The Inn is right in the heart of the village, with nice restaurants north and south on Elmwood. Intermixed are interesting shops and boutiques, cafes, and even a cool grocery store. A mile south is Allen Street and all its wares; a mile north is Buffalo State and the art museum. Hop on a one of those rent-by-the-hour bikes, and Canalside and downtown is a quick pedal away. Even more, there is easy access to the freeway that gets you to Niagara Falls quickly (I suggest Whirlpool State Park for an alternative trip; the hike to the bottom of the gorge is gorgeous). The Inn itself is clean, interestingly decorated and comfortable. The room we stayed in was large ... and my wife took advantage of the large bathtub to soak away a late evening while enjoying a glass of wine. There are snacks, toiletries, water and other small touches that made the stay very enjoyable. What isn't mentioned on the Inn's website prominently is the breakfast: they are delicious. The owner has worked in the restaurant industry as a chef, and it shows. There is a wide selection of healthy options (such as fruit, granola, yogurt) along with hearty meals, pastries, cheese, sausage, etc. And, perhaps most importantly, the coffee was great. One last thing: take advantage of the porch. There is an outdoor sitting area off the communal living room that provides a great place for enjoying coffee and a newspaper in the morning, and a delicious nightcap (perhaps with some Buffalo-style pizza) in the late evening. The people watching from the porch is also great (Elmwood Avenue is pedestrian-heavy throughout the day and evening). Anyway ... if you enjoy culture, food, people-watching, access and beautiful neighborhoods, you'll love this place.

The breakfast was exceptional with detail to presentation, quality and was delicious. The house is beautiful and well kept. It's in a great location with a lot of restaurant choices and stores.

If you're looking for that authentic Buffalo charm without feeling like you've accidentally…read moretrespassed into your grandmother's historically preserved living room, this is the spot. From the second you walk in, the house radiates that classic, cozy "Old Buffalo" energy that makes you want to cancel your plans and just exist in a state of perpetual relaxation. To the left of the entrance is the dining room. It's less of a room and more of a 24/7 hospitality hug. There is a relentless flow of snacks: chips, pretzels, fruit, and candy. The drink selection is equally aggressive in the best way possible (Nespresso, BOTH Pepsi and Coke products, beers, and teas). I spent an embarrassing amount of time just surveying my options. ​The Room (The Grover Cleveland): The room is a great mix of "I'm in a historical landmark" and "Thank God there's a heated bathroom floor." It's well-preserved but doesn't lack the modern essentials. ​The Pros: Mini-fridge, wall-mounted TV with streaming, and a shower with a hand wand (excellent water pressure, too). They even left two pitchers of water for me, one chilled, one room temp. That is the kind of over-preparedness I appreciate. The large windows allow tons of natural light to enter. Wall mounted Aveda shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the roomy shower. And yes, the bathroom has a wall-console controlled heated floor!! There are two luggage racks, writing desk and two comfy lounge chairs along with the king sized bed. One side has a nightstand with alarm clock abd the other side has a marble shelf on top of an old-style steam heater. There are plenty of plugs around the room and the door has bolt lock with old-style key. ​The Con: My only tiny gripe? The pillows. They were a bit on the "pancake" side of the spectrum, very thin and definitely not fluffy. If you like a firm loft, you might find them lacking. ​The Amenities The fireside library and parlor are perfect for pretending you're reliving the 18th-century lifestyle, and the covered front porch is elite-tier for people-watching. Parking is easy: you can pay for the off-street spot or just roll the dice with the free street parking (which was totally fine). ​The Food & The "Staff" The breakfast spread is legit. We're talking yogurt varieties, hard-boiled eggs, fresh fruit, homemade granola, and homemadr scones that I am still thinking about days later. Seriously, the scones alone are worth the booking. Also, special shout-out to the resident dog who clearly thinks he's the General Manager. He's the friendliest employee on the payroll. ​The location is walkable to a bunch of local shops and restaurants, so you're right in the heart of things. If you want a comfy stay that is affordable and feels historical but isn't "stuffy," this is your place!

The inn is located in ElmWood- the area is very walkable. Close by to many local shops and restaurants. The inn communal area is very pretty and is filled with histories. We were in awe how well maintained the inn was. The staffs were all very friendly. I really enjoyed talking to Polly. She was very accommodating. The stay comes with light breakfast included. The room is huge and is nicely furnished. Some improvement suggestions I would have is having more outlets or extension cords. The room actually faced the street and it was shockingly not too noisy, though I thought the inn was thoughtful when I saw they did provide a white noise machine. I highly recommend checking out this place if you're in Buffalo NY. Definitely worth the money.

We were greeted by the whole family (they have a young daughter) in the foyer upon arrival and were walked through how to use the electronic lock pad and all of the rooms available to us on the first floor - two seating areas, the dining room, and an antique souvenir/Buffalo maps room. There's a piano, many fireplaces, and a chess board, as well as a small fridge/freezer for anyone to use. Daniel let us know there were breakfast seating times from 6:30-8am so we let them know we wanted to sit for the 8am. Holly showed us to our room and brought a pitcher of water and glasses for us. The rooms were beautiful and perfectly sized. We had the Sparrow room, which may be the smallest but we had plenty of space. The furniture has so much character and Daniel explained that everything's been reupholstered so every piece was still in perfect shape. Our room had a fireplace, armoire, tv, and dresser with a beautifully redone bathroom connected. The bathrobes were incredible and the plumbing was much better than expected with an old house - did not wait long for hot water and the toilet worked extremely well. We explored downtown for dinner time and came back with a bottle of wine to play some chess before bed. Daniel graciously provided a corkscrew and wine glasses and told us about the history of the house before we went up to sleep. The bed was very comfortable and there was an air conditioning unit in the window that we could control. The next morning we went to the dining room for breakfast and it was DELICIOUS! More than I ever expected - a peach pastry with what tasted like homemade whip, a yogurt parfait with home grown and made fig jam, a cold pressed celery/pear/apple/ginger juice, and finally our choice of sweet (banana fosters French toast with bacon) or savory (herb cream cheese, lox, onion, and capers on everything bagel crisps with a poached egg) so we did one of each :) 4 courses with coffee and water while admiring the beautiful fig tree right outside the window... incredible. Holly and Daniel are doing an AMAZING job here and I cannot recommend this place enough. 17/10!!!!

It definitely feels like a hidden gem but more people need to know about it! After searching the area for a possible hotel to stay at (and being disappointed with the results), I chanced upon The Butler House and decided to book the Regatta room for a short stay on their website. Before I arrived, the hosts Jaime and Dan reached out to verify any dietary restrictions and anything they could do to make the stay more comfortable. On the day of my first night, they also checked in on my ETA and gave me instructions for late check in which was very helpful. It's located in a very peaceful and quiet neighborhood. This place was made to feel like a home away from home. It felt like I was visiting a friend's house. The decor was super cozy and well maintained. Everything on the first floor was so pretty to look at, from the foyer, front porch, first floor bathroom, dining room, and front porch. In the foyer, there were snacks, fruits, coffee pods and tea bags. There was also a piano to test your musical skills if you knowhow to play. I enjoyed my time swinging on the front porch's giant swing and feeling the evening breeze as I took in how peaceful the neighborhood was. The rooms were all located on the 2nd floor of the house and come with pin pad locks which was convenient. The Regatta room was huge and also came with a sun room that had two plush couches and white curtains. It felt like the perfect place to curl up with a nice book while sipping on some hot tea. There was also a heating lamp in case it gets cold. The sun room was also the only place with USB chargers which I wish the other outlets inside the bedroom had too. Everything about the room was super clean and well kept! The bathroom was neatly decorated and there was plenty of space inside to layout my skincare bottles. There were also small hand towels, hand soap, body wash, shampoo and conditioner. I really appreciated that they used regular brands like Olay and Pantene (I could tell by the smell because I use them at home too!). In the bathroom there were 4 switches (2 for lights, 1 for bathroom exhaust and the last one turned out to be for hot water which I had to figure out as I'm not used to turning on the heater like that or at all). The pressure of the water was fantastic though it was a bit small inside the shower space. They also had a lovely large bath towel and the bath robe was the cherry on top (I might get one myself). The bed was big enough for me and it was such a nice feeling to sink into a plush and soft bed after a nice hot shower. The TV had access to Disney+ shows which was nice. There was also an AC unit on the wall. I liked that all the room's light switches were right by the bed so that I could make the room as cozy as I wanted it to be. Breakfast was served at 8:30am sharp in the dining room. Tea, apple cider, orange juice and coffee were offered. The first course was Taiwanese scallion pancakes with egg and sausage on the side. It felt like a taste of home for me and an unexpected surprise in Niagara Falls. I would've liked ketchup but there was only sriracha and soy sauce. It was such a large portion I barely had space for the second course. The second course was a giant plate of blueberry crumble with whipped cream. It was quite sweet and most of the table was too full to clear their plates too. They really meant it when they mentioned that guests often don't need to eat lunch after having breakfast here! It definitely fueled me up while I was wandering Goat Island! Butler House has set the bar high in terms of any future bed and breakfast locations I might stay at!

As we entered the side entrance by the code given to us in an email as we stepped in the house we were immediately face to face to an older gentleman that popped out of the basement. Wow that was pretty scary. We immediately could smell an odor in this house. The first problem we discovered is there are 2 rooms on the ground level and 3 rooms upstairs. The gentlemen asked us our names and said your rooms are upstairs number 3 & 4. We went up a few stairs from the entrance and he pointed to the stairs to get up to our rooms. The stairs were not something a senior person would want to navigate several times a day. The carpet on the stairs oh my didn't look too clean. As you went up the stairs it got hotter and hotter. The property manager said he would ask the owner to lower the thermostat I am pretty sure that was not going to help the upstairs so it would be comfortable. They are very outdated, dark and dingy, windows so dirty you can't see through them. Ceiling fan was noisy and wobbling, it could have fallen at any minute, safe hazard. There had been plumbing work done between the tub and toilet then a piece of random board was nailed on the wall but the nails were not pounded in and the heads of the nails were sticking out they were very sharp, safe hazard. One of the rooms had no closet what so ever no place to hang a hanger anywhere. It had an old small chest of drawers that a small tv sat on top of. The tub in one of the rooms was so outdated looked like it had been there for 40 years and it looked dirty and dingy, I would not shower in that. The living room furniture old and dirty looking I would not sit on it definitely needs to be replaced. Also this is not a true B&B no meals are served you cook your own and clean up behind yourself and you can't use the kitchen before 7:00 am. We were on a once in a life time vacation to Niagara Falls thinking it would be great to stay in an B&B so we could have a space to visit in the evening after our daily adventures and have breakfast in the mornings before our daily adventures. This B&B was so smelly and dingy that our vacation would have been ruined by staying there. So glad we opted to not stay we went to hotel in Canada and had a great stay.

We did have a ceiling fan in the room but it did get warm. Other than that everything was great and Niagara Falls was amazing!!

We were able to check in early and both woman at the concierge desk were friendly and informative. Room was spacious and clean. Just a short drive/ walk to many restaurants and bars and Buff State Campus. I think this is such a cool place with lots of history. One downside for us on this particular stay is the Bar is closed currently as they resold to a different company and there was no information on when it will be reopening so keep in mind if you are planning on staying there anytime in the fall of 2025. You will have to make a short drive to other spots in town! Overall, pleasant stay and would definitely return if we are in the area again.

The first floor is dedicated to the history of the asylum, propaganda about how the asylum treated people better than other asylums did at the time (but I don't believe that at all) and details about what it took to renovate the space to become a hotel. The asylum is but one building in a cluster of at least 10 hospital buildings. All of the rest of them are still abandoned and in disrepair. In terms of walkability to anything nearby and blight immediately surrounding the hotel, it's not the best location. But the architecture and style was so cool to explore late at night when everybody else in the hotel was fast asleep. And yes, this place is pretty pricey to stay at but somehow the day that I checked prices, it was only $118 per night. There are not really many amenities... Rooms don't have a microwave or a fridge, even though the king room we were in had ample space to accommodate both. They also don't have a pool. And although we slept in through breakfast, I've read reviews that it's pretty lackluster. Definitely not a place I would spend $250+ a night to stay in. But if I could find it for less than $150 in the future, I l'd definitely stay there again!
