Love This Hotel

We really enjoyed our stay here. The front desk staff were nice but not real friendly. The hotel was very clean. Loved the beds. Liked the way shower was separate from the sink. Because the hotel was not full they did ask us which floor we preferred. We chose the 4th. It was very quite. High recommend this hotel. Plan on staying here again this year (2009)

I have never stayed at an Indigo before so I was not sure what to really expect. After spending 3 nights while seeing the sights in Buffalo, all I can say is WOW!!!
What a great concept hotel. I did not even mind that the price was a little higher then the other hotels in the area, the experience was well worth it.
Stay here anytime you can, you won't be disappointed. The beds are great, the hardwood floors was nice, and it was just a fun place to be
Excellent Stay in Buffalo!

Great hotel. The staff was very friendly and the bed was so comfortable! The hotel is right near the University of Buffalo so if you have to be close to there it is a great pick. The decor was very feng sheui (or however that's spelled) but very cool. I was here on business but I did have a chance to go to Niagra falls for a bit. It was only 20 minutes away and the hotel gave me great directions and some good maps of the area. I highly recommend staying here if you have to travel to Buffalo, NY.

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.

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.
