Nice place, we had the lake front view rooms, relaxing setting on the deck looking over Lake Erie, great location, definitely recommend.

The property was clean and location was great! To walk out of our room and be greeted by a view of the lake was so beautiful. Would stay again.

We go there every year for the last 10 years. It has always been really nice the view of the beach the pool included but they don’t have microwaves only down fall

We were lucky to get a room facing the lake. Beautiful view. There are chairs outside the door to sit and enjoy the breeze and view.

It was okay. Just manage expectations.

Eh. Kind of a trashy motel vibe, but it was clean. Don’t get too excited about the beach. It’s really underwhelming. If you don’t mind company, you can enjoy the waves from the porch. Right on the strip, so good if you like nightlife.

Needs renovation of Hot Water Heater/Air Condioner

Air conditioning unit was noisy and kept me up all night. Took a shower anf there was little to no hot water. Tepid at best!

Don’t book here

The motel is no frills and I wasn’t expecting much but this place needs TLC and while yiu have an older motel there’s no reason for it not to be clean. As soon as we walked in there’s a huge spider we with bugs in it by the door. There were bugs in the shower as well. There’s a window with no covering in it that everyone walks by and an outside light so my husband used 2 hangers and pillow shams to cover it for privacy and to block the light. It is right on the water but not pretty due to trash. I will not stay here again the price was too high for what you get.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time. There is clean, quiet right next to the water had a beautiful view of the sunset from our room and plenty of places to go out during the day shopping to the restaurants or at night they had a lot of fun things to do.

I love this place , we’ve stayed here multiple times now and will be back next summer as well. Walking distance to everything , located right on the strip!! The lake view absolutely gorgeous and being able to sit right at the water makes this place a true little gem. Reading some of these not so great reviews I think “these people can’t be talking about the same place” lol - it has the older decor vibe and that’s what Geneva is all about. I highly recommend!!!

2/10 Poor

Extremely Disappointed

Extremely disappointed. Check in at a different hotel 2 blocks away. Website showed lakefront with balcony. Did not receive that. Our view consisted of the parking lot. Could barely fit our vehicle in the parking lot it was so small.Website showed a pool. Again, you had to walk 2 blocks to a different hotel for the pool. No attendant at the hotel. Called because Direct TV was not working, couldnt get anyone to answer until 2 days later after we had left and we already home. Asked if we needed something. Website advertised a private beach. It was the size of a small room in a house. And access was extremely unsafe. Railing was not anchored and moved a lot. Someone could get very hurt. I absolutely would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Will be posting on Social media all the untruths on this website and the false advertising about it.
Timothy, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very quiet. Convenient to walk to the park and the strip. Easy access and parking. No frills but very nice, clean, basic room with everything in working condition. Just what I wanted.
Mary, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very nice spot for the price. The room was clean and comfortable and everything was in walking distance to GOTL offerings. A tad loud at times due to motorcycles, but that is beyond the control of the hotel and their staff. Also parking in the hotel lot can be tight, so expect to have to find street parking.
Tyler, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location, perfect lake views. This is an older motel. It shows its age. The door seals look like they should have been replaced years ago. Bugs get in through the cracks. But the management has updated the interiors of the rooms. There are newer floors, fresh paint, the mattress was very comfortable and it was spotlessly clean. Overall I would recommend it for people who are not picky. The views are really outstanding and everything in GOTL is in walking distance. Some pointers - There is no pool on site. You can walk down the street to tge sister motel for their pool. Parking is tight, make sure you are good at reversing. The "beach" is subjective. You can access the water from the stairs, but there is no place to really sit. There is no office or staff to talk to other than housekeeping. You revieve a text with a door code. For my husband and I, it was worth it and we would go back at that price point.

It was old and outdated but we only stayed for one night so it was fine with us.

Perfect except for the nats

Room was infested with nats. Hotel staff cleaned the room but woke up to the same thing. Couldn't even shower in the morning.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This hotel could get 5 stars with just a bit of care. We noticed the “for-sale” sign out front, so hoping maybe new owners will take some time to polish up the place and take advantage of the potential it has. If we are ever back in GOTL, we would consider staying here again. POSITIVES: Adorable beachy theme, quite roomy, clean & comfy. There were 2 chairs provided outside of the room to sit and enjoy the sunrise and sunset each day. Hotel is close enough to walk to the main strip but far enough away from the crowds to enjoy the quiet calmness of the water. OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVEMENT: There was a sign instructing guests to park within the lines. However, the spaces are so narrow that there is no way to park within the lines or get in/out of vehicle. We were forced to park on the street if we were lucky enough to find a spot nearby. The stairs leading down to the lakeside rooms are treacherous, steep, with a useless handrail. The shower curtain rod was broken so it was just laying on top of the shower walls and kept falling off when you moved the curtain. There were not enough outlets in the room for c-pap or charging devices. The one available outlet was missing an outlet cover. The bed could have used some non-slip pads under the feet to keep it from sliding across the hard floor whenever you leaned on it. The worst thing was the bugs-we couldn’t turn any lights on without the bugs congregating above it on the ceiling.
