It's crazy, but it does really exist on their website. If you live near Niagara falls and you have plans to head stateside and do some early xmas shopping you should look at MILLENIUM HOTEL BUFFALO DEALS (http://www.millenniumhotels.com/MCIL.nsf/hoteldeal?openform&125). This offer must be used in September for stays upto Sept. 30th. It's 100USD food/booze credit at one of their 2 restaurants and it's per night.

The hotel is a fully equiped hotel and is walking distance to the Walden Galleria Mall--which is "the largest shopping mall in western New York"

Now, if you are wondering how this is possible. Generally a restaurant strives for a minimum 75% gross profit, meaning for a food item they sell for 10.00 they try to make it cost 2.50 or less. So this hotel will give you a 100USD food/booze credit and in theory it will only cost them 25.00 to do so, so you they are still getting 75.00 USD for the room.

Yeah but doesn't this mean you actually have to spend the night in Buffalo...

Not even 20 free meals could make me do that :)

well, I think it's a good deal
basically u stay for one night for $100 US and have unlimited food (I guess you can eat a lot for $100)

Walden Galleria is a nicer area of Buffalo, I have stayed in and around there many times when going shopping. Thanks for the deal, may check it out if I have time off enough to.

Thanks for posting. I didn't know Millennium had a hotel there, I have used them in London (joining their loyalty program gets you another 3% credit).

Checking out their website, it says that they have a free airport shuttle, but does anyone know if you can park/leave your car there while you're away if you overnight before a trip?

Cheers
