10/10 Excellent
"The property was very well maintained and the staff helpful. The views from outside the hotel were spectacular. Not too far from the town of Lake Geneva. Fontana is a charming small town."

8/10 Good
"There is an extremely hateful, abusive/aggressive energy loaded lady that walks the halls and knocks the doors at checkout time. She will scream in your face and she will tell you that she is calling the cops on you, despite coming into your room without knocking and proceeding to leave door open while you are getting out of shower and your entire body exposed. She will not apologize and she doesn’t have any concern because her son who does reception during 2nd shift is just as belittling and condescending. He will demand your ID and card or payment and then he will throw them back at you through the small chute where things can be exchanged. This man literally flicked/flung my drivers license and my debit card back at me, past me and into the floor. Once again, never apologetic. It’s pretty evident this is a family owned and operated business and it never seizes to amaze me why people don’t go work/find jobs that they find joy in , instead of staying somewhere they are miserable and instead, projecting their unable to adapt energy and fears on everyone else. If you don’t like the public, DONT WORK IN THE PUBLIC. it’s really that simple. Plus, you guys have had the same old sour stiffened dirty random item of clothing in your back entrance area just sitting on top of all those old a/c units since my first time going there months ago! This is a clear sign of cleanliness abandonment. Which is also weird considering you are live-in hotel hosts. Absolutely greedy and lazy."
