My husband and I stayed at the Curtiss Hotel while visiting Buffalo for an evening in January. After a long 4 hour drive north, we were looking forward to resting in our room. The hotel is a modern boutique hotel that we found on Hotels Tonight, and we were enticed by how affordable the room cost was. If Curtiss was in Manhattan it would have been upwards of $500 a night. We were thoroughly impressed by the bathroom amenities, but the hotel's cleaning staff and maintenance could benefit from being more detailed... the shutters dividing the bathroom from the living space were both dusty, and broken, as well as the curtains, and all surfaces in our room all had a layer of dust on them. You could tell the room hasn't been used or cleaned recently.
Had these small issues been addressed prior to arrival, we would've had no complaints about our room. The jetted tub in the bathroom was large enough to fit two. We loved the spacious, temperature controlled shower, and toilet with bidet and seat warmer. The entire room was smart controlled from a touch pad, which was an interesting feature.
Lastly, because of COVID restrictions many restaurants were closed by the time we checked in, so we were forced to order room service from Chez Ami as the dining room was closed and there were no other options. Being foodies we ordered more than a few items off of the menu; Caesar salad, large charcuterie board, pepperoni pizza, filet mignon with mash and veggies, a pasta dish with their bolognese, and lastly a fruited cheesecake... The only noteworthy entrée was the filet, the demi glasse what is a nice complement to the meat, otherwise we would have been better off saving our money and ordering something inexpensive from Uber eats. It's possible that our entrées were subpar in presentation and taste because the kitchen was closing soon, but this is no excuse to compromise excellence.
For the value, if these issues could be addressed, we would definitely visit Curtiss again.
