BUF sleep/park/fly - ?

[mollyseven]

We are flying out in March and I thought I would look around to see if there are any "deals" for sleep/park/fly, with parking for 12 days.
The best deal I have found seems to be the Sleep Inn and Suites which is $114.00 per night plus tax for the night and 14 days parking (comes to 128)

anyone else found a better deal?

Best Western 14day park/fly 139 plus tax
Millenium seems to be 129 plus tax

hmmmm..... ideas?
regular rate at the sleep in I can get for 75 plus tax, so it's not much of a deal really on the parking part compared to the airport.

I am interested in this as well. We fly out March 8th, and back on the 19. So any infor would be appreciated. We stayed at the Days Inn Buff 2 years ago, but it has went up now. Don't know about the ones you mentioned. I did see the Indigo seemed to have a not bad price, but it is for 30 days parking.

Yup, Days inn is 189 plus tax and the Marriott is 189 plus tax.

I haven't checked the Indigo .....don't even remember seeing it.

thanks

My sister stayed at Indigo and said a really nice hotel- not sure what she paid. We used hotwire and got the Best Western Airport Buffalo ($54 per night) and were planning on parking at the airport for $40 a week (long term B) but then the hotel had sign for $40 a week parking and they gave us the extra couple days we required for $10 extra so it worked out a wee bit cheaper than parking at airport......but in the end we have always seemed to have a long cold wait for the hotel shuttle......so next time for sure we will use priceline or hotwire for the hotel and park at airport using their shuttles to parking lots which seem a lot faster than waiting for hotel ones- this trip we waited about 40 minutes for the hotel one. For each hotel with parking make sure you ask where they will make you park- some lots are away from the hotel depending how long you stay-Best Western was great-we parked right around the perimeter of the parking lot at the front of hotel- lot was plowed and no troubles getting out......at Sleep Inn we had to go down the street to a lot that was not plowed well and was a muddy mess when we came back one year- had to push our van over snow bank to get out. Also depending on flight times find out when hotel breakfast and shuttles run.

Is Hotwire like Priceline or how do you book on hotwire?
I have a friend that always does priceline the name your price option but then you don't know what you might get or how far it might be to the airport.
I think I would like to get a cheap hotel and park at the airport also.

I don't think you're going to get anything much cheaper than that. We stayed at The Millennium in September and paid $15 less than that using a Travel Zoo discount.

I am booked at the Best Western for March 7. We got it for $124 (I think). I called direct and they gave me a discount off the 14 day park 'n' fly rate since I am going for 10 days, flying out March 8 returning March 17. They seemed real nice when I called. I told them upfront that I am over their room occupancy and he said they don't check anyways. Going with my DW, three kids (the oldest turns 5 while at the World) and my MIL. We'll be crammed into a room with two double beds for the night. Never been to this Best Western before so not sure what I am in for. But is seems as if $119+ is the norm. To me it is worth it to know I am not rushed the day of. FLight leaves at like 9:30am and I like knowing that I don't have to get up at 4am. We can get up at 6ish (when my little monsters wake up anyways), take our time getting breakfast and to the airport. I plan on being there for about 7:30 or 8am. I assume that is reasonable. My frist time flying out of BUffalo.

Hotwire is similar in that you pay upfront and no refunds-you get to select the area (shows within 2 miles of airport etc so very close to airport) and then the star level for each hotel. There is a site called better bidding (enter city Buffalo at top in search) and it will show all the recent actual hotels people got and the price. I was never too fussy on the hotel for one night so was willing to chance it before flight. We have friends/family who between us have stayed at most Buffalo airport hotels and there have not been any that were too bad at all.
