Interesting hotel. Historic property with some beautiful architecture and features but plastered with garish signs and furnished with unusual pieces. Overpriced in my opinion.

Historic stay
The hotel is in a beautiful, renovated historic building. The rooms are unique with very high ceilings and very tall windows. There are several public sitting areas. We had a short overnight stay but would definitely stay here if we return to Buffalo.

Fascinating Historical Building
Beautifully restored building with lots of history. We stayed 2 nights and walked the grounds, went to the museum and learned the history of the building. Very friendly staff, as well as good food and wine at the bar. It’s also about 30 minutes to Niagara Falls.

Beautiful property, large spacious yard with tables and benches to relax by the large trees. My son’s reaction was there is no way we are staying here, it’s a castle! Great service from the friendly staff. Beautiful artwork throughout the massive hallways and rooms. Nestled right beside the state university and in walking distance. Breakfast has egg frittatas, pancakes , cereals, bread/ bagels, yogurt, fresh juice and fruit. I would definitely recommend this place and hope to come back one day.

Not bad spot but has problems.
Very interesting hotel, especially from an architectural and historic standpoint. The staff is nice. The rooms are clean. But there’s a few problems. The pillows are terrible hard as rocks. The food of breakfast is disgusting. It’s hard to believe a hotel that builds itself as a four star serves this putrid dog food to humans for breakfast. The room is filled with plastic wrapped cups in the house. Coffee is terrible as well.
