I loved this stay but for one thing. No food available for dinner on my 66th birthday because the restaurant was rented out for a wedding. If only I had thought to rent the whole place out in advance I could have eaten here! Being off season there was nothing open on campus so we had to drive for food. Oh well. Apart from that, it was all I remembered. I’d last been here 50 years ago with my now departed parents and wanted to relive it for my 66th. Well, I certainly did that. The property is as beautiful as I remember and the stay comfortable. Highly recommended.

This building gives you a wonderful 19th century feeling. It is located in a beautiful garden. There was even a 25 minutes Saturday night fireworks (provided by a wedding, though).

This is an old Hotel, built 1881, and its’ floors are a bit creaky and uneven. But that adds to the charm. Amazing porches with fantastic views of Lake Chautauqua. Bed was comfortable and room was clean.

Our stay was unique and opened our eyes to an area we've never seen. We enjoy looking at the map and picking places that look different for our overnight stays during road trips that lead us here. Off season for this area made for a great rate. Wonderful time.

Historic beauty, sadly not cared for.
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.
