What guests think

A budget-friendly, family-run motel delivering very clean, simple rooms and friendly service, Geneva Wells Inn earns praise for a convenient base near Lake Geneva, comfortable beds, and practical amenities like an outdoor pool, grills, and easy parking.

Rooms are basic or older in style, though some are updated, with tile floors and occasional kitchenettes or Roku TVs. Repeated concerns include fluctuating shower temperatures, occasional strong cleaning odors or musty smells, and a dated feel; a few guests also found prices high for what is offered and noted exterior stairs with no elevator. The location is a short drive from downtown rather than walkable, in a generally quiet area. Expect a clean, no-frills stay with warm service and useful outdoor amenities.

We enjoyed the room very much. Super clean. I could smell the cleanliness as soon as I walked in.. The king size bed was very comfortable. The pool was nice and clean. House cleaning even came in while we were gone and made our bed and dumped trash. Theres only one thing I would liked to have and thats a comfortable chair to sit in the room and i feel 2 chairs should have been available outside since we liked sitting outside and there was only one. But this is minor things. The owner was super nice! Loved the non slip mat in tub. Good shower

From the pictures on their website, it looks like you can see the lake from their property. I have to say the pool was very nice. The girl that checked us in was very nice, but it is a tiny little entranceway no elevator so we had to carry everything up the stairs And I did assume it was closer to town than it was. I just didn’t feel they should be posting pictures of downtown Lake Geneva, when that is not their property. The room was clean and very pleasant. The ice machine was not working and the temps were in the 90s so that was a little frustrating. All in all, I was not real happy for the price

It was my first time in this model. It was off-season. There was ample parking. The grounds were large and well-maintained. I came back to Lake Geneva after 15 years. I used to stay there several times a year. Everything was well-maintained and well-thought-out. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Two things bothered me: the first was the smell in the room. Unfortunately, I'm allergic to chemicals, and you could smell them constantly. Two universal TV remotes. Only the power and volume controls worked. Best regards, Dariusz.

The floors are tile which automatically feel much more clean than carpet. The room was clean and spacious. Location is great and a quiet area. The outdoor pool and lounge area was excellent! A huge yard for the kids to play wiffle ball. We would definitely stay here again!

Floors were extremely dirty. Swept clean but not mopped and going barefoot to use restroom made my feet almost black! Also bath tub faucet didn’t work right, you got cold or scalding hot! Mattress and pillows were nice. Without the air running, street noise was loud.

The location of the Inn was excellent! The room was updated and very clean. The only negative remark I have, was that while taking a shower, the water fluctuated from comfortable to extremely hot, then to extremely cold after about 2 minutes. Other than that, the service was great! My wife and I will definitely stay there again as well as recommend this location to our friends and family.

It is a very nice motel. The gentleman who checked me in was very nice. The room is very comfortable though the mattress may be ready for an upgrade. I do notice more noise as the room is street level. Have not heard anything from the rooms around or above me.

From the outside, looked very hole in the wall, but looks can be deceiving. Staff was very professional, friendly & welcoming (we ended up arriving around 1030p). Room on 2nd floor, not bad of a walk up the stairs. Room, so nice & spacious. Comfortable king size bed & little sofa with plenty of space to move & have your stuff! Did not feel cramped at all. Microwave, mini fridge & coffee maker. Bathroom area, awesome, it actually had an exhaust vent, which I feel is rare for hotels now. Definitely returning. We come yearly to Lake Geneva,& it’s rare to find an affordable spot to stay in. This will be our yearly hotel.
