"This was our first time staying at The Genevieve. We were very pleased with our room and appreciated having two valets to use! Bathroom was spacious (though could have used more lighting) and nice having a balcony. Breakfast was included and bikes were available for use. Location was perfect as we were attending an event at Gainey Winery, which was just down the street. "
