Buffalo Airport Hotel
Buffalo Airport Hotel is the independent on the strip, and the nearest bed to the terminal: 205 renovated rooms directly across Genesee Street, a free shuttle at any hour, free parking and a wings restaurant downstairs. It is a good fit for park-and-fly trips, Bills weekends and anyone who wants the largest, closest hotel rather than a brand name. Address: 4600 Genesee Street, Cheektowaga.

Wingnutz Buffalo runs its flagship restaurant inside the hotel, with the adjoining Room 40 bar: 34 screens between them, chicken wings in many sauces, pizza and pub food, and a crowd on game days. It is the only hotel restaurant on the strip built around Buffalo’s signature dish.
Breakfast is not included in standard rates; check whether your rate or package adds it. A market off the lobby is open 24 hours for snacks, drinks and Bills merchandise.
