My wife and I stayed for one night only the night of June 15-16. We were visiting relatives who live in Amherst, NY. We booked this on hotwire.com which is the best way to go. I've never used hotwire before. If you've never used it, you don't know which hotel you'll get, but you know it will have certain criteria... More

Our experience at the Holiday Inn Amherst was great. I booked my room through priceline for $70/night and I was a little nervous at first after seeing some of the negative reviews here on trip advisor but once we checked in the hotel my fears were allieviated. The front desk staff helped book me and my son into a two... More

The second building was obviously an add on because it's about a mile from the front desk. This wouldn't be too much of a problem if the room keys actually worked. I asked for two, and kept them in different places after it happened twice. Didn't matter. It's 2013, the technology is there, use it.

Right close to the university, this is a good example of good services for the price you pay. Clean, good rooms (roomy enough), nice personnel. Avoid the restaurant. Breakfast may be better but even worst.

We arrived so late that moving to another hotel isn't an option. We are simply too tired to go somewhere else. The lobby is nice and we were well received. Our first room was on the first floor, which has some water or flood damage that smells. Our room smelled worse, however, and we were quick to notice that there... More

Nice clean hotel,central to all amenities:shopping in particular and restaurants. Good value for the money. Only compliant: the (water)pipes need a lot of insulation. Every time some one in the room above or next ran the water or flushed a toilet,you heard it. Not fun early in the morning or late at night when trying to rest.

Spent one night at this hotel last week. This hotel is not the Waldorf Astoria, make no mistake about it. But in fairness, it's not billed as such.
