2/10 Poor

Do not recommend
We & guests stayed here for our wedding. They charged $3 per welcome bag which is unheard of. We dropped of welcome bags at 4 other hotels and they did not charge us at all. Our wedding planner also said this is the only hotel in Buffalo that charges for the welcome bags. Suite is very nice, but some of the rooms have extremely small windows and above eye level so if you have claustrophobia be careful. Hotel is like a giant maze so you get lost all the time. Windows do not open so rooms get stuffy. Carpets and headboard have stains. Rooms do not have fridge, slippers, bathrobe. No room service. No restaurant. Also do not recommend going to the gym. Overall, it was not a pleasant experience and I would only recommend staying here if you are planning to staying at the suite. They also charged $55 for pressing my veil. Manager was not helpful at all.

An Experience I'd Have Again!
The Richardson Hotel is a massive stunning property. The renovations and decor was beautiful, it is a hotel inside a museum if you can picture that. There are a gazillion paths to explore, my son who accompanied me on a business trip said "I haven't taken the same way to our hotel yet in three days!" The staff were courteous and helpful with recommendations on restaurants. The cafe and restaurant were not yet open when we arrived. This is now my go to hotel for my stay in Buffalo!
