My stay at Moreland Guest House was akin to stepping back to a simpler, friendlier time, when I stayed at bed and breakfasts across the country. It was always so warm and welcoming to be met by the innkeeper, who immediately let me know that my comfort was their primlary concern.That is exactly what I encountered at Moreland! The early 20th century home is immaculate and exhudes charm! Yes, the shared bathroom is down the hall, but it is also large and commodiously stocked with the toiletries I needed. Towels are truly oversized and the large shower is excellent.Best of all is the delicious coffee in the morning, along with a simple breakfast, prepared by an an innkeeper who was eager to chat and ask if there was anything else I needed, or any changes I might suggest to improve my stay.So, no more searching for a budget motel when I visit Buffalo, where I can never trust that my room will be clean and comfortable. Not when there is such a lovely alternative at Moreland!

The Moreland Guesthouse is a former nun convent, a 1922 brick house with all original wood trim and private guest bedrooms. The common rooms and guest rooms have been updated from the photos on their website, but have kept the vintage vibe. The beds were modern and comfortable, a desk, TV and wi-fi access were in each room. They have reported renovating and expanding the community kitchen, but at our visit, the work was underway and the back pool room was a storage area, unlike what their website photo shows. The guest kitchen available was the pantry, with all the old woodwork, coffee, teas and condiments, paper plates and napkins. when asked for a real coffee cup, our hostess did have them and forgot to put them out. There was a community fridge/freezer in the eating area which had modern tables and chairs and the old window looking out at the neighborhood. Yes, you must be game to share the second floor bathroom, but it was kept meticulously clean and other guests were respectful of taking turns. There is a very clean half bath on the first floor, in case of a conflict of interest. Catherine was our resident manager innkeeper and was very helpful and pleasant. We hope to return - this visit was to experience Dyngus Day, Easter Monday, in true Polish style!
