and I were going to a wedding in Amherst and needed a pet friendly hotel for two nights. The Lord Amherst is in a good location, the staff is very friendly and accomodating and the room was clean enough... but the hotel looked like it came right out of the 70"s. The air conditioning didn't work, thankfully it... More

My husband and I weren't sure what to expect as there were mixed reviews on Trip Advisor, but found the hotel quaint and welcoming. The staff was friendly, the rooms were clean, the bed was comfortable and a nice little continental breakfast. Location was convenient and price was reasonable.

We were visiting Buffalo for a family event over Memorial Day weekend. We had gotten a decent rate for the Lord Amherst Motor Inn and spent 2 nights there. It's an old hotel where you actually park right outside your door. The room also had a door that opened to a hallway which took you to the office, breakfast area... More

I needed a one night stay for business that was affordable so I decided on the Lord Amherst. My room was on the first floor facing the parking lot and road. The room was rather small and looked like it had not been updated since the 1970's. All the furniture from the desk, bed, tv & chairs looked old. The... More

We tried out the Lord Amhert. I was a bit skeptical when I walked into the hallway where the room was located since the hotel needs some updating but when we opened the door to the room we were pleased with the set up. The room was a nice size and clean. The thermostat was funky since it had been... More

Friends of ours have stayed here and they recommended it, so we thought we'd give it a try. Yes, the furniture is dated (we even had an avocado coloured sink and REAL keys for the rooms), but it was clean and the staff were very friendly! I've stayed in 5 star places where the staff looked and acted like they... More

I needed to stay overnight in Buffalo before a drive over to Canada and chose this hotel. The price was really good and at $67 for a big sized room including breakfast and very neat at that, I shouldn't complain.It has this dated look and feel in the room with classic old furniture and TV even. I arrived late at... More

This hotel could use some updating, but the only complaint I have is the mattress was uncomfortable for me. Yes, the room is older, but it was very clean. We had everything we needed, and for the price in that area it worked out perfectly. The lobby with fireplace was very cozy, and I was impressed with their complimentary breakfast,... More

Needs updating, but everything was very clean, and staff was very friendly and accomodating. It's great that the breakfast is included in the cost of the stay. The breakfast is very carb heavy, but that's standard for continential breakfasts offered by hotels. I would stay here again.

This hotel is a great deal, and right next to Buffalo. The rooms were a good size, very clean, and plenty of hot water, and service was great. The free breakfast was a big bonus. It's a great hotel for the money.
