What a beautiful property, hard to believe it was part of an insane asylum campus. It has been turned into a to a lovely, modern hotel. The room was small but had everything you could possibly need. I will definitely stay there tge next time I am in the Buffalo area.

My stay was like living in an exclusive European castle. The property near arts and The Knox Museum. Parking is close, the hallways and halls are wide, well lit and filled with real art and paintings. There was even nooks and sittings areas in each great hallway to sit with friends or family.The room was super quiet and everything was new and comfortable. A memorable stay.

Outstanding in every way. Amazing property, spotless room, comfy beds, fun and friendly staff, and inspiring repurposing of a historic space. We have already booked our next stay!

The Place is spectacular with heritage mixing modern living. Very spacious and delightfully decorated. I worked in many hotels and I would still want to stay in this hotel next time. Richardson is classy, special, and carries well trained staff. My kids also thinks it looks like the Harry Potter castle. Only Richardson is more modern and not as big as it seems. Would be even more perfect if the other construction and buildings nearby are functional giving a more fuller community. Now the hotel is quiet at night. There aren't much amenities to be honest but it is perfect for a quiet getaway or buddies gathering for night-long catch up as there are many common areas that are like a high end restaurant.

Loved the property! Beautifully restored. The front desk staff was not very friendly … It was like pulling teeth to get information from them. The lady in the restaurant was serving everybody and super fun! The gym was not that great too… However, the property was amazing and I would definitely stay again and recommended to all.

An amazing hotel, clean and well run. Location is excellent for downtown , museums, parks and restaurants. You won’t be able to stay in anything like this magnificent building so give it a stay. You won’t be disappointed.

The Richardson Hotel is a beautiful historic architecture to stay in and will definitely return here each when we are back in Buffalo, NY. The room and amenities are clean and the hotel staff are very helpful! The fitness center is small with only a few treadmill working, a decent dumbbell selection (up to 50lbs pair) and medicine ball, and a multi-pin loaded machine for workouts. It’s functional for a vacation workout. Though it does get tight when more than 3 people are in the space trying to get an exercise in. The bar is also great and if you’re lucky enough to have Nat as your bartender, you’re in for a charismatic and personable treat. She makes a great drink and is so attentive to what you need. She even remembers her regulars that go there and our drink and food choices when we went again the next day. She ran that bar like a boss and her customer service is top notch! I would go back to stay at Hotel Richardson or really just to go to bar if Nat is my bartender. In addition to this, the food is also surprisingly good! The pizza crust, the dessert brownie, and also the crispy buffalo wings and sauce are “chef’s kiss”.

The facility itself is beautiful with an interesting history. The rooms were pleasant and the Bar / Lounge staff were very friendly. The breakfast in the morning was adequate, but the waiting staff were really accomodating. I recommend this place highly!

The hotel was beautiful the room was amazing and the staff was friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay again especially with the price so reasonable. I wish the area was a little better built up. A lot of businesses closed but the grounds of hotel and restaurant inside made up for it. Plus easy drive to amazing areas. Thanks for a special girls night
