My friend and I enjoyed our time at the Geneva Inn!
Pros:

We liked the complimentary champagne, the size of the shower, the chocolates left in our room, and the location of the inn.

Cons:

The workout center was nice, however, a treadmill would be a nice addition.

The staff was great and loved the quaint look of the Inn
Pros:

Location was great. Loved the view. Staff was amazing.

Cons:

WE only stayed one night. So to get not even a full 24 hrs for over $300 was quite pricey

Peaceful Getaway
Pros:

I highly recommend The Geneva Inn for anyone looking for a tranquil and peaceful getaway. Our room was clean, the staff was friendly, and the balcony views were beautiful. As a nice welcome, we were greeted with a complimentary glass of wine upon arrival. The hotel also offers free parking and has a great on-site restaurant.

My only suggestion would be to expand the breakfast menu by adding more breakfast sandwich options, such as bacon or sausage, egg, and croissant sandwiches. However, this was not a deal breaker, as there are several excellent breakfast restaurants less than 10 minutes away.

Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would gladly return.

Pros:

Great Location, clean,

Cons:

They hold your credit card for over 2-3 weeks. As a result, I don’t plan to return. When I inquire they tell me it’s the cards issue, not theirs. This is untrue.

Lake Geneva’s Finest
Pros:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Geneva Inn was a great place to celebrate our anniversary. We were greeted by friendly front desk attendants and complementary champagne. The room itself was clean and updated. I highly recommend a lakeside room with a balcony. While it’s a little out of walking range to downtown, it was just a short drive.

Don not get first floor room
Pros:

Balcony rooms that face the lake on the first floor. I highly recommend not to get. you are so close to the restaurant people they’re looking right at you they might as well share their dinner with you so it’s not private at all

Top notch service, with gorgeous rooms and amazing views of the lake!
Pros:

The hotel is beautiful and the room is gorgeous. Extremely comfortable bed, massive tub and large room. And the best part is how attentive and kind all the staff are at the hotel from the manager to front desk to housekeeping and the restaurant.

Cons:

There is nothing about this hotel we don’t like. We love this hotel.
