Williamsville, NY (10 min from BUF)
Salvatore's Grand Hotel
Williamsville, Buffalo
A full-service hotel at 6675 Transit Road with complimentary breakfast, Russell's Steakhouse, whirlpool suites, and airport shuttle. A fixture of the Salvatore's family name in Western New York, personally visited by our team.
What We Found at Salvatore's Grand Hotel
Salvatore's Grand Hotel carries significant weight in the Buffalo market. The Salvatore's name is one of the most established in Western New York hospitality, and this property at 6675 Transit Road reflects that heritage. The style is more ornate and traditional than the modern airport-adjacent hotels nearby, and that is deliberate. The hotel targets guests who want something with character rather than a standard brand experience.
The complimentary breakfast is a meaningful differentiator. We have seen many properties in this price range offer a cold pastry setup. Salvatore's provides a proper breakfast, which matters when you are starting a travel day.
Russell's Steakhouse, the hotel's on-site restaurant, is a real restaurant. The menu focuses on American cuisine and prime cuts, and the dining room has the same ornate character as the rest of the hotel. This is not a lobby bar with hot dogs. It is a sit-down steakhouse experience.
Key Things Our Team Noted
- The in-room setup is more premium than typical mid-tier hotels: Keurig, Bose radio, iPod dock, 42" TV
- Whirlpool suites are available for couples wanting something more than a standard room
- The business centre and fitness room are practical and well-maintained
- The airport shuttle is complimentary and runs reliably to BUF
- The property has a serene garden area, which is unusual for a hotel on a commercial road
This hotel works well for guests who want to be near Buffalo Airport without staying in a generic chain property. The combination of breakfast, on-site dining, Jacuzzi suite options, and traditional Buffalo hospitality makes it a strong choice in its category.

Book This TransferWhere the Hotel Shuttle Can and Cannot Take You
The Salvatore's Grand 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.

- 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

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.
