“This place is absolutely Amazing. We took the two hall one for the men’s one for the women’s. And it’s absolutely the best decision to go to the villa. stuff were really good and helpful. Everything was as they say, I will give it 10 star. The owner was one of the greatest people the you can meet “ friendly, helpful, understanding, caring. he cares about the wedding to be great more than anybody else. thank you The Villa Banquet Center.”
“Wow...we have nothing but GREAT things to say about Avanti. If you're looking for a venue that includes food, bar, desserts, and decor all in one place, Avanti is a venue to highly consider. They're transparent about their pricing and although the initial price tag can seem startling, the price you pay is very comparable to other venues when all is said and done. Our coordinator, Raquel, was our rock throughout the entire planning process. The whole Avanti team was very responsive to our inquiries, and we didn't have to lift a finger the day of our wedding. Our guests have also not stopped raving about the food, drinks, and quality of service. It was the best venue we could've asked for!”
“I went for my first time to anything like it. They showed the movie the Princess bride and the BPO played live along with the movie.
The experience was so enjoyable the musical performance exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend going to see a show, I will definitely be going again.”

“Everyone needs to go and visit this place and see where we have come from. The military is the most respectful service in our country and deserves everyone's time and respect. Visit this to really understand and learn what our country is made of. These men and women are our foundation.”
“A beautifully renovated old church turned music hall by Ani DiFranco. I have seen everything from alternative country and rock to Americana, jam bands and jazz. The acoustics are excellent. They have a bar on the first floor near the stage and in the basement. I've seen some of my favorite bands there over the years and tickets are usually very reasonable. Parking is ample. Just wish the seats were more comfortable. A lovely place to see a show of any kind.”
“I have done quite a few balloon setups at this venue. They are always easy to work with, the staff there is so professional and polite. They have a beautiful facility.”
“Got married last week 9/13/25 at Kotecki’s! We had our entire wedding outdoors and the grounds are absolutely beautiful. I’ve always wanted to have my wedding outdoors and there’s truly no better place to do it! Kate and her team went above and beyond to make my vision a reality, and were constantly checking on us through out the night to make sure we were good and had drinks! Also made sure everything was happening on track with our schedule which I really appreciated. Food was great too! I wish I could relive it all over again. Get married at Kotecki’s you won’t regret it! Great family business!”
“From the very beginning the customer experience was exceptional. From introduction to being shown around to making decisions to just the overall experience was hands down the best we have ever seen. We'd like to thank jermey and his team personally for going above and beyond no questions asked. Thank you to the marygold for making our dream wedding come true”

“Very comfortable rooms and relaxing lounge. The staff are very friendly and are pleasant to have conversations with. Breakfast is also fantastic with a lot of options. We will definitely stay here again next time we visit Buffalo!”
“My family went here to attend a special award ceremony from the City of Buffalo Firefighters.
The convention center was very clean and the food was excellent.
My only wish is that the main entrance was cut off due to street or building construction. Made it hard to drop off and pickup family members who have limited mobility.
Otherwise we enjoyed our visit.”
“This Edwardian building has some fabulous architecture, and now houses the Ukrainian Cultural Center. We stopped in for some food (the proceeds going to the Ukrainian support the Ukrainian people during the war), and got to see the bar area with it's vaulted ceilings. The bar is staffed entirely by volunteers, and has a neat selection of Ukrainian beers. The food was also made by volunteers, and we needed a translator to order! Everything was great, and the people were all welcoming.While the area isn't the greatest, they do have a parking lot on the east side of the building which can get packed, but offers fenced off-street parking.”
“Course had ample grass. Multiple flags throughout the park, very patriotic. Sandy beaches without the hassle of all that dirty water. Very satisfied, try the beef.”

“We had a memorable time at this venue. Plenty of space with two rooms for Very nice appetizers and drinks while we waited for the bride and groom. Appetizers were fresh plentiful & interesting variety. Wait staff walked around with different appetizers. Tables full of cheese crackers fresh fruits perfectly arranged and very tasty.
The main course was outstanding the salad was a picture perfect. Tasty cold romaine lettuce drizzle with a wonderful dressing, Parmesan crisp and shaving of Parmesan outstanding. Main course was lemon chicken filet mignon wonderful interesting potatoes. It was like a scalloped potato pie with a interesting puff pastry crust, it was yummy. Fresh vegetables crispy yet tender. The room was magical. I highly recommend this place.
We did not use the hotel.”
“Had to stand outside a very long time to enter the building to play bingo. But when we finally got in, we had a very fun time with the family. There’s a small snack bar. I think the pizza was from Mr Pizza, popcorn was very good just like the movies and they also had alcohol for over 21yrs and pop and water for everyone else.Parking was a little hard.”
“HUGE bowling alley. Exceeded my expectations by how ginormous this place was. Staff was great. They set up the bumpers for the kids and brought out a ramp for them to use.”
“Never been here before but this place had free bowling for the kids and it was great. Food prices was not that bad and better than most movies theaters.
Could keep up on the one bathroom being clean but I not complaining.”

“I was at Aloft Buffalo Downtown for Roswell's Cancerchella. The hotel was very accommodating, fun, and very comfortable. Their bowling alley was a lot of fun and the XYZBar had great drinks and was very comfortable to socialize in. It gets very busy Friday and Saturday nights with the rooftop bar judging by the line of people waiting for the elevator up. The staff did well to work around some of the rude and pushy customers. I highly recommend staying at this hotel for a nice visit in downtown Buffalo!Rooms: The rooms are fun, trendy, and in my opinion a little nicer than your average affordable hotel. My room was on the 12th floor and had a beautiful view of Buffalo and Lake Erie. The bathrooms and showers were nice and spacious. There wasn't really much for a dresser but instead a place to put your luggage with a couple of small drawers underneath. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were quiet at night. There was also a small table and some seating in the room.Safety: I felt pretty safe at this hotel. You need card key access to get to the hotel floors via elevator. However when I left my room this morning someone had attempted to tamper with the card reader to my door, and the cover was off of it and laying on the ground. My door was deadbolt though so I didn't have to worry about someone breaking in. A few other doors had this happen to on our floor, so i just notified front staff when I checked out. There was ample security in the lobby and the bars, and I felt completely safe during my stay!Walkability: This hotel is very walkable where it's located in downtown buffalo. There are plenty of things to do within walking distance, including the theatre district.Food & drinks: The food catered for our Cancerchella event was fantastic! The drinks at any of the bars were delicious and typical pricing.”
“I've rented the middle room 3 times for various events in the past year. Pat who handles the bookings is fantastic. The accommodations and staff are top notch. I'm a Vet but not a member.”
