If you're ever in Buffalo, going to Roswell hospital for treatment. And you have to stay for a while. Kevin's place is a good place to stay they will provide a room for you
When we found out my husband had cancer for the third time and needed to be at Roswell cancer center we stayed there several times due to the fact we lived 3.5 hrs away and needed to be near the hospital. We both agreed that this place is a god send to us and anyone who needs this in a time of need . Friendly staff , beautiful home / rooms for anyone who needs it ! Amazing staff ! Absolutely would recommend this place to everyone n anyone! U r all god sends ! Thank u for all the love n support u give ppl ! Respectfully Robert n Barbara Lewis
Excellent place to stay if you need affordable lodging while be treated at Roswell, Dishes, or Buffalo General Hospital. A great support for family and patient.
If you're staying from out of town, this place will take you. They take a 25 dollar a night donation but they won't insist. Don't abuse their generosity and do try to pay something. We would not have been able to afford our visit to Catholic Health if not for this charity. God bless you.
Great amazing place the staff there are amazing ppl they are very nice clean rooms very handicap like and ill be staying there again i m.in healthcare so my patients go up there alot I like to stay close by them so ill be stopping in soon
Beautiful setting, gorgeous gardens, large guest suites, extremely clean (perfect for post-transplant). Amazing volunteers w free dinners Monday thru Friday. Inexpensive and a true home away from home. 5 minute walk to hospitals. Cannot even suggest how they could improve... Having to be in hospital, then an outpatient for months, being far from home is emotionally difficult. Kevin Guest House, their staff & the volunteers made a challenging situation so much more comfortable & tolerable. Cannot praise them enough!! So much better than a hotel, and making life-long friends w other patients and their families. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place!
Thank you Google maps b_c I was able to find this place near the hospital. I decided to call to see if they had availability while I visited my aunt at Buffalo General Gates Cardio Institute and they did! I arrived to a beautiful home and room. I was grateful to be there, felt welcomed, connected with others, and was comfortable in my room, including sharing a bathroom. Unfortunately, I had to return a few weeks later b/c my aunt passed and I had to take care of affairs at the hospital and rehab and able to stay in a room with a bathroom. Also a beautiful room with two beds. Thank you so much for your flexibility and what you do when individuals, couples, and families come to stay. For me, y'all were a Godsend.
This place was a godsend when my father was receiving treatment at Roswell Cancer Center. Wonderful staff, comfortable and clean rooms. Always a full pantry to help yourself to well. Can't say enough about what an unbelievable asset Kevin's House is to the community and families with loved ones receiving critical care.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
