We showed up and our reservation was not in the system. The individual at the hotel was helpful, the individual working for Expedia was not helpful and made it out to feel like it was an inconvenience on our end. Not happy with Expedia based on this experience and how they treat customers when the error is theirs.

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.

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.

The queen bed was in reality barely a double. In fact a queen size bed wouldn’t have fit into the room which was reminiscent in most details of a tiny very tiny dorm room. No on site restaurant or kitchen service at all when we arrived shortly before dinner time tired and hungry. Extremely understaffed. How they dared to charge what they did for what we got is beyond baffling!

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.

This magnificent building had architectural delights around every corner. The care and craftsmanship used during its restoration is remarkable. It was a pleasure to wander the halls and staircases. The room itself was also very nice with 15 foot ceilings, a luxious bed and very quick and responsive climate control.

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.
