This hotel could get 5 stars with just a bit of care. We noticed the “for-sale” sign out front, so hoping maybe new owners will take some time to polish up the place and take advantage of the potential it has. If we are ever back in GOTL, we would consider staying here again. POSITIVES: Adorable beachy theme, quite roomy, clean & comfy. There were 2 chairs provided outside of the room to sit and enjoy the sunrise and sunset each day. Hotel is close enough to walk to the main strip but far enough away from the crowds to enjoy the quiet calmness of the water. OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVEMENT: There was a sign instructing guests to park within the lines. However, the spaces are so narrow that there is no way to park within the lines or get in/out of vehicle. We were forced to park on the street if we were lucky enough to find a spot nearby. The stairs leading down to the lakeside rooms are treacherous, steep, with a useless handrail. The shower curtain rod was broken so it was just laying on top of the shower walls and kept falling off when you moved the curtain. There were not enough outlets in the room for c-pap or charging devices. The one available outlet was missing an outlet cover. The bed could have used some non-slip pads under the feet to keep it from sliding across the hard floor whenever you leaned on it. The worst thing was the bugs-we couldn’t turn any lights on without the bugs congregating above it on the ceiling.

Sucks

Zero handicap parking. Staff were completely unresponsive. Could not use pool as there is no pool on site. It’s at their ‘sister location’ .4 miles down the street. Super ableist. No one answers the phone. It would be whatever if it was $80/ night, but it’s not. It’s loud, across the street from a loud bar. Parking spaces are too small. You couldn’t pay me to stay again. Pics are completely deceptive. It’s not on the water as it appears.

Good location. Property is poorly maintained. Lots of bugs inside of rooms (mainly spiders.) Proper door sweeps and door maintenance would rectify this issue. Lots of items that need to be plugged in, but rooms have nearly no outlets. Room needs to be better maintained and up-kept overall.

Parking was terrible. Spaces were so small, it was painted for golf cart parking, not for vehicles. We had to walk down steep stairs with hand rails way too low, it did not feel safe at all. 7 digit code for door? Ridiculous. I paid for a “Lakefront” room, but out the front door of our room was nice view of the neighbor’s house next to the motel, had to make a turn walk to the end of deck to see the lake, that was a flat out lie. Especially after seeing there were actual LAKEFRONT rooms available. About 2:30 in the morning, awaken by people screaming and hollering in the lake/beach. 4 drunk college kids playing in the lake. Then in about 5 am, the front door swung open and woke me up. I went out to see there were 3 people by the lake smoking pot. There was no safety chain lock on the door and wonderful beam of light coming in between the door/jam gap, letting light and bugs in the room. There was no hair dryer, no microwave, no open outlets to plug in anything. Hotel manager calls to scream and yell on the phone for "throwing" towel at the housekeepers???!! When they came knocking to clean the room, I just asked for fresh towels and gathered the used ones by the front door to receive the clean ones. Manager had no skills or training to deal with customers. Place was very cheaply built, not maintained, not cleaned, bugs everywhere in the room by hundreds, no security, very poor standards. Avoid Pete's trash hole, avoid Geneva on the Lake. Not worth a visit.

Could be really nice

So it’s a pretty nice view and deck the room was super clean. But the beach area and patio were dirty. Put a broom in the room for ppl since there’s a beach out front and clean up the beach are this would not take long it would be free to do and would make big improvement and get hot water for crying out loud
