The hotel itself is gorgeous to look at. I got a suite because it was my anniversary and I was hoping that it would be fairly spick and span considering how much it cost for a single night but our suite door would not close without myself or my partner putting our full body weight on it and our heat was not working. So, we made sure that our bedroom door was closed and properly locked when it was time for bed. I called multiple times before my visit to ask about early check in for the suite and was told that staff would not be able to give me an answer and that I should keep calling back. However, I had an inkling that the suite I paid for should be available. It was not until I showed up in person, gave my name and shared that I booked the suite, that I was told that I could check in. I most likely won’t be coming back but the place is gorgeous so they certainly get points for that. And I liked the museum area downstairs.
So glad to have stumbled upon this property when searching a place to stay. It is a beautifully remodeled historical building. If anything I wish we had more time to try to in-house restaurant and relax in one of the vintage lounge areas. The service was great as well. It is a good little neighborhood with easy access to other parts of the city, whether you are going downtown or to Niagara Falls, it is a quick on/off the highway. Highly recommend

Beautiful historical building and grounds. Fascinating history.
Unfortunately restaurant was no longer operating.
But we would still recommend The Richmond Hotel highly!
This room and place was disgusting there was a mental health facility right next door for psychiatric patients the roof leaked into the unit are unit got flooded we had to move three times
Limited room amenities compared to other hotels. The room they put us in was rather small for two people also. Nice hotel for a renovated asylum but, could be better.
