[SCG] Buffalo hotel

[wrsssatty at aol.com]

But, Hank, the event IS downtown and a lot of people want to be as close to the event as possible.  True, there are newer hotels downtown and they ought to be considered but I think that attached, indoor parking ought to be a consideration given that some folks will be bringing collectible cars.  As for me, I've never found downtown Buffalo to be especially dangerous nor do I consider a kitchen in my hotel room to be something desirable.  I'd much prefer to eat out and enjoy some local cuisine.  I do far too much grocery shopping and cooking when I'm at home.

Actually, I'd look around.  The Adam's Mark---rooms were small, people

complained about the A/C not working.  There are SEVERAL NEW Hotels in

downtown Buffalo that are ready, or will be by Fall 2016.
When I'm home, I
usually stay @ Candlewood suites in Amherst near the 
University of Buffalo N.
Campus. Much roomier  Full Size frig and freezer, 
Microwave, (super grocery
not 2 miles away)  dishes and glasses and sink. 
was 119.00/night in June this
year, going back in Dec 101.00/night.  There 
is a new Wyndham hotel in
downtown Buffalo, and several others built since 
2006.  A new one right at the
newly remodeled Canal District (not far from 
the old parking area for the
trailers @ the 06 convention) will be 
operational in 2016.  There are 2 floors
of the hotel with full size hockey 
rinks built on them.  Owned by Terry
Pegula---Owner of the Buffalo Bills and 
the Buffalo Sabres (NHL).  If you
havent' been to Buffalo since 06, you'd 
never recognize the place.  The Adams'
Mark  (built originally as a Hilton 
in around 1986) is well overpriced for
what you get.   Before you all 
decide, take a look on Expedia to see the
offerings.

If I come (I'd like to) I'll not be staying downtown.  I grew up
in the 
City, (3 blocks from Chevy Tonawanda) and I feel safer in the
suburbs.
