This is a wonderful hotel product. I was amazed at the forward thinking of the Brand to provide a hotel of this calibur in the Buffalo market. I will be back in the fall and will only stay at this hotel. I also searched the Internet for more Hotel Indigo's and was able to find others in the markets in which my company conducts business, Chicago, and Dallas spefically.
Thank you for providing a wonderful hotel stay.
Lift Your Spirits

I want to find a Hotel Indigo in every city, but this new chain has only about a dozen hotels in the U.S. right now.
I stayed in the Hotel Indigo Amherst for nearly a week. I had time to get to know a lot of what they offered.
Without being overdesigned, the light, bright decor really lifts a person up. There are, for example, backlighted sky panels just outside the door of each room. It's just one of the subtle touches that lighten everything. I don't know if this lightness has anything to do with their following the the Golden Mean, the Fibonacci Sequence or Phi, but they do make this clear in much of the decoration and architecture.
The food in the cafe was great. Good variety, nice taste, quick service.
Not all of the staff was particularly well informed, but most of them went out of their way to meet every need. I asked half of dozen of them if this was as great a place to work as it was to stay. They were polite about it, but I don't get the feeling they were terribly enthusiastic. "It's a job," said one. Maybe they will improve the situation with staff.
I actually found the Haiku on everything a bit tiresome after the first few. I didn't want to read haiku to figure out why they left a message under my door, still I get that this is part of their quirky image.
Finally, I realized they were marketing to ME or to my general demographic. The 80s music played in the hotel seemed carefully chosen to avoid heaviness or bubblegum.
No question I would stay there again. I'd like to go back now.
A clean, comfortable room for a reasonable price

I stayed at the Indigo with my son during a hockey road trip, which took us to see the Buffalo Sabres. I was looking for a clean, comfortable room at a reasonable price, and that is exactly what the Indigo delivered. The front desk staff was very pleasant and accomodating, the room was clean and nicely decorated, and the bed was comfortable. The room was a little snug, but not cramped or uncomfortable by any means. My son and I were able to hit the pool and hot tub, and they did have a workout room which -- though small -- has all of the basic requirements for a decent workout. Free wireless internet service that actually works was a plus. When I called the front desk for a late checkout due to the need for mechanical repairs for my car, they instantly offered a later checkout than I had anticipated. My only disappointment was that the hotel is about 15-20 minutes from downtown by car, and there was no shuttle to the arena. But this is not a criticism, since I knew the hotel was outside the city when I booked it. I am quite sure that I will be returning to the Buffalo area on business and/or pleasure in the future, and I would definitely return to the Indigo. I would recommend it to others as well.

My girlfriend had a seminar at the Center of Tomorrow (U Buffalo North Campus) so we decided to try this hotel. It was 2 minutes from the seminar site and we were very impressed with the accomodations, staff and our stay, although brief was an enjoyable one. The room was spacious, with comfortable beds and the flat screen television was an added bonus. Room had an armoire for ones's outer garments, coffee maker, hair dryer, iron/ironing board and the walk in shower had great pressure and was very clean as was the entire room. The little cafe where we had breakfast one morning was a little pricey, but the food was delicious. The Staff was professional. courteous, cheerful and very helpful when it came to giving directions. We will definitely stay here again when we are in the area.

Coming away from this trip, my only regret was not spending more days at the Hotel Indigo-- The staff are terrific, very friendly and helpful. The Starbucks downstairs is a definite plus point. The rooms are comfortable, modern, and inviting. The complimentary shuttle service provided by the hotel is a huge bonus for newcomers to Buffalo, or those who aren't driving rentals. Internet speeds are superlative, and the front bar and general location is terrific for use as a meeting place. My word of advice? Finish off your stay with a dip in the jacuzzi-- This is one place you will want to keep coming home to.
