We love the location and the historic building has been beautifully restored.

Wonderful experience! I really enjoyed walking the hallways of such a beautiful and historical building. They did a wonderful job restoring the building.

Overall very nice stay. Friendly staff, beautiful rooms. I’ve stayed in both a city room and the king suite room. For this stay, I was in a city room and the only thing I would’ve changed would be having a microwave or cooler in the room. And it was quite small for over $200 a night. Also, parking is a little competitive as there isn’t much space in the general lot. There are other spots but it’s a bit of a hike. But other than that, gorgeous and luxurious.

The rooms are clean and modern. Based on appearance alone, I loved it. However, the smell of the building and cleaning products they use was enough to keep me from coming back.

An amazing historical property with a great restaurant. The only downside is the rooms are small but they are well appointed

It was clean maintained and fairly new ....................

A unique facility with attentive staff. I'd definitely stay here again.

It’s after midnight, people are partying in the hall, we’ve called the desk twice

TheHotel was fantastic. I was really happy with the service and restaurant. But there is no signage to get there. No sign and street address does not find it. I lived in buffalo so I knew the general area but because it is on State property there can be no sign.

A gorgeous renovation of this unique building. We spent two hours just wandering this amazing building and looking at all the artwork that adorns it. This is a must stay historic hotel. Highly recommended!!!

Enjoyed our stay, comfortable, well light rooms, good space, hangers and extra hooks in room and bathroom to hang towels. My only suggestion for the check in registration staff is to have a printed instruction paper and history of the hotel due to being so unique. There were papers and discription of the art work over to the side, b ut I would have appreciated verbal/ info given to you at check in! We did not have meal, but, attended function and all food was very delicious and nicely served. Very happy to have stayed at Henry Hotel. Also needs a bigger sign out front and around parking lot as to where hotel is present on landscape.

Beautiful, beautiful hotel. You can feel that the staff is still working out the kinks. Was incredibly spooked when a maintenance guy came into our room unannounced - it scared us both! Overall, awesome hotel. Would go back immediately!

The hotel wouldn’t accept my confirmation number; I had to pay in cash upon arrival….not happy
