    stunning architecture
    spacious rooms
    strong floral scent
    lack of professionalism

    The hotel has stunning architecture and spacious rooms, making for a beautiful stay. However, the strong floral scent in the lobby can be overwhelming, and service at the front desk lacked professionalism. Some amenities were also missing, which detracted from the overall experience.

    historic architecture
    modern comforts
    cozy armchair

    I absolutely loved my stay! The Richardson Hotel beautifully blends historic architecture with modern comforts. My room had a cozy corner with an armchair perfect for curling up with a book, and everything was immaculately clean. The location was ideal, placing me near both Buffalo's vibrant scene and Niagara Falls.

    I loved the beautiful architecture throughout the Richardson. The high ceilings gave my room such an airy feel, making it a pleasure to relax. My room was spacious, with a cozy corner perfect for curling up with a book. The location is ideal for exploring Buffalo. However, the absence of a mini fridge was inconvenient. It would have really added to the comfort of my stay. I also wish the restaurant had been open during my visit. it would have contributed to the overall experience. Having more accessible dining options would be a big plus. Despite these hiccups, the blend of historic and modern elements made my time here enjoyable.

    beautiful grounds
    historical tours
    check-in issues

    The outdoor grounds offer beautiful areas to stroll around and snap photos, showcasing the impressive architecture of this historic building. Despite the lack of activity options onsite, the unique tours available allow guests to dive into the building's fascinating past.

    Check-in wasn't smooth at all, with reports of room mix-ups concerning security. The restaurant's erratic hours left dining options limited, and the absence of basic room amenities like drinkable water made things a bit inconvenient. The shower leaked extensively, turning the bathroom floor into a mini pond, and navigating the layout felt confusing due to inadequate signage. While the building is beautiful, I wished there were more engaging entertainment options inside and better management handling reservations and facilities.

    poor parking
    limited availability

    I adored the historic charm of The Richardson Hotel, with its stunning high ceilings and spacious corridors that made navigating the hotel easy for me as a senior. The carefully preserved architecture truly adds to its beauty.

    Parking availability could be improved for seniors.

    uncomfortable bed

    great atmosphere but lacking some comfort

    The atmosphere is vibrant with a unique charm. The staff showed a genuine warmth that made our stay enjoyable.

    The bed could have been more comfortable for a relaxing night's sleep.

    clean room
    lively bar
    confusing layout

    We really enjoyed our stay, especially the clean and comfy Deluxe King Room and the fun bar with tasty small plates. The hotel offers a cozy lounge and a lovely garden area for unwinding after a day of exploring. The layout can be a bit confusing at times, but it didn’t bother us too much. 🌿

    welcoming ambiance
    attentive staff
    high pricing
    structural concerns
    ongoing renovations

    The welcoming ambiance is complemented by the attentive staff, who went out of their way to make our anniversary special, creating a memorable experience with thoughtful touches like rose petals and towel swans. The breakfast, although priced a bit high, featured fresh products that added to the overall positive dining experience. There’s ongoing work to enhance the historical buildings on the property, which is exciting to see, but some updates could be improved to avoid leaks and ensure structural integrity.
