Beautiful Historic Landmark
My stay at the Richardson was very pleasant. Parking was easy, and the front desk staff were friendly and informative. The whole building is gorgeous and very historical without feeling "dingy". I had dinner with cocktails at the bar and it was delicious. Overall a wonderful stay and would definitely return.
