Alton Vacations from $642

Beautiful Victorian house just 2 miles from downtown Canadaigua NY and the lake. Outdoor sitting gardens are perfect for relaxing. This house and all the rooms are exquisite. Although we didn't have the breakfast, we were told by other guests that it's simply amazing.

I liked the sleek and fashionable look of the lobby. There were numerous sofas and seating areas and an attractive bar too (where we had delicious soups). The exercise room and pool were very nice and wish we'd had time to use them. The downstairs restaurant was nice for breakfast. Plenty of charging stations for our phones. My only criticisms - there was very inadequate lighting in our room! There was a lamp next to each bed and a pole lamp in the corner. There was no overhead light. I looked all over, thinking I was not locating the switch. A glance at the ceiling confirmed that there were no lighting fixtures up there. Hard to check out your outfit in the very nice mirror with only the shadowy light from those three wimpy lamps. Also there was no ventilation in the bathroom, resulting in a very steamy situation in there after a shower. At first I thought there were no drinking cups but I later found them next to the water bottles sitting on the chest. Small niceties like a pad of paper and a pen would have been useful.

When we arrived the front desk attendant wasn’t there, had to get him out from the back. He seemed unimpressed to be disturbed. There seemed to have been some issue with his system which he didn’t care to explain to us. Minimal communication on his end. The room was musky and couldn’t be aired out. The breakfast was terrible, there was no food replenished, when asked for more items, the staff kind of shrugged it off. The area was dirty and staff looked disheveled. Unpleasant stay.
