Bills Fan in Beantown Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 I'm going to the Raiders game for my annual trip back this year. Pretty small group this year. I usually stay at the Marriott in Amherst, but we're toying with the idea of staying downtown. Anyone have personal preferences that they'd like share? Thank you! Go Bills
Bills Fan in Beantown Posted August 15, 2017 Author Posted August 15, 2017 Thanks. I stayed at the Hyatt a long time ago. I generally go to Amherst because that's the area we're more familiar with.
Mrbojanglezs Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 what about the new harbor center Marriott, looks nice right next to the train to catch a ride down to the bars.
plenzmd1 Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) I am 100% downtown. Dont know what you mean by small group, but two options we have used for our trips 1) Lofts on Pearl. Two bedroom rooms with full kitchens to make stuff pre tailgate if you like. Two bedrooms are great, but no TV's in the bedroom, and the living room kinda sucks as well. Ony reason really there is to watch some college football when showering etc, but just be aware. We have fit four in these rooms with the two bedrooms, one on the pull oy sofa, and one on an aero bed that we brought. The rooms are freaking huge, could fit 6 guys easily on aero beds if you wanted. They do NOT have rollaways The location is not perfect if no Sabre game, but with Uber now should be lots easier to get around to Chippeawa, Elmwood Village etc. 2) Embassy Suites. We get the Oversized Executive Corner Suite , again two beds, pull out and you can get a rollaway, and two rollaways if youtake care of the guy bringing em up>>>we usually tip $25 to get the extra rollaway once he brings the first. Right near Chippawa. Both about the same price, not a ton cheaper than getting two rooms, but kinda fun and brings us a back a bit to our college days! Edited August 15, 2017 by plenzmd1
JohnBonhamRocks Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 Apparently the Westin has robot-delivered room service... if that's a deal maker or breaker.
sir andrew Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 New Curtiss Hotel. https://curtisshotel.com/ Block away from Chippewa bars and I hear that it's amazing.
Jamie Nails Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 Embassy is sold out for the raiders game. I tried. Sharks in town on Saturday and will be fun to stay downtown that weekend
jimmy10 Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 Apparently the Westin has robot-delivered room service... if that's a deal maker or breaker. Can the robot be suplexed into a flaming table? Or can it suplex someone into a flaming table?
Bills Fan in Beantown Posted August 15, 2017 Author Posted August 15, 2017 Great suggestions. Thank you. There are only four of going.
Kirby Jackson Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) New Curtiss Hotel. https://curtisshotel.com/ Block away from Chippewa bars and I hear that it's amazing. It's fantastic!! That would be a great hotel in any city. Hotel Henry is a really cool boutique hotel too. Edited August 15, 2017 by Kirby Jackson

billsfan_34 Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 Here is an idea- rent an rv and get the full tailgate experience? If not I would stay downtown- nothing is really far from any place that you pick- Marriot and Hyatt would be a good choice. You can also consider East Aurora- a cozy town with good restaurants/bars right on Main Street and its a quick trip to the stadium- ten minutes. Lastly- people mention Chippewa- stay away unless your idea of a good time is getting mugged. Hit Elmwood strip or Hertel Ave if staying in the city. I really hope this helps!
WIDE LEFT Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 It's not even close - if you can - stay at Pearl Street Lofts - attached to Pearl Street Grill. - your hotel room there is really a two bedroom condo, with full kitchen & fireplace. Cannot be beat, location is ideal.
plenzmd1 Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 Lastly- people mention Chippewa- stay away unless your idea of a good time is getting mugged. Yep, that happens all the time on Chippewa...why its so crowded, people just love getting mugged!
Rockpile233 Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 It's not even close - if you can - stay at Pearl Street Lofts - attached to Pearl Street Grill. - your hotel room there is really a two bedroom condo, with full kitchen & fireplace. Cannot be beat, location is ideal. I can't argue with this. I will say the Harbor Center Marriott is very nice and isn't a bad choice. Downside is I know it to be pretty pricey for what you're getting.
Marty McFly Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 Can the robot be suplexed into a flaming table? Or can it suplex someone into a flaming table? Lol nice.
