Beautiful property! I loved walking around and checking out all the architectural details. The museum on the ground floor was interesting too. It inspired me to go out and see other local buildings.

Rooms and hallways are incredibly spacious. Quiet on the weekdays, but seemed notably busier on Saturday night into Sunday. Definitely off the beaten path relative to Downtown Buffalo but still walkable, though a bit more challenging in the winter.

We only stayed one night but the bed was comfortable, the room was clean and the hotel was quiet. Breakfast in the morning was very good as well. I didn’t understand the need to hold an extra $100 security deposit on my card at check in but hopefully the hold was released.

The buildings themselves are absolutely stunning and what they have done with them is amazing. We had wanted to stay there for a long time and took the opportunity to stay in Buffalo prior to a Buffalo Bills game. The Christmas market was icing on the cake.

Very nice experience, history, location, cleanliness, and staff! We wish the breakfast had more variety. Other then bread and muffin, there was only scrambled egg, bacon, and french toast. Yoghurt, cereals, boiled eggs, veggies, and more fruits would've been nice, especially for kids. Thank you.
