The only main issue we had was that the bedding was extremely stained. We had to go to Target and get new bedding to sleep on because it was that bad.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Buffalo City?

The best area to stay in Buffalo City is the Downtown Historic District, particularly around Main Street and Water Street.This district is the heart of Buffalo City, known for its beautifully preserved Victorian architecture and its position along the Buffalo River. It's very walkable and offers a mix of local shops, eateries, and cultural venues. You'll find the impressive City Hall building at the centre of the area, and the riverfront promenade provides pleasant views and access to boat tours.Couples will find the Downtown Historic District particularly appealing for its romantic setting and easy access to fine dining and evening entertainment. Many of the boutique hotels here are housed in historic buildings, offering a unique stay, and the proximity to the waterfront makes for lovely evening strolls.For families, staying slightly outside the immediate Downtown Historic District but still within easy reach, areas like the Elmwood Village offer a more residential feel with parks and family-friendly cafes.

When is the best time to go to Buffalo City?

The best time to go to Buffalo City is during the shoulder seasons of spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) when the weather is pleasant and the crowds are smaller.Spring offers mild temperatures, typically ranging from 15°C to 25°C, making it ideal for outdoor activities like exploring the waterfront or visiting historical sites without the intense summer heat. The local flora also begins to bloom, adding to the scenery.Autumn provides similarly comfortable temperatures, usually between 18°C and 28°C, and the humidity is lower than in summer. This season is superb for enjoying the local parks and nature trails, and you might catch some lovely autumn colours. The reduced number of visitors means you'll often find better availability and value for accommodation and dining.While summer (June to August) is popular for its warm weather and beach activities, temperatures can often exceed 30°C with high humidity, and the city experiences its peak tourist season, leading to larger crowds and higher prices.
