Love that you can play the music in each individual room and control the volume. The bathtub is so fun and the shower has a steamer function. Breakfast was decent and the fireplaces around the property are a nice touch. Wish the front desk staff had been a little more friendly however. They were nice, but cordial. They didn’t acknowledge our anniversary at any point also even though I put it on our reservation which I though was odd. Even just a nice note in the room would have been a nice touch but they didn’t do that. They also basically just handed me a paper with all the amenities rather than explaining everything to us at check in. So in general, I wish the front desk staff were more friendly.

Magnificent! Everything about this hotel is wonderful, it is an underrated, first class, gem. The rates are very reasonable, making it an exceptional value. We stayed at two different hotels on this trip the Genevieve and another, both similarly rated. However, the Genevieve was miles ahead on every level. I’ve stayed at some very fine hotels, in many parts of the world and The Genevieve is right up with the best of them. The nice thing about this hotel, it has all that you would expect from a luxurious, first class accommodation, but without the pretentiousness. It is quiet, comfortable, a place you immediately feel relaxed. The architecture, grounds and interior are beautiful, private and accommodating. The only unfortunate thing, our stay was on the two days The Victor is closed, won’t make that mistake on our next visit.
