Baker House Hotel

A great bed and board. If you want to read an Agatha Christie in style this is the bed and board for you. See a picture of the place. Good location also. We’ll be back

Disappointing The hotel was very noisy and in poor condition. The music downstairs was audible throughout the day, and in the evening and early morning there were very loud footsteps above (it sounded like a child running around). The hotel was dingy and in need of a complete renovation and deep clean. For example, shower grout was missing or moldy in places. I would not recommend this hotel at a budget price, much less at the price we paid which was comparable to a Four Seasons room in my home city.

The property itself was beautiful and so was the room. It was unique, and it felt like I was stepping into a luxury 1800s suite. However, since this is such an old building, you can hear everything from the upstairs. On both mornings that we stayed, we heard every single footstep from the person living upstairs starting at 7am to 8am, until they left. There was no noise insulation, and it was really unfortunate to be woken up every morning because of the very, very thin walls and ceilings. Also, make sure to turn the dial on the wall *off* otherwise music will start playing starting at 8am. We weren’t aware of this and therefore were awoken again at 8am by music. Also your stay may irritate your allergies if you are allergic to dust. But aside from that, the complimentary breakfast was very delicious, the included Sunday brunch was delicious, and the rooms and the house itself was gorgeous. Everyone was also very nice.

We had been looking forward Baker House’s brunch for our 30th anniversary and noted this when making reservation. Basic service was lacking. Had to request plates for croissants. Requested condiment delivered when meal over. Offered deserts were still frozen and lackluster. Food was so-so. Did not acknowledge the occasion even though reservation form specifically asks if it is a special occasion. Management was dismissive when explaining they lost their chef and general manager the night before. Their basic efforts fell significantly short of meeting the mark. Do not recommend.

Restored home with lots of period decor and furnishings. Beautiful views of Lake Geneva. Unique Speakeasy in basement. Very special place updated without destroying period styles.

This hotel was beautiful with a wonderful view of the lake. The unexpected private parking spot and dining table were a plus. Also a wonderful continental breakfast with a view.
