We were spending a weekend in the Finger Lakes, and this looked like a glorious place for one extravagant night. The location and view over the lake were unbeatable, and for architectural enthusiasts, to stay in a Greek Revival mansion is a lure. The mansion has had a mixed and often sad history (e.g. used as a poorhouse; empty for... More

I was at first a little hesitant to come to lunch today after reading recent reviews about the service at Esperanza, and especially about the "inedible" food as one person pointed out. However, I was hosting 5 of my female friends at my house on Keuka Lake the past week for a girls week and decided I would bring them... More

The view is beautiful, I will give them that. The wait staff was rude, ignorant, and lazy. The food was horrible and we did not eat more than a bite. Yes, it was that bad. More

Stayed at the Esperanza last week for three days, a little reunion with my brother and his wife. Though the rooms in the Mansion sounded wonderful, because of our age and certain infirmities, we elected to stay at the Inn annex. The rooms were on the second floor, but accessible at ground level. A clever design. We did not expect... More

The room was very bright and cozy with a balcony (upper floor) that had a beautiful view of the lake. Continental breakfast... More

My fiancee and I spent a night for our preversary here. We visited Esperanza a year ago in examining it's potential for hosting a wedding reception, which we declined due to cost. However, we knew we had to come back and visit again. We stayed in the Mansion in the Pinot Noir room. It had ample room and a lovely... More

great place to stay to experience the Finger Lakes region, small but great wineries to visit and the hotel is across the street from a state park so bring your canoe! We had a great time. More

My husband and I spent a night here with 3 other couples. Three out of 4 rooms were okay....one smelled so musty that the couple asked to be moved. We found a few people on staff to be rude and not friendly/helpful at all. A person at the desk wouldn't crack a smile and seemed bothered when asked questions about... More
