What We Found at Aloft Buffalo Airport

The Aloft Buffalo Airport sits at 4219 Genesee Street in Cheektowaga, exactly 1 mile from the BUF terminal. Of the hotels we have visited near Buffalo Niagara International Airport, this one sits closest to the airfield. The complimentary 24-hour shuttle covers that mile in under 10 minutes.

The Aloft brand targets a younger and more design-conscious traveller than a standard Courtyard or traditional hotel. The lobby and common areas have a distinctly modern feel, rooms use walk-in showers rather than tubs, and the overall vibe is more urban boutique than chain hotel. For travellers who find standard hotel lobbies sterile, the Aloft is a step up in energy.

The WXYZ Bar is a real draw in the evening. It opens at 5 PM and runs until 11 PM, serving craft cocktails and beer. On arrival nights, this is a much better option than most airport hotel bars in the area. The game room is also a genuine feature.

Who This Hotel Suits Best

  • Business travellers who prefer a modern aesthetic over a traditional hotel experience
  • Travellers arriving late who want somewhere to sit with a proper drink before sleep
  • Layover passengers who need a clean, comfortable room close to the terminal
  • Guests arriving from BUF who plan a day trip to Niagara Falls the next morning

We pick up and drop off passengers at this hotel regularly. The staff are organized, pickup from the main entrance is smooth, and the 24-hour front desk makes early morning coordination straightforward.

Where the Hotel Shuttle Can and Cannot Take You

The Aloft Buffalo Airport runs a complimentary shuttle, and it is genuinely useful, but it only covers the run between the hotel and the Buffalo Niagara International Airport terminal. It does not serve Niagara Falls, it does not run to downtown Buffalo, and it cannot cross the border into Canada. For anything past the terminal, you need a booked ride.

Free hotel shuttle covers

  • Hotel to the BUF terminal
  • BUF terminal back to the hotel
  • Set pickup loop, shared with other guests

Our flat-rate taxi covers

  • Niagara Falls, Canada, flat $95
  • Niagara Falls, NY, flat $85
  • Toronto and the GTA, flat $330
  • Downtown Buffalo, flat $45
  • Private vehicle, your group only, any hour

Pickup is at the hotel entrance and the fare is fixed before you get in, so a border queue does not change what you pay. Book online, or call or WhatsApp (716) 957-8900. We run 24/7, which matters for the early-morning departures and late-night arrivals the shuttle schedule does not cover well.
