The property itself is quite stunning. It literally looks like it came straight out of a movie and every little detail has been polished to perfection. It feels almost unworldly to walk up to the building and up the stairs and down the hallways. In every sense you can feel the history of the place and be blown away by the colossally high ceilings and amazing light fixtures and woodwork. We had a very lovely stay there and everything was quiet and peaceful. The breakfast was a nice touch, and although very basic, I did not expect it at a hotel of this caliber so that was nice. Usually the nicer the hotel, the less that is provided for free so any breakfast was a surprising extra. Location of the hotel is quite convenient to Buffalo and many great restaurants and the Navy Park, which was really fun to walk around.

Our stay was lovely; the room and hotel were well done. The staff was friendly, parking was plentiful, and the hotel was well located.

The reno of the property is well done and very much keeps the historical appeal rather than new and modern everywhere. Loved the outside winter market. The bar and food was very good. Also greatly appreciated the lower level museum.

We absolutely loved this hotel - it was so beautiful and felt luxurious without a luxury price. The very high ceilings and windows made our small room feel large. The architecture was enthralling and we spent some time just wandering the hotel to enjoy it. The museum on the first floor is open 24 hours and was really neat!

The property is so unique especially being that it is an old psychiatric hospital. When you go in it’s really cool to see all the before and after pictures of the property. The staff was super welcoming and did their best to accommodate everything we needed. There is a cute little bar there also!

I absolutely loved the restoration of the building. They added modern aspects such as the beautiful bathroom and elevators, but I loved that they tried to keep the same look and feel of the hospital. The high ceilings in our room were really impressive I was definitely impressed by the grounds. The staff were amazing. The breakfast was great, fresh and delicious. They had frittatas one morning with pancakes. The next morning were scrambled eggs and pancakes. There was granola, yogurt and a variety of pastries. Coffee was always fresh. I really loved that they had fresh coffee in the lobby as well as lemon water.

The location couldn't be beat. Staying at a historic hotel on a college campus when the students were gone for the summer was a kick. Situated perfectly between Buffalo happenings and Niagara Falls. Walking distance to the art museum and great neighborhood coffee shops! Ate at the Cocina in the hotel one night. The waitstaff at the bar were very friendly. The food was absolutely delicious. Had an amazing pork belly and the best tiramisu I've ever head. Highly recommend.
