The gardens and the view of the lake were great, We were not impressed with our accommodations, for $400.00 a night the room was very dated. There were cobwebs on the ceiling and screens, the rug was badly soiled. ordered red roses for our 2nd wedding anniversary and was told their supplier ran out? so we got a mixed arrangement that was reduced $15.00 off from $65.00..
Had dinner reservations for 6:00pm on 6/24/2024, We were here for dinner 2 years ago and had a wonderful meal. The menu this time around was limited due to the fact many of the entree's were prepared beforehand with black pepper. My wife is allergic to all kinds of peppers. The restaurant opened at 5:00pm and we were told that they were out of the $60.00 Rib Eye steak, come on now! two years ago they had Bananas Foster on the menu prepared tableside. This was not the case this year, was told management changed the menu! On a trip that I was trying to impress my wife, nothing turned out right. Finally our room was on the second floor with no elevators, and i have heart issues.

Beautiful grounds but the rooms were pretty old and undesirable. The bar “closed” early and despite banging on the door we were ignored. Apparently “Nina” was asked and she said no to our request for a drink at 8:45. For the price point you’d expect better.

Beds are terrible and the place is extremely dated

The “brand new” mattresses, as we were told by the front desk, are hard as a rock. The pristine pictures you see online don’t look anything like this place. There is no view of the lake from the rooms. The place is old, dated and the rooms (ours was a suite) have commercial kitchen type of quarry tile with dirty grout lines. Save your money and go elsewhere. I complained about the mattress so that’s how I know they were “brand new”. We ended up not staying the second night forfeiting $450 for the night because they said they couldn’t refund it. Hotels.com claims they tried to get us a refund but they failed miserably as well. There were very few guests and no weddings going on when we were there. I guess that’s why they couldn’t refund our money when I told them I couldn’t stay another night on that hard mattress due to back issues I . Instead we let them keep the money and we drove 6 hours home. Buyer beware!

Now the bad - rooms are dated and in need of renovation and the on-site restaurant is violently overpriced and serving poorly executed food. As a chef, I was embarrassed for them serving such badly prepared food and then having the temerity to charge high end prices. It was also roasting hot in the dining room.

The piano player during dinner was the best! My dinner was exceptional I ordered the special that night. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Our room had roses and chocolate covered strawberries to celebrate our anniversary. The grounds are beautiful, picture perfect. The highlight was sitting on the bluff and watching the sunrise. We grabbed a coffee and apple bread from the parlor at 6:30 and went straight out to watch the sunrise over the Seneca Lake and it was perfect. My only disappointment was that so much of the interior of the home had been gutted and lost to make room for hotel rooms. I had my heart set on seeing a grand stair case or large dinning room or something from the historical period that it was built in. Sadly there was very little to see. Still I think I will be back. That sunrise got me! It is the perfect location.

The property surrounding the hotel is beautiful. But I do feel we were not treated as Hotel guests since we only had maid service ONE day. After the second day of our stay we had to inquire why our room had not been cleaned especially the bathroom also there were no clean towels. They told us the maid had not shown up and to bring our dirty towels down and pick up clean ones. When I pay over $400 a night and have to clean my own bathroom (tub, toilet and sink) and chase after clean towels I am most certainly not a happy customer. If the maids do not show up for work they are obviously not payed adequately!!! Sorry will never go back.

Although there was a coffeemaker in the kitchenette and a refrigerator with two water bottles, the coffee pods and water were never replaced.

Even though we had a lake view room, the view was obstructed with thick cobwebs.

The grounds of Geneva on the Lake are beautiful. That's the best feature of this hotel. The rooms were dated, definitely not the kind of boutique rooms one would expect for the money (we stayed in the townhouse). But the thing that was upsetting was that there was little respect by the staff for our stay. The townhouse next door was being renovated, it appeared, and the crew would arrive at 8 am. Their van blocked our entrance, and the crew played music, talked loudly, and used drills, waking us up and interrupting our morning. Then, in the evening, the owner insisted on coming around and using the leafblower in our outdoor areas, again interrupting us with its loud noise. We had dinner in the hotel one night, and the food was bland, overcooked, and overpriced. In short, we found our experience at Geneva on the Lake did not match what we expected for the price.
