The Buffalo Bills play at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, NY—10 miles from downtown Buffalo and a short drive from the city’s “Southtowns” suburbs such as Hamburg and Aurora. Since the stadium (known in the past as Rich Stadium, Ralph Wilson Stadium and New Era Field) is in the suburbs, your most convenient hotel choices tend to be affordable chain properties. Staying near Highmark also means you have a convenient launching pad for exploring Niagara Falls, 30 miles away, and local favorites such as Erie County Botanical Gardens. Here are the best hotels near Highmark Stadium.

Hampton Inn Buffalo-Hamburg (5444 Camp Rd.; 716-649-3769) Hamburg

“Excellent hotel with access to Buffalo and Highmark Stadium,” says a Google reviewer about this 80-room Hampton Inn five miles from Highmark. “The hotel was well maintained, quiet, and had a lot of nice amenities for business and leisure travel.” A Yelper calls it “clean, simple, and exactly what we needed for a night. Free breakfast in the morning, checkout is late, and they are dog friendly!”    >> Book this hotel for less

Econo Lodge Buffalo South (4344 Milestrip Rd.; 716-825-7530) Blasdell

Online reviewers like the convenience of this chain that’s just three miles far from Highmark and walking distance from McKinley Mall. “We stayed here for Garth Brooks’ concert,” writes a Tripadvisor user. “Price was high but it was very convenient—we went to Outback Steak house when we arrived and we took an Uber to the stadium without issue.” A Google reviewer complains about the breakfast: “It’s a bag which includes a juice box, cereal bar, and donuts! Not exactly a gourmet breakfast. The rooms are average. The area is relatively quiet considering it’s close to the highway.”    >> Book this hotel for less

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Buffalo South I-90 (164B Slade Ave.; 716-259-8520) West Seneca

“Yes, this is a no-frills hotel,” writes a Tripadvisor user of this 108-room branch of the Choice Hotels chain, five miles from the stadium. “However, this is one of the quietest hotels I have ever stayed in, even though it was sold out. They have free cookies and coffee near the front desk all day.” A Google reviewer writes that “it was a good deal for 10 minutes from the stadium for the big game. Room and bathroom are clean and mostly updated. It’s near the highway, but we can barely hear the traffic.”   >> Book this hotel for less

The Westin Buffalo (250 Delaware Ave.; 716-854-9000) Downtown Buffalo

For an upscale stay relatively close to Highmark, consider this 115-room Westin, 11 miles away. “One the nicest Westin hotels I’ve stayed at,” writes a Google reviewer. “Beautiful gym and good restaurant downstairs. Hotel is located near the theater district and there’s valet parking as well as self-parking available. They employ robots to deliver requested items to your room.” A Tripadvisor user likes the “great location— easy walk to restaurants,” and “the staff could not have been more friendly. Spacious rooms.”   >> Book this hotel for less
