What our Guests are Saying:
“This charming gem in Buffalo was perfect for a night’s stay while traveling through. Located away from the interstate, it is a quiet place to unwind, but also close enough to amenities to be able to walk. The staff are friendly and welcoming! The room was appointed with old western charm, was very clean as well, comfortable bed, great water pressure! We’d love to come back and spend a couple of days in town, everyone we met was very welcoming!” Sarah M.
