What guests say
8.8 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 244 guest reviews
The Big Horn Motel earns consistently high marks for its exceptionally friendly owner and staff, spotless rooms, and walkable location in downtown Buffalo. Minor practical shortcomings — including ageing, occasionally noisy AC units, cramped shower enclosures, and the absence of an ice machine — are noted by a handful of guests but rarely overshadow the overall experience. Most reviewers leave satisfied and many indicate they would return.
