We did not stay the night. Staff was very rude when I brought up the fact that there was not a lake view like advertised. Room 10 was very small and dark, Small little window you had to stand up and see out. Pretty sure that’s false advertising .

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was recently painted, newer floors, and the vanity and toilet updated. The bed sheets were clean but I immediately removed the bedspread and pillows in shams. The pool was at another hotel. My biggest issue (as a solo female traveler) was the lack of locks on the very lightweight door. There was only a flimsy handle lock. No deadbolt, safety bar/chain, or “peep” hole. Also, there was no one on site overnight. Thankfully I didn’t have any problems but I didn’t feel as safe as I could have.
