    I have only stayed in this hotel in the dead of winter. There were lots of fun things to do inside of the hotel including a nice bar and restaurant, a second bar with lots of live music and a café. Even the pool has a small bar. The outside areas looked nice but it was way to cold to find out! My only complaint is that the place is really not sound perfect AT ALL. We were out late (since there are so many bars). When people started to wake up in the morning we could hear every room around us, literally you could hear their toilets flush. I heard a baby cry for an hour around 2 AM. And unfortunately, they were also hosting a princess breakfast that morning and there were children screaming and running past our room continuously beginning at about 6 AM. I would definitely stay there again but I would be particular about the room I was put in.

    Beautiful renovated hotel offers a variety of rooms, lakeside and resort view. When you enter the hotel the lobby is expansive, brightly lit, lovingly decorated. My family enjoyed hanging out in the lobby watching sports on the big screen tv and chatting while people watching. Coffee bar offers breakfast and lunch fare at reasonable prices. Crafted restaurant hosts a Friday fish fry,Saturday prime rib and Italian favorites like mushroom arancini, pasta and homemade pizzas. The view from the restaurant overlooking the patio below is beautiful after sunset with thousands of twinkling lights and a large outdoor fireplace. The Ridge Hotel crew is friendly and accommodating.

    Beware...the pictures advertised are deceiving. Frankly, it's false advertising. The lobby looks modern, fresh and clean but that's where it ends. They just slapped paint on the walls and headboards in the rooms which were hardly clean. There were stains on the walls and carpeting and the hallways were also filthy. We didn't even want to put our bags down on anything. And you can hear EVERYTHING!!! Toilets flushing, people in the hallway, dogs constantly barking...it was awful. We booked 4 nights and didn't even stay one night. We left and went to another hotel. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy.

    Short version: Pretty lobby, nice bathrooms, slow service, I wasn't completely wowed. My husband and I stayed 1 night this past weekend. The lobby was very nice and we were helped right away. Our room was clean, and your basic hotel room. I thought the bathroom was nice, but could have done with a nicer shampoo/conditioner, and brighter lights in which to do my makeup. We slept horribly. We could hear every noise, from the person puking all night in the room above us, to the people talking in the hallway. Every toilet flush (and there were a lot!) by the person above us was incredibly loud. My husband eventually downloaded a white noise app on his phone in order to block out some noise. The cafe in the lobby has sandwiches, soup and coffee drinks. My husband and I needed a sandwich before our event, so we walked up to the cafe. The 2 ladies working the cafe were obviously busy changing out the cash drawer, but they didn't even look up to tell us they'd be with us soon. We were literally 2 feet from them, for probably 5 minutes. They just kept talking to eachother and busily working. I finally interrupted to ask for help. Next time I'm in the area, I'll stay somewhere else.

    Genuinely one of the worst experiences I've had at a hotel. We checked in late and got our room keys. One of them didn't work so we figured we'd address it in the morning. Overnight, the light and fan sensor in the bathroom kept going off no matter how many times we clicked it off, so we had to sleep with that on the entire night. I woke up extra early to start getting ready for a wedding I was going to be that day, and the shower wasn't working. Went down to the front desk where the woman at the desk said she'd send maintenance later to check it out. She offered zero alternatives. When I asked what she could do for a solution and asked if we could get a new room with a working shower, she said we could shower in the room across from us, but that they were going to need that room back? It grossly sounded like they weren't going to even clean it once I did shower. Eventually, I just ended up showering at my friends Airbnb where we were getting ready for her wedding. When I was in the shower at the hotel trying to get it to work, there was a huge glob of hair in the corner and pieces of hair all over the shower. I truly don't think it was even cleaned prior to us getting there. My fiancé stayed back at the hotel to get ready for the wedding. There was no iron or ironing board, and maintenance never came. For how much we spent to stay two nights at what's meant to be a "luxury" hotel, this place was absolutely not worth the price. At least the Holiday Inn would have given us an iron and a do not disturb sign.

    Yuck.

    This place is beyond disgusting. I am so sad we are stuck here for 2 nights (we foolishly got a non-refundable reservation). The pics online are extremely deceiving. Before even stepping in the place, we were greeted by an overflowing trash can with garbage also scattered about on the ground. As we entered the lobby I was momentarily relieved. The lobby is so beautiful. I was rapidly brought back to reality as the awkward check in clerk told us -REPEATEDLY- that our room was not ready (it was 2pm) and that they are not guaranteed to be ready until four. " it's not guaranteed that your room will be ready before 4 o'clock and your room is not ready because it is not 4 o'clock and there is a guarantee that rooms will be ready by 4 o'clock, but since it isn't 4 o'clock, your room is not ready and that can be a guarantee" Ummmmm. ok. We never said a word about it. Like we were not arguing or anything. Not a word. Not quite sure where her aggressiveness was coming from. Any way, true to her word, we were not able to check in before 4 (although many people checked in while we waited). No big deal. Policy is policy. And maybe it was the good Lord sparing us from having to stay here an extra 2 hours. The Ridge is so filthy as soon as you get out of the lobby. Dirty q-tip in the hall, the hall smells like pee and dirty feet. Super crowded pool (outsiders can get day passes). One of our beds had wadded up hair tangled in the comforter. There is makeup on one of the pillows. I have never seen so much assorted hair in a hotel shower before. THIS PLACE IS HORRIBLE!!!!! I would ask for a different room, but I don't want to deal with the front desk lady, and by the looks of the rest of the property (inside and out- see attached pics) I figured we were not going to get anything better. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

    The hotel lobby is gorgeous, but that shouldn't matter too much since you're not sleeping there. We got a lakeside King bedroom, but the view was definitely lacking. The hotel is situated on a hill looking down. We really had a view of the outdoor pool more than anything. The bedroom was definitely dated. Signs of deterioration were also prevalent-- chipped paint, holes in the wall, nothing horrendous though. Still perfectly acceptable. The mattress was sturdy, but had a couple of sink holes near the end. The hotel also puts out 5 mini pillows on the bed for you to use at night. They're cute until you actually have to sleep on them. You'll miss regular sized pillows, trust me. You will also notice a lack of easily accessible outlets. The only two that were usable were from the lamp on the desk. Gone is the convenience of charging your phone next to you as you sleep. My least favorite experience was actually trying to iron my clothes for a dinner reservation we had. The iron barely got hot and hardly put out any steam. The ironing board itself was also miniaturized and had to be laid on the bed for use. Again, the outlet problem came into play. I had to move the mattress to unplug the clock radio in order to use the iron. Overall, the hotel was okay. The desk staff were friendly and the check in process was quick. I did not get to explore the spa or other outdoor amenities.

    The Ridge Spa review: This is a review of the spa only. We did not stay at hotel. We were just going to check out the spa. I wish we didn't and kept with other spas in the area. The photo below is the locker room and that was probably the nicest area of the spa. To say it was old, run down and probably a health department issue would be an understatement. I don't understand why the hotel would renovate but not update the spa as well. The services were just okay, nothing special but not horrible. There are much much better spas in the area. I would never go back to this place.

    Does this hotel have a 2 night minimum stay? If so, is the minimum year round, or seasonal?

    I had a reservation in early November for only one night. A minimum might be necessary only seasonally.

    Don't let the name fool you. 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.
