Guest Reviews

We had such an amazing stay at Geneva on the Lake! I’d seen mixed reviews online, but honestly, it was way better than I expected. The whole vibe of the place is just so charming and unique. Our room was super cozy and way more spacious than I thought it would be. The scenery around the property is gorgeous—perfect for unwinding and just taking in the Finger Lakes area....See More

My wife and I had a great time at Sunday Brunch. The food was phenomenal and the service was great. We will definitely be booking another brunch there soon. The live jazz was a great addition to the atmosphere. My wife posts a lot of social media content for businesses and she’ll be posting our experience in the days to come on her Instagram page. Thank you again Geneva...See More

This is a beautiful place right on the water. It is originally a monastery, turned into hotel restaurant. The staff, our excellent rooms are beautiful and the menu is quite good. I highly recommend this place here in the Geneva area.
