The French Country Inn

Nice cosy room. Quite place good for relaxing.

Nice location close to downtown Lake Geneva without the crowdedness of being right in; beautiful buildings & rooms overlooking the lake; very clean; staff very friendly; restaurant on-site was excellent; comfortable mattress

My only complaint were the pillows on the bed- small in size and no firmness to them at all

Rehab needed. Peeling paint everywhere. Extremely small bathroom without a single hook to hang clothes.

Peeling paint

The property is charming. It's been several years since we stayed here last. Was sorry to hear room behind the staircase in the lobby is no longer used to relax in with tea & cookies. Breakfast menu extensive and the staff are friendly and helpful. THE BIG SURPRISE was 25% service charge added to the bill. If I hadn't noticed I would have left a 50% gratuity! WoW! Arianna was a Great server and no doubt would have been deserving of it, but, that was REALLY SNEAKY!!! We had not seen that anywhere before! And we live in downtown Chicago! Aside from that we like the balcony and the lakeview...the renovated rooms. See below what we didn't like about them.

1st>The SOFT Water! 2nd>We were not made aware that you must key lock when leaving! Other hotels you just close the door. 3rd>Hangers are non-removable and our open closet was so high up. Made it difficult to hang anything. 4th>We were in room 106. All outside doors had room numbers at eye level. Ours was nowhere to be found! Wait a minute! There it is up near the ceiling! Caused confusion trying to find the room. 5th>Room lighting at night it TERRIBLE! Ceiling and wall lights are SO BRIGHT!! No way to turn off except to get up and hit the switch, Desperately needs some soft light lamps. 6th>going back to breakfast...could have sworn property said breakfast was included...To us it was a Bait & Switch to get $10 coupons TOWARDS BREAKFAST...I see..it would have bought a continental one with those.
