From the pictures on their website, it looks like you can see the lake from their property. I have to say the pool was very nice. The girl that checked us in was very nice, but it is a tiny little entranceway no elevator so we had to carry everything up the stairs And I did assume it was closer to town than it was. I just didn’t feel they should be posting pictures of downtown Lake Geneva, when that is not their property. The room was clean and very pleasant. The ice machine was not working and the temps were in the 90s so that was a little frustrating. All in all, I was not real happy for the price

From the outside, looked very hole in the wall, but looks can be deceiving. Staff was very professional, friendly & welcoming (we ended up arriving around 1030p). Room on 2nd floor, not bad of a walk up the stairs. Room, so nice & spacious. Comfortable king size bed & little sofa with plenty of space to move & have your stuff! Did not feel cramped at all. Microwave, mini fridge & coffee maker. Bathroom area, awesome, it actually had an exhaust vent, which I feel is rare for hotels now. Definitely returning. We come yearly to Lake Geneva,& it’s rare to find an affordable spot to stay in. This will be our yearly hotel.
