The hotel rooms were clean and small, overlooking the water, providing a peaceful and quiet stay. The service was excellent, with valet parking and a complimentary bottle of red wine. The location was amazing with relaxing rocking chairs overlooking the lake. The dining experience was fun with a nice variety of pastries and good coffee/teas. Overall, a worth-it stay with some room for improvement in dining quality.

The hotel had average-sized rooms that were peaceful and quiet, although lacking artwork on the walls and a three-prong wall plug. The service was friendly and accommodating, mainly provided by college students who varied in their level of training. The location was amazing with rocking chairs overlooking the lake but management needed to focus on educating the wait staff. The dining experience at the Athenaeum was fun but had decreased in quality. Overall, the hotel offered a classic vibe with refreshing cocktails on the wooden porch facing Lake Chautauqua.

The hotel has an amazing location with rocking chairs overlooking the lake and close proximity to attraction areas. The rooms are very small, but clean and well-maintained. The service can be hit or miss with primarily college students, but they were extremely helpful and friendly. The dining experience at the Athenaeum was impressive with a nice variety of options but has declined in quality over the years.

I had a fantastic stay at the hotel, with a great location near the lake and attractions. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but could use some art to liven them up a bit. The service was mostly good, with accommodating staff, but they seemed a bit inexperienced at times. The dining experience was fun, offering a variety of dishes, but some felt the quality had declined. Overall, it was worth the stay.

The location was amazing, with rocking chairs overlooking the lake, right next to Chautauqua's famous amphitheater. It's worth the stay for the proximity to attractions and the ease of access around the grounds.

The hotel had good facilities, including valet parking and a welcome drink. However, there were suggestions that the management should focus on educating the wait staff a bit more.

Staying at this hotel was a mix of good and not-so-good experiences. While the rooms were small, clean, and well-kept with a lovely updated bathroom, the lack of a three-prong wall plug was inconvenient. The service was a hit or miss due to the college student staff, but they were responsive and even went the extra mile by offering a complimentary bottle of red wine. The location was excellent, with beautiful views overlooking the lake and easy access to attractions. On the downside, the hotel seemed a bit worn out despite being in a charming old setting on the grounds.
