I liked the historic feel of the building; it has an old-world charm, if slightly rundown. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the rooms were spacious. I splurged on a suite, and due to travel slowdowns, checked in at 11 p.m. The bar was already closed, and the offerings from their "store" were extremely limited, and there were no close convenience stores or restaurants near the location. In the morning, I went to use the in-room coffee machine pod set up that was on a bar in the living room, but not only was it not plugged in, it was far away from any usable outlet. Also, when I went to use the iron and ironing board, the board was out of sorts and needed to be repaired. I hope they can make some thoughtful adjustments to ensure their rooms are fully ready in the future.

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.

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.

We love the history and also the concept of the hotel. We just wish that we would’ve known that we would not have access to any restaurants or even a bar. There was also only a community refrigerator which made it difficult for medication purposes and that was also not disclosed. The staff was beyond amazing and so accommodating it made the experience perfect from that perspective.
