Mark, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was clean, the beds were comfortable, the staff was friendly as could be! The Richardson felt like the center of action -- the holiday market out front was incredible, with people everywhere having a good time under the beautiful lights in this iconic architectural marvel. And once we were upstairs, it was quiet and cozy. Perfect spot.
William, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the historic Richardson Hotel. It is a beautiful "old" hotel with modern rooms and it's own unique charm. I enjoyed the architecture of the building and the wonderfully high ceilings throughout the building and rooms as well as the extra wide hallways that you just don't see anywhere else. I had a great night sleep which is not always common when spending a night away from home.
Deborah, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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!

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely beautiful and unusual historical building that a portion of it was turned into a hotel and is located next to a college. Had very modern rooms with very tall ceilings and beautiful furnishings. Will definitely stay here again.

8/10 Very good

Beautiful building! The only drawback was that there was not restaurant or bar operating in the building, yet. They did offer many recommendations in the area, however. Service was good.
DEBORAH, 1-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.

Building is really unique,you walk through the history
MARYAM, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Awkwardly, Expedia sold us the room but this hotel is new and does not have their booking set with Expedia. So, they didn't have a reservation for us but luckily had a vacancy so could fit us in. The property and staff are great - booking through Expedia was not

10/10 Exceptional

Thank you to the staff and management at the Richardson Hotel. I had a medical emergency my first night and they were helpful and considerate being the go between for us and EMS. After returning to the hotel they checked in on my well being and when feeling better I throughly enjoyed my stay. Thank you for being more than just staff but caring, empathetic individuals. The Richardson is a beautiful hotel . 20 foot ceilings and 3 inch wood doors virtually sound proof. The hotel is an architectural masterpiece surrounded by history. Elmwood/Forest Ave has everything a Buffalonian like me or visitor could ever want. Food/ shopping/nightlife or just sights. Liquor license and restaurant on grounds we will be retuning for the holidays. Thank you again for making our stay enjoyable despite the circumstances.
