We couldn't have been more pleased with the ambience, comfort, food, and hospitality offered by Martin and Phillip. This is an elegant, first class, traditional Bed & Breakfast with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The mansion is less assuming on the outside than the White Inn, which I've stayed at many times before, but is much classier, far more comfortable, and much higher quality. Martin and Phillip create a peaceful and cozy home away from home with glowing fireplaces, soft music, bottomless cups of tea/coffee, and impeccable and creative Farm to Table meals that alone make the stay worth your while. If you are looking for an elevated experience to rest your soul and lift your spirits, you need not look any further than this quaint and charming treasure.

Although our server was pleasant, the service was extremely slow. We were rarely checked on and were never asked if we wanted additional drinks or anything else. Our food arrived over an hour after we were seated, and everything was cold. I ordered the pork belly, which was tough and chewy, almost like leather. My entrée was so overly salty that it was completely inedible. My wife ordered the signature dish Lamp Lighter Chicken; the potatoes were also excessively salty, and the chicken itself was very dry. We informed our server, and while my entrée was comped, the manager never came to our table to apologize or even acknowledge the issues. I've been dining at the White Inn for many years, but sadly, this was my first and last visit under the new ownership.

Starting with the uncomfortable bed which you can feel the springs on the mattress. As far as housekeeping is concerned, it is not done regularly like most hotels. You have to request it the day before. Even when you request it, they don't come. We had to request clean towels at the front desk because they never came to our room. Never tried their breakfast as this place doesn't look clean enough for me to eat whatever they had. To top it off, I totally understand marijuana is legal but I shouldn't have to smell it when I'm walking towards my room. This place looks like a shelter than a hotel. Do extensive research if you're visiting your college kid b4 booking here because this place is just not good.

The only thing positive is they don't have bed bugs! The pictures shown were all left over after housekeeping supposedly cleaned the room before we arrived. Mold doesn't form over night! The rooms are filthy! The hot tub has been closed for years, despite it being listed on their amenities. We come out here often to see family, after continued filthy rooms at all the hotels in the area which mind you are owned by the same family so they are all the same! We have decided to stay in Buffalo NY or Erie PA and drive the hour in! It suck but at least you will have a decent stay and won't be staying in squalor! Shame on the owners and the staff for letting the only hotels in this town look like this! Mind you the owner has pulled up in a Lamborghini to fill vending machines! So money isn't an issue!

Average hotel, you get what you pay for, can't really complain much. What I will complain about though, is that the lady at the front desk was not very knowledgeable about the rooms. We requested a room with USB charging ports (which is pretty common in hotel lamps), only to go up to the room and find out there was no USB charging ports. It was also apparently one of the newer renovated rooms, yet there were stains on the floor. We immediately went back down to change rooms and got an older room, but at least cleaner, however still no USB charging. Other than that, there's nothing else I can complain about. The beds were decently comfortable, you have toiletries like shampoo, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, lotion all available in the bathroom, and you can call room service for extras. They however do not have slippers. There's also an ice bucket in the room to get ice from the ice machine, which is on every floor, along with vending machines. However there's only one water fountain, which is on the first floor. There is also a coffee machine with coffee and tea packets in the room. There is a closet by the door with a small safe. The TV also works fine. I believe they also have a pool and gym that we didn't visit. The continental breakfast (free) was small but acceptable, as you get what you paid for. They have things like toast, waffles, eggs, sausages, fruits, coffee, milk, cereal, juice. The dining area is quite nice, with a view of Lake Erie. The best part is probably the free parking and no absurd fees (at least when I visited). Overall, very decent hotel for the price. They just need to work on training the workers better, and maybe switching lamps with USB ports.

It also included everything you need for the beach; towels, chairs, umbrella, blankets and books! We loved our lunch and looking for sea glass.

We arrived right at 3 for our check in and received a warm welcome from Lesley complete with a review of the property and tour of the space. Very helpful to know where everything is right away! Plus - a welcome cocktail and sweet bread was waiting for us! Delicious! The room: we stayed in La Due, which had an amazingly comfortable king bed, ceiling fan, and tub/shower combo. No detail goes unnoticed in the room, the towels are soft and match the floor rugs beautifully. Robes are available for guests and plenty of outlet space for charging is around the room. A note to visitors: the shared refrigerator for guests is only a mini-fridge, so there isn't much storage space. We'd suggest planning ahead and bringing a cooler for any larger items you wanted to store - or calling ahead to see about options. When we wanted to chill champagne, Lesley was wonderful to assist us with an ice bucket and two glasses! I highly recommend a trip here - friendly, relaxing, and so comfortable!

The carpet in the corridors is the first clue that you picked the wrong place, but my room was good sized. The "art" consisted of posters stuffed into frames. The bathroom was old (when was the last time you saw three knobs in a bathtub?) but it was very clean. There are no appliances.

It has its own private entrance and porch, and it's located right next to the Amphitheater. One of our favorite parts of the week is sitting on the porch in the evening and listening to the concerts without ever leaving the room. We still love the Athenaeum for its history, charm, and unbeatable location. Being able to purchase our Chautauqua gate passes through the hotel is another nice perk. They're printed and waiting for us when we check in, making arrival quick and easy. So why did I lower my rating from five stars to four? Housekeeping has changed noticeably since our first visit. During our week-long stay, the room was never actually cleaned. Towels were replaced and the trash was emptied, but the floors weren't cleaned, the bed linens weren't changed, and the room was never refreshed beyond the basics. We also ran into a maintenance issue. Although the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash dispensers in the shower were full, none of them worked. We ended up buying shampoo and conditioner from the Plaza store and relying on the bar soap provided by the hotel. Neither issue ruined our stay, and we'll absolutely be back. But for a hotel of this caliber, I expect housekeeping and basic room maintenance to be better than what we experienced this year.

The room: peeling wallpaper, chipped paint, cracks in the floor and cracks in the ceiling, and floors so warped it's like a little skate park. The shower is small and dingy, also unlit. There's a light over the sink, but it's doesn't really reach the shower, especially with the shower curtain closed. The concert let out around 10:30, and we took a stroll around the grounds to skip rocks and look at constellations. When we got back to the hotel, bar closed. 11 on a Saturday night. Also no food to be had. Sunday morning continental breakfast was paltry at best. Even the coffee sucks, watery and tasteless. All this for the bargain price of about $400/night.
