Harbor Shores on Lake Geneva

Harbor Shores on Lake Geneva

8/10 Good
"The property had a great location for Lake Geneva and was reasonably priced. The room was great with plenty of room and amenities. A negative was that Fox News had no volume on the TV. The only station that didn’t. The staff didn’t seem to care about resolving that problem. That’s like going to a movie theater and watching a movie without any sound and being told you had to pay the full price for the movie, even though you couldn’t hear it. My only complaint."
