Website said hotel had been "renovated" recently. Definitely was not. The vanity and vanity light had been replaced and that was it. Room wasn't very clean. Dirty fingerprints on the bathroom light switch, cigarette burns in the bed comforter, dead bug on the floor (at least it was dead). This place is a biker bar/hotel. Cops were there several times. Hotel guests above us were very loud. This place was more motel than hotel. The owner was actually really nice but that's about the nicest thing I can say.

Sometimes you find a special little gem and this is one. It's a very nostalgic old time hotel that reminds me of days gone by. With that being said, the facility and rooms have been updated and were very pleasant and clean. The staff checked with us daily to be sure all of our needs were met and if there was anything else they could do for us. My stay was in October and the nights were getting chilly so we had a roaring fire in one of the fire pits while listening to the river below. Guests and staff gathered around and we had a wonderful time chatting and enjoying the company. Then there's the Tiki Bar, what an added bonus. It's located on the property so it's always convenient and the bartenders were friendly and engaging. The food was good, fresh cooked with fast service and we ate there often. The location is close to town and Chimney Rock, Lake Lure and Bat Cave are right there. For us it was the perfect little getaway. I came away from my stay there with new found friendships and I can't wait to go back. Thanks ya'll for a wonderful time.

The rooms had no carpet and have been redone as they were very clean. The heat was only a space heater but had window A/C. No coffee pots in your room. The hotel has an outside pot everyone must share to make individual cups. The Tiki Bar is the only place close by to party and drink. The Kareoke was a lot of fun and the Riverside river was in the backyard-awesome. Come with a fridge/microwave. Loved the view and Tiki Bar most fun.Walking distance to Lake Lure and Chimney shops.

We really enjoyed our stay at Geneva. The manager, Terry and his wife were awesome. Terry went above and beyond for us; he made the house accessible for our son in electric chair! He made a little ramp and it worked perfectly! We were in town for our daughter's wedding at Lake Lure and he let us stay a a little longer after check out to get some beautiful pictures out back by the river...We even booked a return trip for the summer for our annual family vacay. This may be our new vacay spot!!

Very nice for an overnight stay. Rooms were clean and the beds comfortable. They are pet friendly The only issue and it wasnt hotel related was the lack of convenience store or open restaurant. Again not the hotels fault. Only other issue was the hours of the hotel restaurant wasnt posted on the menu in the hotel room.

We stayed in one of the suites (#7 on the end). First the good... The suite is very spacious, has an awesome wraparound deck, and the massive shower was a welcome surprise. The location is top-notch, right in the heart of Chimney Rock Village and very close to Lake Lure's many amenities. The staff we interacted with were friendly.
Onto the bad... We booked the one-bedroom suite so as to accommodate three guests (which was stipulated at the time of reservation). The suite features two double beds in the bedroom and a pull-out sofa in the living room. Sadly, the suite was not equipped with linens or blankets for the pull-out sofa. We did not realize this until we returned to the room late, when the front desk was closed. This meant our friend had to sleep on the sofa itself (with no blanket) rather than enjoying its pull-out functionality. We accept some responsibility for not double checking the linen situation before going out for dinner, but really—should we have to? If you're offering a pull-out sofa, equip the room with the appropriate linens OR double check with the guest at the time of check-in whether linens will be needed so they can be provided right away.
Finally, onto the ugly... the bed closest to the closet in suite #7 has bedbugs or some other unwanted six-legged visitors. One of us was bitten to high heavens with arms and neck covered.
Verdict: great location, spacious, but the beds all need checking, and some attention to detail would go a long way.

This place was a last minute thing. We decided to stay one night in Chimney Rock. They have a fantastic bar on the property. Met some fun people. It is an older hotel, still nice but rather loud. But a fantastic spot for the price and location. So close to the main street of Chimney Rock.

Terry the manager was very friendly and helpful. Loved the tiki bar and pool area. Enjoyed the karaoke. Had a band the 2nd night we were there but did not get back in from dance festival to hear them but thought that was a nice touch. Only small complaint was that the coffee station could have been a little better stocked . Was not enough water for the keuric at one point. Would stay here again and would recommend it

The condition of the outside and parking area is atrocious, the rooms were very nice and the bed was one of the most comfortable I have had at a hotel/motel. The pillows were heavenly. Customer service was sketchy, the staff did not come in until 10 which made getting things fixed difficult. There was no ice bucket in the room and like I said there was no one in the office to request one. This was not a repeatable experience.

We really enjoyed our stay from the friendliness of the staff to cleanliness of the room to sitting around talking with other travelers. If you want quaint, this is the place for you. We would recommend Geneva and would stay there again.

Nice and friendly staff. Older motel with clean rooms. No hot water they were in the process of fixing it they said. TiKi bar was nice staff was great. You can hear what everyone is saying and doing in the next rooms typical of an older motel.

There were loud noises from other rooms until very late. In the morning there were broken glass and empty beer cans everywhere.

We lost power three times during our stay. No one said anything to us about when to expect it back or what had happened. The noise above us. Our first night was extremely loud and carried on until the morning hours of the night. Each day we could hear loud engines going off at all hours of the night through our parking lot at racing speeds. It was impossible to take a shower without getting water all over the floor. We need it to use our towels just to soak up the water.

Great pool and bar area next to the river.

Cozy and clean! Parking can be tight at night if you leave the property and return, but it all worked out! Super nice staff and had a great time at the tiki lounge! They had a live band while we were there! We will definately return sometime!

Room smelled strongly of dog pee. Shore head was very low (we are both about 5’8” and had to stoop or bend to get head under shower head). No electrical outlets available in bedroom. Only outlet available was near the floor in the “closet” area. Could hear person in next room snoring. No cell phone reception in room, but could get reception just outside the door, so the area was not the problem. Room felt like a dungeon.
On the positive side, the room was clean and the manager was nice and friendly.

Great little find. Weekend get away. Right off river. Kayak rental and drop next door. A 2 minute drive to little beach. A 4 minute drive to Chimney Rock Village with great shopping. A tip..... everything shuts down by 930pm. There is an Ingles (grocery store) about 20 minutes just up by Lake House Restaurant which is also very good place to eat!

This is not a good place to stay. Felt very unsafe - dirty conditions - loud people arguing in the next room, all night - paper thin walls.

We rented several rooms, including the house and apartment for the weekend for a family gathering/ birthday celebration! Everybody loved it! Terry and his wife do a great job running the place.

Friendly and accommodating staff. We were late getting in and only staying one night but they kept the restaurant open late for us. The view of the creek and mountains behind was beautiful.

We didn’t like that the tiki bar closes at 9:30 pm and they sell food but heck some people like to stay out little later to have fun. Our bathroom was dirty with dirty rag and used bar soap in shower.

I had an overall pleasant stay! The location was a bit older but everything checked out fine. The tiki bar was odd. I went in and asked for a drink menu and got shots. I asked if they had a general drink menu for mixed drinks and she said "you kinda just tell me what you want and I'll make it. She didn't recommend anything give me any general prices I really had no idea what to order so I awkwardly stood there for a few moments. I went to ask a third queation felt like I was going to get a drink and said "do you have margaritas" surely a tiki bar would. She replied yes and then I thought thank god let me just get that. A general drink menu would be nice....
The hotel was pet friendly so my dog Cozmo was able to join me which was nice. The hotel staff seemed very friendly.
