アテナウム ホテル(Athenaeum Hotel)

The front desk staff were quite friendly and helpful. The bar and food service staff were also personable and helpful. We chose this hotel because my wife stayed here as a child years ago. We were told by others around town that the Athenaeum was last refurbished in 1984. The lobby was refreshed more recently. As other reviewers have stated, if you want to stay at a historic hotel, you'll appreciate the Atheneum, but if you want a pristine room, updated technologies and services, and a diverse menus I'd recommend staying elsewhere. The common spaces at this hotel were in better condition than our room, which had a sloping floor, chipping paint, a stained armchair, and mildew growing on the ceiling in the bathroom. The bed seemed to be memory foam style and a tad soft, but we slept decently. The in-room TV was quite small and did not carry true HD TV. The Wifi was password secured which is so important but very rate in hotels. We had solid connection in the lobby, but it was good to marginal in our room. There was an excessive quantity of spiders and webs on the exterior of the hotel. Not sure why they don't treat for them and remove webs.

Very disappointing. Restaurant was not open, parking for overnight is ridiculously far and ending up walking in the rain in morning to retrieve.

We were glad to be in the annex because there was a wedding reception in the main stay. Clean. Only problem was that some of the wedding guests did stay in the annex and were loud in the hallways after midndight.

The Athenaeum is a Grand Hotel in preventable decline; it badly needs TLC and more inves**ent to repair its rotting infrastructure. On a positive note, the staff was courteous, friendly and efficient.

We enjoyed staying at the historical hotel. I think parking could be better explained and assistance should be available to get you back to your car with all of your bags. We got a ride to the front gate - but ended up walking with all of our bags to our car in the very back parking lot. RIDICULOUS!

It was like going back in time to a simpler but elegant era in history. Great staff.

It was a good place for fall colors viewing. Quiet time of the year.

The hotel was wonderful--staff was so helpful and the environment was quite clean. The only disappoin**ent is that too much plastic was being used by the hotel, e.g., in the morning all utensils at breakfast were plastic. yet on the institute grounds, there are signs and sculptures urging the reduction of plastic because of its damage to the environment. The hotel is not following this vision by throwing away so much plastic. I would encourage the hotel to use china plates (would this not be in keeping with one of the visions of the institute and, be in keeping with the style of the Hotel--classy. You are not the red roof in :-) I hope our next stay at the hotel shows an improvement in this area. Thank you.

Had a really nice stay at this historic hotel by the lake despite it being quite run down. Had a beautiful view from the balcony of our room but didn't want to sit in any of the furniture. Wicker furniture was in bad shape and the seat cushions were all very dirty. Should be replaced with more durable outdoor furniture that doesn't need cushions and could easily be wiped down.The whole hotel is in need of some tlc. Could be so beautiful but money definitely needs to be spent for restoring both the interior and exterior.
