Abbey Resort
This place has a nice ambiance and nice rooms. It is a little far from Lake Geneva but the drive was really nice. The only bad part was a few staff members were not friendly but it might have been just that day.

Great stay!
Kind of out of the way place on Lake Geneva. It's about a 10 minute drive to "downtown" but we were not lacking for things to do at the resort: - Great bar with friendly staff - Good restaurant for dinner - Didn't use the spa but looked clean and nice from the outside. This would be our top choice when we go back to Lake Geneva (we've stayed at other hotels in the area)

It was ok
I had heard from several people that this was a great place to "get away" but I found it mediocre. It served its purpose of a place to sleep but I could have been happy at a bed and breakfast for all the hype I received. I would look around for other hotels before staying here again (in a nutshell).

Not up to expectations
Facility is just okay, some areas updated others look drab. Staff for the most part were not very friendly or helpful.

great for a nice getaway
The hotel was really nice and the spa was amazing! It was nice to be able to walk to the lake in a few minutes. The shops across the lake were only about a 15 minute drive. The staff was super friendly. They went out of their way to ask us how we were. We will definitely be going back!

First Class !!!!
We went to the Abbey Resort to celebrate our 15 year Aniversary. I really dont have any negative things to say. The resort is top notch and the spa was one of the best we have been too. Love that they have a private pool area for guests at the spa. We will be back !!!!

Upscale Wannabe
This was our second stay at The Abbey Resort. They offer free complimentary valet; however, both times valet and a bellman were nowhere to be found. When checking in, we were informed our [...]reservation had not been processed (whatever that means) so we had to re-register. Our toilet did not flush and our sink would not drain. These were fixed for us, but one must wonder how the cleaning staff didn't notice this?? There was also hair and grime in the bathtub which is disgusting and not what I'd expect from an upscale resort. We spent over $75 (for two people) at The Fontana Grill. This was a Saturday where they offer an all-you-can-eat Prime Rib buffet. Aside from Prime Rib, there were Crab Legs, Mussels, Peppered Beef, various fish, a salad bar and an assortment of vegetables and desserts. They have a menu available with about eight different obscure dishes. They TRY to come off as upscale, but fail. The Prime Rib was chewy and tasteless. The Peppered Beef tasted like cheap banquet food. On the plus side, the server was friendly and did a good job, but that is about the only positive I can give to The Fontana Grill. After dinner, we headed over to The Helm, a bar that is attached to The Fontana Grill. On Friday and Saturday nights from 7-11 they have a wonderful piano and trumpet player that is worth checking out and the service at the bar is decent as well. Both times going to The Abbey there were an abundance of burnt out lights, cobwebs and dust, and the second time the lower level reeked of sewage. By the end of our stay, we found ourselves laughing at how bad this stay turned out; it was so bad, it was comical. Finally, when checking out, they tried to charge us again for the room even though [...]already charged our card. It was resolved, but we were charged a $12 resort fee that apparently goes directly to the resort rather than [...]. I truly wanted to like The Abbey, but found it to be a big disappointment. It's basically a generic version of an upscale resort. I normally don't like to complain and have never written such a negative, critical review, but after two stays at $150+ I just expect much more.
