Buffalo Airport Hotel

Airport hotel guide for overnight stays, early departures, park-and-fly trips and Niagara Falls visits at Buffalo Niagara International Airport.

Hotels near Buffalo Niagara Airport

Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF) has a rare layout: almost every airport hotel stands on one stretch of Genesee Street directly opposite the terminal, and every one of them runs a free shuttle. That makes distance a poor way to choose. This guide sorts the seven hotels by what actually differs: food, breakfast, kitchens, parking terms and price.

The strip at a glance

All seven hotels have free Wi-Fi, free parking during your stay and an indoor pool except Buffalo Airport Hotel, which has a courtyard instead. Six shuttles run 24 hours a day on request; call the desk after baggage claim and wait at the covered hotel-shuttle area to the left of the arrivals exit.

If you want dinner without leaving the hotel

Three hotels have a kitchen that cooks for you. Hilton Garden Inn’s Garden Grille & Bar serves breakfast and dinner with a bar until 23:00 and room service in the evening. Courtyard’s Bistro does breakfast and dinner with Starbucks coffee. Buffalo Airport Hotel hosts Wingnutz Buffalo, a wings restaurant and sports bar with 34 screens. Aloft has a bar and snacks until midnight but no restaurant.

The breakfast-included hotels (Fairfield, Comfort Inn, TownePlace) have no restaurant, and the walk to the Courtyard Bistro or Garden Grille along Genesee Street is short.

If you want breakfast included

Fairfield Inn & Suites, Comfort Inn & Suites and TownePlace Suites all include a hot buffet, served from 06:00 on weekdays and 07:00 at weekends. That covers most morning flights; for a 05:30 departure, ask about grab-and-go bags the night before. Hilton Garden Inn, Courtyard and Aloft charge for breakfast; Buffalo Airport Hotel’s inclusion depends on the rate.

If you are staying a while

TownePlace Suites is the only hotel with full kitchens, dishwashers included, and it has two-bedroom suites. Fairfield’s Studio King Suites and Courtyard’s suites add a microwave and living area without a stove. Comfort Inn’s king suites have a sofa bed and sitting area.

If you are leaving the car

Every hotel gives free parking for the nights you stay. Leaving the car for a week is different: Buffalo Airport Hotel, Hilton Garden Inn, Courtyard and Fairfield sell park-and-fly packages, Aloft charges extended parking arranged in advance, and Comfort Inn sells long-term parking even to non-guests. Compare with the airport’s own $12 to $30 a day lots in Park, Sleep and Fly at Buffalo Airport.

If you are here for a game or the Falls

Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park is 15 to 18 miles south of every hotel on the strip; Buffalo Airport Hotel is the official hotel of the Bills Backers and fills on home weekends. KeyBank Center and Canalside downtown are about 20 minutes by car or 30 to 40 minutes on the NFTA 24 bus. Niagara Falls is 24 to 25 miles north; see Buffalo Airport to Niagara Falls.
