The views are great in this historic Inn. Layed back but still classy. Away from the crowds but great dining that adds some fun. Could use a few room convinces and amenities like a working coffee and micro.

Ravi, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

We were attending a wedding at Geneva National, so it was very convenient. But particularly for the whopping $650 we paid, it was VERY underwhelming. Pretty old, and the smoke alarm went off when using a hair straightener! Ceiling fan was very rickety, noisy all night but needed because it was quite hot. Pictures are a bit deceiving, this is not a luxury property.
Laurie, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The staff was very nice and welcoming. The room as very nice and love the porch looking out to the lake. Looking forward to returning soon.

Great service with excellent views

This is a cute on the lake Inn. We went for a girls weekend and had a blast. Dinner at the on-site supper club was outstanding.

6/10 Okay

This property is an old motel that they are remodeling into a cute, more modern lake spot. We got one of the old rooms that had not been remodeled. The air conditioner was extremely loud and would turn off and on. The balcony is a communal balcony that you share with all your neighbors (not ideal). And the water spits out at you due to the inconsistent water pressure. But the worst part was that we had small bugs on our room. We asked to be moved to another room which the staff resisted at first but finally moved us. Our second room was remodeled and much nicer and no bugs!! Overall, it was not even close to worth the $550 a night we paid.
Tyhler, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We love the views and our room was just recently remodeled and it was so nice. The beds were comfortable. Also the price was reasonable especially for the views we had during our stay.. Very quiet as well.

2/10 Terrible

If you’re booking a stay at the French Country Inn based on the photos, prepare yourself for a rude awakening—and perhaps a tetanus shot. What’s advertised as a “quaint lakeside retreat” is, in reality, a dilapidated property. The photos on the website are not just outdated—they’re borderline fraudulent. The rooms look nothing like the filtered, soft-lit marketing images. Instead, think stained carpeting, holes in walls, and bathrooms that feel like they haven’t seen a deep clean or renovation since the Reagan administration. The property itself is in desperate need of maintenance. Peeling paint and bird poop on the stairs, piles of dead bugs along the outside walls make the entire inn feel like it’s been abandoned and reinhabited by someone with no sense of hospitality. Bottom line: The French Country Inn is a textbook case of style over substance. We ended up switching accommodations and spending extra out of pocket because it was so gross.
Piles of dead bugs great you on your way to your room
Gross stained furniture
Piles of bird poop on your way to your room makes you question overall cleanliness
Holes in walls abound

Francisco, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Warning to anyone wanting to book this property on Expedia! We paid an average of $550/night, and Expedia only paid the hotel $319/night! It might not have hurt as badly if we had had a better experience. Everywhere you go, you see things in disrepair. Paint chipping on the outside railings, on the steps and on the furniture in the room. Worn-out rug in front of the main entrance. Both lampshades in our room had holes in them. The screen door barely closed and needed to be replaced. The air conditioner was extremely loud. The floor of the restaurant was filthy, and I had to ask for some napkins to clean off the spider webs next to our table on the balcony. Plus the service was poor.The Expedia listing said we got free breakfast. All we got was $10 vouchers for the first day which barely covered half of the cost of breakfast. We never got our room cleaned because apparently you have to put a sign out which we were not told about. We were later told this was because of the COVID pandemic which,BTW, officially ended more than two years ago! When I called at 3:30 asking to have the room serviced they said the maids left at 4:00, but still never sent anyone to clean the room. I will say the location is great and the view of Lake Como from the room was beautiful, but not worth it at any price. When I spoke to the manager after our stay, he was pleasant and very apologetic, but the best he could offer would be a free one-night stay. And WHY would we possibly want to go back??
Ellen, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The views from room's balcony to Lake Como were exceptional. Staff friendly and accommodating. The only downside was the extremely loud air conditioning unit at night. We would stay here again.
