Overpriced, ugly signs, still an architectural gem
This is an extraordinary hotel and an architectural gem but wildly overpriced for what it is. It used to be classy when it was hotel Henry but has been downgraded by terrible management, hideous signage, and big photos everywhere instead of tastefully curated local art it once featured. The most frustrating is that they have horrible scented air fresheners everywhere that create a sickening smell. In summary it feels cheap and cheesy since reopening, incredibly sad.

Exceptional stay in a gorgeous hotel!
An amazing accommodation! This hotel is one of a kind, with a very interesting history. The rooms are spacious and beautiful. I love the little reading nooks, and the common areas on each floor. I would be delighted to return, and can't recommend highly enough! The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us... five stars!!

We loved staying in this historic building. It has been beautifully updated but you still get the feel of the past. As far as eco friendliness - it would be better to provide paper rather than plastic water cups and in the room to reduce plastic waste. Also biodegradable / compostable cutlery at breakfast. Thank you for the paper coffee cups.

Back to Buffalo in style
The first view, at dusk, was a bit scary. No lights seemed to be on in the hotel and the silhouetter against a cloudly sky was formidable. But inside I found welcome and warmth. The front desk staff was helpful and everything inside and out seemed well tended. I would like to point out that the person responsible for housekeeping in my rooom was lovely. When she learned that I had been sick, she helped with cleanup and was very solicitous. -bathrooms are cold, when you get out of the shower, the room is very chilly - showerhead points inward toward the wall, so you aren't feeling the full faucet. I believe its this way because the shower pan is too low and the faucet would flood the room otherwise - bathroom light on either side of the mirror is extremely harsh and its difficult to see yourself - soap dish is mounted right where a person would stand. So you have a choice - either hit the dish or leak the shower. - the instructions for the tv specify using the 'OK' button, of which there was none. It should be updated. - the all-day coffee near the front desk is a lovely idea. The milk furnished for it should be an unflavored milk product that is shelf stable (and it does come in creamer sized) - The bar should be offering glug (mulled wine) or something along those lines for the holidays - the food quality in the continental breakfast is well below par for a hotel at this price point. The quantity of choices is fine, but the quality is lacking.

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.

Difficult if you don't have own transport to get around. We had to uber to niagara falls. To get to buffalo we had to take a bus which was confusing if you don't know the area. But saying that the hotel is a magnificent building to explore with a museum in the basement and we got a complimentary breakfast.
