    The hotel is a very nice place to stay. It's beautiful a quite grand! Understand though, there will be construction going on during the day as the entire property is being renovated. I would assume this would take years.

    The property was delightful. The staff was excellent, especially Denny at the Reception Desk. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting Jim, the General Manager, and Mark, the Food and Beverage Manager. Great staff and, in my opinion, definitely a historic, beautiful facility with unlimited potential!

    We enjoyed the history of the hotel as a former asylum. There was so much history to explore on the grounds and in the building. Our original stay was for 2 nights but we extended our stay by an extra night to take advantage of the hard hat tour of the rest of the asylum buildings. The building architecture is amazing. We are enjoying our stay.

    I've traveled all over the world in great hotels. It doesn't matter how many stars; it's the first impression that makes it. Finding my room was very confusing, having to walk through

    We really enjoyed our stay at The Richardson Hotel. It is an extremely unique property, and I wish that we had more time to explore it. Our room was very clean and comfortable. Staff were very friendly. The only downside was our breakfast. We waited a long time for our food, and it wasn’t very good. It appeared that they were very short-staffed in the dining room. It was the morning of big Pride Parade however, so maybe people called in sick? Anyway, I would definitely stay there again, but I would go out for breakfast.

    Enjoyed the stay! We will be back!
