    I've very torn here between a 3 and 4 so I've erred on the side of 4 since overall I was pretty…read morehappy with our stay, however there were some clear pros and cons. Pros: - Location was convenient to the freeway, surrounding areas, and was safe - Hotel and room were very clean and updated - Breakfast had a wide variety of items and everything was hot and well-prepared - Staff was incredibly nice and went out of their way to help Cons: - The property needs some maintenance and upkeep. Surfaces like tables are worn and chipped. The huge lightshade in our room was broken and falling apart. Caulk and grout were cracked and looking poor, etc. - Humidity was really high indoors even though it wasn't horribly high outside. Our door would not close properly because of the humidity level and all my papers felt damp. - The public spaces (hallways, lobby, pool, etc) were very poorly lit with only these tiny wall sconces and no other lights. Overall, I would stay again, but definitely has some things needing improvement.

Apparently there was a concert going on in the area and there were no available hotels Airbnb's or bed-and-breakfast so my father had to sleep in the Denny's parking lot across the way from this hotel the next morning, the 17th Sunday I had booked and room for him here and although check-in time was until 3 PM when I spoke to Missy she understood the circumstances that my father was going through and let him check in early and get a shower and some sleep. my dad is 78. He was traveling alone by himself and it was horrible knowing that he had to sleep at a rest area. I just want to take the time out to thank Missy for her hospitality and her compassion that she conveyed to my dad. I wish there were more people in the world like Missy cause heaven knows we're lacking them right now. Thank you Missy.!!

    My husband and I stayed in the Beach House room at the end of January and it was the perfect winter…read moregetaway. Being so close to the lake during winter was a beautiful experience and having a warm, relaxing room to stay in was incredible. We immediately slipped into the provided robes, ran out onto the deck and opened up a bottle of wine we picked up from Firehouse Winery. After a quick cheers and a photo we got too cold and ran back inside to the warm fireplace. We sat in front of the fire sipping our wine and before we knew it, it was all gone. We called the on site restaurant to order another and a charcuterie board not realizing we were cutting it close to closing time. After thinking for a moment the person who answered the phone kindly obliged and sent over a great wine and the most beautiful charcuterie board that we promptly devoured. We ended our evening in the comfortable jacuzzi tub and then slept in the incredibly comfortable bed. The Lakehouse Inn and more specifically the beach house suite is the perfect stay if you're looking for rest, relaxation and impeccable service. We definitely enjoyed the quiet side of Geneva-On-The-Lake during the winter.

There is also a lovely little electric sauna which did the job. Be aware there are not full amenities here such as showers or other bath items, but there is a sauna shower where you can get a spritz. There is wine, champagne and cheese/charcuterie boards for purchase, and complimentary hot chocolate, coffee and orange peel infused water. Taryn the spa manager was welcoming and friendly. Weekday pricing was very reasonable. My only gripe was the peculiar sitting area, with a motley crew of decor. But that's a minor oversight for what was otherwise a perfect day. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Geneva on the lake.

    We made a reservation online, but it didn't seem to offer a reservation for the patio. We got there…read morerequested the patio, but they kind of discouraged us from doing that. I found that a bit frustrating. I should've just canceled my reservation right then and said I wanted to be a walk-in. But our server, Heather was excellent. I have the lemon ricotta pancakes with blueberries, and my wife had the Smashburger. Both were excellent. We will go back, I'll just better understand how I can sit where I would prefer.

    We booked our room pretty last minute so we were only able to get a queen room, which was actually…read morefine. When we got into the room it seemed clean and was nicely decorated. We wanted to take photos from our room to the outside since the lake was the view we were paying for, but the windows/screens were so dirty that we couldn't even take a clear photo. When we opened the window to get some fresh air inside, the window sill was disgusting. We felt that with the lake view being what would make this room desirable, the windows should be clean at the very least. After we settled in we had drinks on the patio. The setting was lovely and we enjoyed the cocktails. We had checked a couple sources online regarding the in-house restaurant and it looked higher end to us. We felt that this would be a good choice for our anniversary celebration. We had 7:15 dinner reservations and we were seated right away. We ordered the shrimp appetizer and it was very good, however, our forks were removed with our appetizer plates. Next, we had soup which was good but cold. After we barely started our soup, our entree was delivered. We still had no forks and it took a while before we could get the attention of our server, but we were able to flag down a different server who brought us forks. My husband had the burger and it was average. I ordered the BLT spaghetti and it was probably the worst meal I have ever been served. It was cold, probably because of the wait for our silverware, the sauce was watery and the pasta was awful. I'm not sure what the chef did to the pancetta, but it was like no pancetta I have ever experienced. It is so embarrassing to complain about a meal and send it back, and we just never do that. But this was so bad that I couldn't bring myself to eat it. Once my husband was almost done with his meal, our server noticed that I did not eat mine. We politely told her the issues and she kindly offered to bring me a replacement meal. But honestly, at that point my husband was just about done eating so it really didn't make sense. We were credited for the meal on our check. We had read via text that if we needed ice or wanted to inquire about a late check out, that we could call or text. There was no phone in our room and we did text, a couple times, and never got a response. So no ice, no late check out. We brought our phone chargers and plugged them in before bed so we would have a full charge by the morning. Apparently the plug next to the bed was dead. We moved the charger to the plug near the TV, which was also dead. So our phones did not get charged fully before we checked out. The TV volume was not operable, we assumed it was intentional to keep the volume low between rooms. But with the window open we could not hear the TV at all. Since check out was at 11:00 am and breakfast was only served until 10:30, we didn't make it up and out in time to be able to take advantage of that. We didn't really want to set our alarm in the morning on our anniversary celebration. We had looked forward to sleeping in a bit. Upon booking our room, at check in and also as we were seated for dinner we were asked if we were celebrating something special. We let each know that we were celebrating our anniversary. Odd that we didn't even receive a "Happy Anniversary" note in our room. We travel often and feel that this was not the experience that we should have received for the price and location. All this being said, we did respond to the feedback request from Vincent Michael Wine and they responded to us immediately. Basically they acknowledged our concerns and will share them with the staff. We hope that others will have a better experience than we did! This may be a nice place to stop in for wine tasting in a beautiful setting but we would never spend the $500+ per night for the overnight stay.

The pans, well if you need one forget it I think they found them in the trash can! Why would you put a clock inside a pillow case?!? I have never seen a place so dirty! In fact when I wanted to try to take a shower the whole thing sprayed in 20 directions including ceiling. Was scared to sleep at night as there was a rat trap down. Never ever again and would not recommend! Hey st least we got to see Lake Erie. Please don't waste your money! Plus the lady who checked us in was rude and said that the cottages will triple next year!! Not worth a penny I found on the ground! The smell. Well I would of been better sleeping in the car!

As of Sunday, it had not been repaired & Brenda at no point came to check on the situation herself -sheets stained -hair throughout shower on check in -no trash cans on the beach -Overflowing trash cans on the street -Playground equipment removed, leaving hazardous holes in several places where they were not properly filled -My parents bathroom door handle broke, locking her in the bathroom in the middle of the night for quite some time. My brother & father to fixed it, as everyone was on eggshells with Brenda -Slander. My uncle asked Brenda for the owners contact info, she started yelling at him, told him he 30 minutes to get off the premises or she was calling the cops. He opted to wait for the officer, along with no less than 20 friends & family who were witness to Brenda's irrational behavior that day, as well as throughout the week to him & others. However, the officer came & told my uncle it was Brenda's right to have him removed, stating Brenda sited my uncle was aggressive. What a joke. I heard from first time guests that when she didn't answer the number listed on the office door while they were trying to check in, they went to the beach to kill time & she promptly chased them down & approached them with such hostility they barely had a chance to tell her they were guests. Way to make a first impression. The VP was responding & defending the actions of this awful woman & turning the actions around onto the guests that have been loyal returning guests for years on another review site, until suddenly their whole listing "disappeared". I can't help but wonder if Ryan(the VP) has met this woman & if he actually wants to run a profitable business. If they really do plan on building a Bar & Grill on site as she has said, I hope they have a better business plan than running off return customers.
