I had recently Dj a wedding here. Staff was perfection!! It's absolutely one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. It would be more than 5 stars in my book!! GREAT JOB Geneva on the lake !!

- Tommy Deredita

Nice but dated rooms. The bathroom faucets and knobs are really cheap. It is only a 5 minute drive to downtown Geneva. The grounds are very well maintained and manicured. The restaurant served very heavy and salty food even in the middle of summer.
