    Great food. Great service. Great location. Check out my pics for the menu. I wonder if they use local fish?

    ABC Salad with Grilled Chicken
    Lara T.

    We ordered lunch from this spot to enjoy at the beach with my family, and overall, it was a great experience. Here's what we tried: * ABC Salad with grilled chicken- A perfect blend of flavors and textures! * Curd Is The Word- A must-try for any cheese lover. * Flower Power- We got the sweet flavor, and I thought it was absolutely delicious. * Chik Bites- My husband wasn't a fan of this one. * Prime Time- Unfortunately, this wasn't available because the restaurant forgot to turn off the prime rib while cooking. The staff was very friendly, and despite the minor hiccup, I'd definitely order from them again!

    Chik Bites with these sauce sweet sauce.
    Sharon P.

    This is by far the best burger in the Lake Geneva area. Perfect char on edges of the patties. Nice cheese/meat ratio. Great pickles too! Amazing burger! We tried the chik bites with the sweet sauce and they were great too. We have had the cheese curds on a stick and the Fried Funguys and they are both pretty awesome too. The menu is pretty unique for a bar. I need to try more items, but I keep getting the burger!! Consistently awesome food! Service is great too! Kind of like a "Cheers" atmosphere!

    Bloody Mary with Lakefront Brewery chaser.
    Alison Z.

    My brother in law recommended that I would love their Bloody Mary and he was right!! Where we are from you aren't served a beer chaser! But love the idea. My husband had Lakefront Brewery IPA that was very good. Live music and a great vibe! We didn't eat because we already had plans, but their menu looks great!!

    Double cheeseburger with Old Bay seasoned fries.
    Andy R.

    Papa's got a brand new bag, full of pub food! Burgers, chicken, falafel, salads, and other simple but tasty choices. The locals crave the burger and house made chips. Felt like a cozy place for meeting your local friends. Not pretentious or yupster, a good thing in my opinion. Stephanie was an excellent server, much appreciated!

    Grand Geneva is a great golf course and conference resort. It has multiple buildings and room…read moreoption with plenty of parking. Although the name has Geneva in it, it is not on Lake Geneva and Lake Geneva is a ride away. The two golf courses are expansive, challenging but satisfying. The staff is skilled in running an outing and event. Onsite restaurants are legit. We've been to the steakhouse and the Italian restaurant, both are good. Make reservations if you don't want to wait. The rooms are not expansive but they are adequate. Our needs were met. Staff is helpful and professional.

    We spent three nights at the resort for Labor Day weekend with our family which included 5 adults…read moreand one baby. We had two Villa rooms, a two bedroom and a studio. While the resort was nice, the rooms were old and not what we expected for the price we paid. Upon entering our rooms, the studio had a strong gas like smell. (There was also a carbon monoxide monitor on the fireplace mantel which was not in any other room). When we called the front desk, they said they would send someone but did not know when they would come. After over an hour of not being able to use the room, we returned to the front desk and they were able to move our rooms to another building of Villas. (I do want to commend the manager - Corie, as she went above and beyond to assist with the move). As said above, the new rooms were fine, but not what we would expect for the price we paid. In the new studio room, the safe had a low battery, so we could not use it. There were no towels and we had a hard time getting towels to use at the pool. We had to use towels from our other Villa. The hand held shower head was broken, as was the foot rest in the shower. Housekeeping was also very difficult as no one told us that you must request housekeeping 24 hours prior to the need. The two bedroom villa was a bit better, with only a few bathroom issues including a tub with a broken stopper and a downstairs bathroom door which sticks, not allowing the person to exit. In addition, we were never able to get the crib and highchair we requested. The villas have a higher resort fee, and I am not sure what this provides. The food in the restaurants was fine, though seemingly short staffed for a busy holiday weekend. The rewards program they tell you about is very confusing. No one explains it and it is truly useless. Upon check out, the manager on duty was very helpful and apologized for our troubles. He did provide a partial refund on our rooms which was very appreciated. The Grand Geneva is described as a luxury resort. I would not consider the rooms and amenities to be luxurious. We will definitely return to Lake Geneva, but would not return to the hotel..

There are 3 tiers to Geneva National Resort; base for adventure is 5…read moremiles down the road, the ultimate retreat suites, don't know where those are at, and multi bedroom cottages, which seem to be on the golf course grounds. We thought that all three were on the actual golf course property. We ended up staying at the lodge. And when it says base for adventure, it is just base. It's a hotel room with a fancy name. Our room had 3/4 of a roll of toilet paper, for a 3 1/2 day "resort" stay, no hand soap, and for two of us 1 ounce of shampoo and 1 ounce of body wash, PLUS NO t.v. Remote anywhere. When I went to the front desk to let them know, they told me they would bring me a TV remote the next day. That was unacceptable. I said you have 20 minutes. And they did bring one within 20 minutes. Yes you can call room service to have them bring you more shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toilet paper, but shouldn't it already be there? The front desk was extremely accommodating but why do I have to ask ?? For the price we payed for the Stay & Play golf outing, we've stayed at BestWesterns that were much more accommodating & clean. Our bathroom wall had toothpaste splatter ???? Needless to say, we won't be back. On a more positive note the golf course crew was absolutely amazing! But I'm not traveling 8 hours to sleep in a "hotel room" at a facility that is labeled as a resort.

Geneva Inn refused to refund our deposit because we did not cancel 72 hours prior. Terrible policy. How could we possibly anticipate my husband becoming sick ? We have been at this Inn before but will never book there again. Very bad decision on their part.

    This is our second time here over the years. I doubt we will be back. So many things wrong here…read more 1) Our room for one night (lake view) was $396 with taxes and fees. For that price this better be a 4 star hotel - it isn't. 2) They put a $300 hold on our card for "incidentals". $300!!!! 3) We were told and given a card that said it's "bug" season and to keep all doors closed. Didn't matter, we never opened ours and there were bugs everywhere 4) The TV was ridiculously small, had a remote from 1980 the size of a brick, had no cable, and no app access to do anything with. Awful 5) The porch was dirty and parts of the molding were rotting away. Not like we went out due to the bug warning, but it was too filthy to contemplate sitting in. Very bare and boring. 6) The decor is all over the place. Black faucets for the sinks, chrome for the shower, satin nickel for doorknobs, and some ghastly gold rings for the ceiling lights from the 70s. Whomever did this must have used spare parts from somewhere else. No consistency at all. 7) The girl at the check in counter hated her job. Clearly evident. Even said the incidental hold was for if we destroy something. I'm 55 - what is this college? 8) Check in is a crazy 4pm. Checkout is 11am or $50/hour penalty. You're getting only 19 hours of time. 9) You don't so much as get a bottle of water in the room or a salt packet for the tub so bring your own. That $1 it would cost the hotel would be nice I'm sorry Geneva Inn - you're dated, old, and worthy of a 2 star hotel. Having a good view is not worth the cost here or your hidden fees.
