Buffalo Inn Vintage Motel

We attempted check-in 1 hour, 24 minutes early--in town for a funeral. We were told we would be charged $15 extra. I commented there were only 2 vehicles in the entire lot, 1 of which was the managers, that nobody was present, they were not busy. We were told the $15 would still apply. We left & checked in much later. Previous reviews stated this was a locally owned business, & that it was good to support them. I agree--however, this is NOT a locally owned business, the motel employees confirmed. Rooms are VERY BASIC, NO frills, with a TV system VERY difficult to navigate. We were afraid to walk around in the room without slippers, refused to use the shower. This place is NOT worth the seemingly discounted price. WHY it has the high ranking we do NOT understand. Opt for a place you feel SAFE and cared for in. If you're looking for a CHEAP place to stay--and want CHEAP accommodations--this place is perfect. But seriously, a $15 extra fee for checking in 1 hr, 24 min early for a funeral?!?! Recommendation to travelers: Stay elsewhere.

The floors in the room and bathroom had not been swept or mopped from previous stays. The bath tub was dirty; wouldn't set foot in it. I stayed 3 nights unfortunately, I would have left if I could have gotten a refund. The TV set up was difficult to operate and no instructions were in the room on how to use the system.

We stay here once a year. They continue to update the property and the rooms. Nice place, friendly staff and the best prices you will find

This property was a real value. Recently remodeled and very nice. There wasn't a typical cable TV system or at least I couldn't figure it out. I recommend this property but ask the folks in the office for information on TV operation if that is important to you.

If you're in the room next to the street, it's not quiet; otherwise it is. Price was better than other places in town. Right across from the police department; safe part of town. Internet was a bit iffy with their Video-On-Demand (which was awesome - Netflix, Hulu, etc), and closed captions were a pain. Their tv-tuning mechanism was also a bit painful. They had a microwave, small fridge, but no ice-maker. Big walk-in shower. Beds were comfortable. Trim-work a bit sub-par, but that's just cosmetic. Clean. comfortable, great value. My wife is already making plans to re-visit again; I just heard her on the phone inviting her sister, "We should go again and y'all should come with us; the rooms are cheap and cute...", and then she changed topics, so I don't know where exactly she was going with her story. They have a neat semi-enclosed porch area that's nice to sit in in nice weather; the manager, who was good-spirited and helpful, offered to tune in the Dallas Cowboys game on the TV in that porch, but it was cool enough that our group retired to our rooms instead to watch the game. The road next to the motel is a main road through town, a 1-minute drive to United Supermarkets and Sonic and McD's and Subway, etc. If you're rolling in money, you're going to want the big-bucks hotels; but if you're simple middle-class folks and don't expect big-bucks amenities, I think you'll be content with this choice. I'm confident we'll revisit.

My stay was during the university’s homecoming. It was a nostalgia thing. Having said that, I found the facility clean and functional. It was pleasant and what I expected for the price. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Every hour or so a.large thunk/bang would happen in the walls. No actual blanket on bed just a top sheet and a decorative bed cover. Room was a bit run down

The hotel was quiet but we requested a specific room and was told by Richard that he had taken care of it. Then we left my husband stayed and the lady f the front desk open the door to the room while knocking and my husband was taking a shower he went to the office and they laughed in his face.

The motel was conveniently located to the place where we were going. The check in was easy and prompt. The room was clean. The television picture was super nice. Over-all a great stay.
