Pros: It is extremely close to everything. The pool is very nice. I loved that frozen drinks were by the pool. Extremely relaxing outside. Cons: The pillows to the bed were extremely comfortable; however the bed was extremely uncomfortable. I felt like i could feel the box spring & extremely noisy just by sitting on the bed. The dishwasher had dirty dishes in it. The bathroom was disgusting. There was hair all over the bathroom floor, in the shower & on the walls. It makes me question if the bathroom was even cleaned. There are NO safes in the rooms to put your valuables. The bed is right next to the door as soon as you walk in. The air conditioner is on the opposite side of the whole room in the living room. It was very hot on some nights. The air conditioner really needs to be closer to the bedroom. The remote barely worked as the batteries were dying. When you call down; it takes a long time to get someone. Staff double booked my room & stated it was a management error. By hauling all my luggage & them double booking my room; i had to cancel my dinner rvsp. It wasted an hour & 20 min of my trip. I feel some staff members were attentive to the guest & others i felt didnt care about their customers. I could tell certain staff members sincerely care. I was extremely disappointed with this trip. It wasnt what i was expecting. I hope they do better or they might lose excellent clients.

We stayed in an anchor suite. For our wedding anniversary. The bed is right when you walk in and we need to sleep more cold. The air unit was across the room, there for we didn’t sleep well. We were warm and heard people above us walking around all night. It wasn’t quiet. The bed was uncomfortable. The coffee maker was broke, the carpet was gross, the closet door was hanging off, my husband fixed it. There was dirty dishes in the dishwasher. The pool outside had dirty water, lots of leafs, bugs and wrappers in the water. Definitely wasn’t what we expected. Pretty disappointed.

The location of this property is fantastic as very central to water and to the main part of town. However, we were quite disappointed in the service and quality of the hotel given the price. We were 2 hours early to check-in, which was no issue and the woman at the counter said she would call when the room was ready as we flew in from London. We did not hear from the hotel and at 4pm (check in time) we were told our room had been ready since 3pm but we did not get a call. Then in the room, we had a remote no batteries, dirty dishes and when we opened up the sofa bed we found dirty/stained bedding on the bed and we had to make up our own sofa bed. It was terrible. I would be leary of staying here in the future.

Great

Great location. Adjacent to a nice creek where kids can float and a nice park with playground equipment. Close to lake and downtown shops. Friendly staff. Best pools (indoor and outdoor) in Lake Geneva. TVs in both rooms with many channels. Room (140 an Anchor Studio Suite) starting to show its age - especially the bathrooms. Both were very roomy but had extremely small pop-in, one-piece showers (no bathtubs). No way to avoid getting your head wet if you only wanted to wash your body and not your hair. Sleeper sofa was very uncomfortable and when opened up blocked access to 1/3 of the living room area.

Room still had previous people's leftover food in the refrigerator. Bathroom had hair all over the toilet. Whirlpool inside did not work and was filthy both days. We checked in at 4 and our room was not ready until 5:30. We had a boat tour reservation that we missed because we needed to get into our room first. Money was lost. Would not stay here again.
