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.

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.

We stayed two nights in July 2026 and our experience was much less than hoped for. Immediately…read moreupon arrival, on a Sunday, we were greeted by landscape maintenance workers running leaf blowers, lawn mowers, and all sorts of gas-powered noise-making machines. This was supposed to be our birthday celebration trip, but it gets worse! Next day, around 2 PM, every fire alarm in the building started going off, and continued to go off for the next two hours. We were not forewarned that fire alarms were going to be tested during our stay. Because of the noise, we were forced to go outside, where we were met by more landscapers making noise. To cap things off, a rancid smell became noticeable in the second floor hallway the day we arrived, then got progressively worse, so by the time we departed on the last day it smelled like something had died on the second floor. Other guests staying on the second floor also mentioned their concerns. We left notes for hotel management regarding our displeasure, but received no compensation. We will not be back!

That being said my issue is that ownership has let the place get extremely run down. Both last year and this year we had to switch rooms because of broken tvs, refrigerator, chair, and I couldn't get out of bed because the mattress sloped towards the middle. We were vacationing with 2 small children. The area has nothing to offer people except the pier. I was visiting family and friends

We stayed in the Foote suite, which was decorated in very soft yellow curtains and comforter. It also included two small chandeliers with adjustable lighting. The bathroom looked completely renovated with comfortable tiling and a nice big shower. We also purchased the lunch package which included two sandwiches, a choice of side, water bottles and cookie! 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 would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet get away, or anniversary celebration!

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 property is T-shaped and quite large, this was once a grand place. A Holiday Inn, perhaps? I wound up here because I was on the road, it was late, I was tired, and a Days Inn is usually a good value. This one isn't. It overpriced and underperforming. 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. A sparse continental breakfast is served in what was once a full service restaurant. At least the breakfast area is clean and appears to have recently been refreshed.

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.

Every other hotel in the area as bad and overpriced. Staff are next to useless. If the owner of any Hotel is named Patel, run in the other direction. To be honest, the entire area is run down and getting worse, but this Hotel personifies that as well as anything or anyplace off exit 59.
