Summary: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly during a weekend stay. The Good - This place is gorgeous. The exterior is architecturally fascinating. The interiors have been utterly transformed into a truly magical space. The rooms are clean and well appointed. The new "museum" space on the first floor is fascinating and absolutely worth a walk through. When we stopped at the hotel bar, our bartender (Beaux?) was very friendly, well informed and very attentive. The Bad - We travel a lot and we have a standard rule about hotel food that we rarely deviate from, but it was really cold out and we rolled the dice. Unfortunately we got exactly what we expected, a cheeseburger and boneless chicken that were well below even chain restaurant standards. Not that we were going to bring leftovers back, but there's also no fridge in the rooms for beverages or otherwise (there is an ice bucket). The Ugly - The wi-fi here is beyond awful. We were kicked off every 10 to 15 minutes and would have to log back in (non stop until we finally gave up). Forget trying to do any work here without a hotspot. Just as annoying, watching TV was impossible. Regardless of what channel you chose it would pixelate and then crash every 10 minutes. We brought it up to the front desk, but there was no change. Also, although there was a smart TV in the room but it was placed in a kiosk mode so there is no way to access your own content (Netflex, Prime, etc.)

Summary: Large spacious rooms. Museum like inside

Aileen Jan 13, 2026 04:50:00 AM

Summary: Great staff!

Anthony Jan 13, 2026 01:28:05 AM

Summary: Our stay at The Richardson Hotel was very good everything was in great shape and the bed was very comfortable. We loved the amazing exterior and interior design of the hotel and also loved learning all about the history of the building in the onsite museum on the bottom level. There were only 2 things that we would've liked to see better. I would have loved to have a small fridge in the room and lastly the front desk was hit and miss if someone was there but all of the people who worked there were very nice and helpful.
