“While Red Roof Inn Plus+ University At Buffalo - Amherst touts proximity to Niagara Falls and the University at Buffalo, recent feedback suggests a concerning decline in cleanliness and maintenance that I find hard to overlook. I appreciate the pet-friendly policy and free parking, yet reports of unsanitary conditions and unresponsive service make it difficult to recommend in its current state. My editorial opinion is that potential guests should carefully consider these issues before booking, hoping management addresses these problems promptly.”
