First, we had to endure their film about their 30 years in business, how they do everything from scratch, etc. One of the worst experiences ever-first, only get water, tea, coffee-no soft drink. So-called buffet was beef in gravy, seasoned chicken, boiled potatoes, corn, and carrot cake. Everything was either under seasoned or seasoned in such a way that left a bad taste in your mouth. Carrot cake was less than average. That night, I got sick due to the beef I had eaten. The cooks from this company need to learn how to cook properly.

You know how you'll go to a wedding and the food is all right but not really all that special?…read more Those weddings weren't catered by 3C's. We didn't make things easy on them, requesting a good chunk of the menu to be made dairy-free yet we heard compliments on every dish. To be honest they were almost too good as folks kept going back for more instead of dancing! We love this family business that uses home-grown ingredients whenever possible and we'll be looking for their food truck at local events for a long time (we didn't use the food truck at our event but it's a fun surprise every time we see it out in the wild).

This was our third stay at the Athenaeum, and we've now spent the last two years in Suite 8. We've…read morealready booked our return for 2027. Suite 8 has become our favorite room. 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.

Run down. The two…read morestars are for the location. If you're seeing a show here, you're about 20 feet from the hotel. Also, Chautauqua Institute is a lovely place. 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. For two of the crappiest double beds I've ever slept on. All that money is for the location.

The bar at the front was also open for cocktail hour. The rocking chairs on the porch are a nice touch. This hotel makes you feel like you've stepped back in time, truly amazing how much history there is in here. However it definitely needs more love and upgrades, including some critical ADA-compliant updates for their bathrooms. Additionally, I'm unsure how this venue can hold large events without any sort of dedicated parking area, I had to park about a half mile away. This would be a great place to stop if you're already walking around the area, as the bar has a good selection of drinks to choose from, and is open to the public.
