The hotel was more than expected. I can’t wait to see what the new management company does with this historical property! Everyone was helpful and I wish I had more time to explore.

Stunning Building

This hotel was absolutely stunning!!! Loved all the historical touches and would definitely stay again if I was in the area. All the staff were very friendly and helpful.

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel is absolutely stunning. The building is a true work of art, and everything inside is beautiful. The room was very clean, staff was friendly, and the area is quiet and scenic. It has a lot to offer guests, such as breakfast and even tours in the morning. We will definitely be coming back!

A not-miss in Buffalo

What a beautiful hotel. Of the hundreds of hotels I've stayed in, this is clearly one of the most interesting I've been to recently. An architectural gem in Buffalo.
Charles, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice hotel

This is a beautifully restored property that was comfortable. My only issue was navigating around it since at times it was confusing going between the wings of the hotel. The continental breakfast the next morning was a little underwhelming since it was nearly empty - coffee included by 9 am. The staff was friendly and pleasant and very helpful.
Lisa, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Still Feels like an Insanse Assylum

The room was great good and small, somthing I would expect. However, they advertized laundry service and there was none. They advertized a full bar and only had beer and wine and not a good variety. No room service, no room cleaning. The "Free" Breakfast was on a platic roll cart and often cold and stale. The front Desk attendant was rude to me and my wife. For the price and service we would have had a better stay at a Courtyard Marriot

Aymee Carbon, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

WOW!! I LOVED this property!! The history is so fascinating and everything inside fits with the charm of the building. I loved the high ceilings and the fact that there was a gym right in the building. We stayed there to attend a concert, which was just a walk down the street. Everything was so clean, safe, close to shopping and restaurants, and literally perfect. We will definitely be back!

Weird

Strange “vibe” with it being a defunct psych facility but, I guess it’s to be exact
