Buffalo Airport Hotels -- parking!

[Gladguy]

If you're planning to stay at a Buffalo Airport hotel and fly to MCO, I have an advisory and a request:

Advisory: Call to confirm if your room rate includes parking! I found some attractive rates at a couple BUF hotels (SleepInn, Ramada), but when I called to double check on the rate, I was advised that parking wasn't included in that rate, and the "special Park and Fly rate" was about $40 more.

Request: Can anyone recommend a hotel they know has a great (i.e. sub $100) Park and Fly rate?

At this point, I'm thinking I'll just book a cheap room for $80 and use the parking at the Airport (which isn't even so cheap anymore since they've changed the coupon!).

What changes are you referring to? I just checked the airport parking website and the parking rates are exactly the same for the Long Term A lot as they were over 2 years ago. With a coupon available on their site, the max. weekly rate is US$38 plus taxes. By Toronto standards, that's a deal.

Hmmm... maybe I'm mistaken on the coupon then. I thought there was another one that was only $25/week or something like that.

Still $38 is cheaper than the add-on at the hotels I called, so that might be the solution.

That's what we're doing too.

So, I'm not totally out to lunch!

What Airport hotel are you staying at, Beth?

 

[nosnobunny2006]

I'm not. We only live 1 1/2 to 2 hours away so we'll drive this time. Other times, we spend the night with family that live 5 minutes from the airport. They let us leave our car there and they shuttle us to the airport. This time though, we'll have 2 cars so we'll drive straight to the airport the day of the flight and park onsite.

We stayed at Hilton Homewood Suites. It was $149US, it included dinner, breakky, airport shuttle and parking. It is an ALL suites hotel [two rooms & kitchen] and very nice. The indoor pool was awesome! Dinner wasn't Royal York style, more like a Shoney's. But breakky was excellent. This is how I broke down the cost and value.

Dinner for 4 $50
Breakky for 4 $30
Parking for 11 days $80

TOTAL $160, we only paid $149, in a way, we got all of the above plus $11. heeheehee. S

We are staying at the Clarion Airport hotel before our August flight out and got a park and fly rate of $109.99 - I was the one that called and confirmed that it did include the park and fly! They have a continental brekie too. http://www.choicehotels.com/ires/en-US/html/HotelInfo?hotel=NY244

Great website, wee-haggis! Thanks!

We are staying at the Best Western at the Airport for $119 incl. parking, shuttle and breakfast.

I just booked the Ramada Limited Buffalo Airport for $99 incl. parking, shuttle and breakfast.

Interestingly, the posted rate for the hotel is $69. Parking adds $30. I found the hotel on the www.parksleepfly.com website for only $89 (plus a $4.99 site convenience charge) and when I tried to claim against Ramada's Lowest Price Guarantee, they said the park, stay and fly rate didn't qualify.

 

[hockey mom]

I use priceline for about $40 then drive over to parking lot for $38.

 

[Gladguy]

Hmmm... after reading some reviews on the Ramada Limited on TripAdvisor.com, I'm considering cancelling the reservation. Ewww...

You will then have to enter your email and zip code. It will accept a Canadian postal code. Click submit and voila a link to the coupon.

For those of you that have used a hotel park n fly deal, how efficient are the shuttles? Do you have to wait long upon returning back to Buffalo? I am used to the airport parking and shuttle which is so efficient but am considering a hotel deal this time.

We've stayed at Homewood Suites and HIE and both times we called when we arrived and they came over within 10 mins - no problem at all. For the trip over to the airport we arranged a time the night before. The only problem we had was that we had to get to the airport so early the breakfast wasn;t up and running so we got a bag breakfast to go - still nice though!
