Williamsville, NY (10 min from BUF)
Garden Place Hotel
Williamsville, Buffalo
A 166-room boutique property on Transit Road with complimentary hot breakfast, Jacuzzi suites, Italian Prime Steakhouse, and airport shuttle service. We personally visited this hotel and provide taxi service to and from all destinations.
What We Found at Garden Place Hotel
Garden Place Hotel sits at 6615 Transit Road in Williamsville, a suburb approximately five miles east of downtown Buffalo and about 10 to 15 minutes from Buffalo Niagara International Airport by road. It operates as a member of the Ascend Hotel Collection and carries the Salvatore's name, one of the most recognized hospitality brands in the Buffalo area.
When we walked through this property, the first thing we noticed was the scale of amenities for a hotel at this price point. A full hot breakfast buffet is included with the room rate, which immediately sets this apart from most properties in the area. The breakfast is a genuine hot buffet, not a pastry basket.
The Jacuzzi suites stood out during our tour. These rooms are not a minor upgrade. They include a 2-person whirlpool tub, fireplace, and a larger television. For couples who want to base themselves in Buffalo and make day trips to Niagara Falls, this is a strong option that offers a different feel from a typical chain hotel room.
What Made an Impression on Our Team
- Genuine full hot breakfast included, not a cold grab-and-go
- Jacuzzi suites with fireplaces at a reasonable nightly rate
- The Italian Prime Steakhouse on site is a serious restaurant
- Sauna on property, which is rare at this price category
- The airport shuttle makes BUF connections straightforward
- Transit Road location puts shopping and dining within easy reach
We regularly pick up and drop off passengers at Garden Place Hotel. The hotel staff are familiar with our operation, and we work well together when guests need cross-border transportation to Canada the following morning.

Book This TransferWhere the Hotel Shuttle Can and Cannot Take You
The Garden Place Hotel 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.
