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.

So glad to have stumbled upon this property when searching a place to stay. It is a beautifully remodeled historical building. If anything I wish we had more time to try to in-house restaurant and relax in one of the vintage lounge areas. The service was great as well. It is a good little neighborhood with easy access to other parts of the city, whether you are going downtown or to Niagara Falls, it is a quick on/off the highway. Highly recommend

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.
