I'm going to be traveling to Buffalo, New York (actually, Southwales to be specific) for a 3-day weekend toward the end of September. Any recommendations? Looking for family of 5 so having multiple beds/rooms would be great.

I have no recommendations, but I would NOT recommend the Byblos Niagara Falls hotel on Grand Island. I was there last summer for a conference and found it to be dingy and not well maintained.

Byblos just took over management in June, 2013. Prior to that it was flagged as a Holiday Inn. I have heard lots of good things about the current operation.

Under the new management, major improvements have been made.

On the other hand, it would be quite a trek from there to South Wales

The nearest town likely to having housing available is East Aurora, but that could be pricey B&B type stuff or the Roycroft Inn. For low cost housing, the best bet would be the hotels around the Buffalo Airport. Those will be 25 to 30 miles from South Wales.

I was there in July 2013. Perhaps the renovations had not started, and that is why the staff may have been so disorganized.

Yikes, lots of the hotels are already booked for Saturday night and slim pickings on AirBnb

Hello
South Wales is located in the Southtowns of the Buffalo Area. There is a nice new Hampton Inn in East Aurora, NY. East Aurora is a quaint Historical town very close to South Wales

Thanks for the help and suggestions. Actually found a great place with a full kitchen in separate bedrooms in downtown Buffalo but unfortunately it's fully booked for the weekend. But a good resource in case anyone is ever looking.

I ended up booking Embassy suites as the availability changed. More than I wanted to spend, but enough room for the five of us.
