Hilton Garden Inn Buffalo Airport is the full-service pick on the airport strip: 158 rooms directly across Genesee Street from the terminal, refreshed top to bottom in 2025, with a restaurant and bar you don’t have to leave the building for. The shuttle is free and runs around the clock. Address: 4201 Genesee Street, Cheektowaga.
