Excellent Sunday Brunch

My husband and I enjoyed a good Sunday brunch at the Inn. The buffet was extensive, featuring an omelette station, carving station, and a variety of desserts. The atmosphere in the corridor overlooking the garden was perfect, and I loved that the meal came with a complimentary cocktail. It was the best way to start our Sunday!

Vintage Charm Meets Modern Comfort

I was impressed with the combination of vintage charm and modern entertainment options at the Inn. Although the Inn reflects its history beautifully, it was great to find a flat-panel television in our room that worked flawlessly. It’s a rare treat to stay in a place that respects its past while providing current conveniences.

The hotel offers a variety of cozy rooms, each uniquely decorated in an artisan style, some with a jacuzzi tub and a great view overlooking the campus. The firm mattresses, completely dependable plumbing, and silent air conditioning ensure a relaxing and comfortable stay, even though the bed was smaller than expected. The service was top-notch, with a fantastic ambassador for the hotel going the extra mile to make our stay memorable. The location, in the beautiful area of East Aurora New York, although prone to heavy snow, added to the overall charm of the stay. The dining experience, while not perfect, featured homemade pies and jams but lacked hot options and was heavy on sweets. The facilities were well-kept adding to the pleasant stay.
