I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the historic Richardson Hotel. It is a beautiful "old" hotel with modern rooms and it's own unique charm. I enjoyed the architecture of the building and the wonderfully high ceilings throughout the building and rooms as well as the extra wide hallways that you just don't see anywhere else. I had a great night sleep which is not always common when spending a night away from home.

The Richardson provided a truly exceptional experience. Our room was excellent—spacious, clean, and luxurious—offering a perfect private sanctuary. The hotel premises were absolutely stunning, featuring a beautiful blend of classic and modern elegance. Crucially, the staff was consistently friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful, ensuring a seamless and memorable stay from check-in to check-out.

The Richardson is a fabulous looking converted psychiatric hospital. Where my room was attractive and clean, I received no room service in three days. I needed to call the front desk for clean towels. The staff all very friendly. I did like my extremely quiet, very high ceiling room. The food in the bar/restaurant was mediocre. The brrakfast offerings subpar. I would stay there again for the attractive room and convenience of location.

The hotel is unique and spectacular looking. It is a converted mental health facility, though it was once probably termed an asylum. The room was clean though in three days I had no visit from room service. The restaurant food was fine. The breakfast (included) lack luster. I would stay there again.
