    I was told not to complain about anything, because the owners would kick us out, if I did…read more It was clean, but we were expected to clean it before we left. There was a hot water leak in unit #9, & no shut off valve, so all the water had to be shut off to fix it. I haven't stayed anywhere else in Geneva-on-the-Lake, so I don't know how this compares to others. The town seems to cater to the motorcycle crowd.

    Here's the moral to the story - and I'll give details afterward: Eagle Cliff Inn has new owners and…read moreit is NOTHING like it had been when owned by Jerry & Lu. I have stayed at the inn every year for 13 years! Don't be fooled...The great reviews and nearly 5-star ratings are carry-overs from previous ownership. The lovely photos on the Eagle Cliff website are also carry-overs from the previous owners. A little bait and switch? The new owners are obviously coasting on the previous reputation of excellence that Jerry & Lu earned. Now the details: In less than one year since ownership transferred, the inn has fallen into disrepair and the simplest amenities (such as bedding and towels) seem to be the cheapest they could find. It starts at the front porch where two dead hanging plants set the tone for what we should expect. A few steps further, we found a badly torn screen in the door. A long strand of severed speaker wire hung loosely next to the door. One outdoor sconce was burnt out while one of the porch fans didn't work. Many light fixtures inside didn't work including the stairwell lighting (safety???). There are large cracks and badly patched holes throughout the interior. Bare screws remain in walls all over where previous decor had been removed. The ceiling fan in our bathroom was teeming with dead bugs and the vents were literally overflowing with dirt and dust. And don't look too closely into the toilet bowl. (I'll leave that one there.) I could go on but these examples should paint the (grim) picture. The inn is now the same "class" as the many roadside motels that serve the strip - but with a higher price tag while the owners leverage the PREVIOUS glory of the Eagle Cliff. It's a place to flop, no more than that. And it's not even been a year since the new owners took over. I can't imagine what it will become in another year and beyond. May I propose a new, more fitting, name? How about "Seagull Sinkhole"?
