An unexpected surprise on our recent visit to Buffalo. What started as a hotel choice close to Buffalo State University for a campus tour, turned into one of the highlights of our time in the area. Highly recommend to short or long stay visits.

Don was an incredible host- he made sure I was comfortable and content for my stay. The property is a testament to the preservation efforts taking place in Buffalo and I’m so grateful the Richardson Olmsted was saved from being demolished. Thank you for the wonderful stay- I will be back!

Found this hotel on Expedia and I have to say, it was fabulous. The architecture is beautiful and the room I booked which was a king, was perfect. Comfortable, clean and quiet and a lovely bar downstairs. Will definitely stay here again. Great value as well.
