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.

Limited room amenities compared to other hotels. The room they put us in was rather small for two people also. Nice hotel for a renovated asylum but, could be better.
