I drove down to Chautauqua for a 2 day solo get away. The Spencer Hotel was the perfect spot. Christine was very helpful when I made my reservation, suggesting restaurants and making reservations and she kindly offered to get me a ticket to the Wine Festival. I chose the EB White room and it was very quaint and well appointed... More

This is the first time I have filled out one of these reviews. The service and quality of the inn was too good not to let people know about the inn. We were there because of needing to be near an ill parent. They took excellent care of us and the food was the best I have had at an... More

We spent 3 memorable days at The Spencer recently. The accomodations were charming, the service superb, and the welcome we received made our stay a very special experience. Breakfast was delicious and well-balanced. Nothing could surpass starting the day with an enthusiastic greeting from resident dog-hostess, Hannah. The atmosphere in the hotel is warm and comfortable, and we hope to... More

Went for a romantic weekend and enjoyed the serene, peaceful setting. Staff was very attentive and helpful with making plans in the area and were quite accommodating as far as services within the Inn. Location was great, massages were fantastic! It was a very relaxing, romantic weekend.

A smashing hotel in the best location. Had a romantic weekend getaway in the Agatha Christie suite, room and staff was fantastic! The staff bent over backwards to arrange champagne, flowers, massage, wine, private dinner - everything I could have asked for. (Well I did ask for everything, and actually got it!) Can't wait to return, looking forward to wine... More

We just enjoyed a lovely weekend at the Spencer. The Innkeepers were gracious and most attentive. We stayed in the Collette suite and found it to be enchanting. A collection of the author's books were available which further enhanced the experience. Breakfast was a true epicurean delight: fresh baked brioche, omelettes with bacon lardoons and an artistic array of fruit... More

I apologize for your dissatisfaction with your stay this past Friday. I would like to take a moment to address some of your concerns...Breakfast IS included with your stay and the owner's husband had it prepared for you but thought you had left already.

We spent a weekend in Chautauqua and stayed at the Spencer Hotel. It's more of a bed and breakfast. The owners were extremely nice, very helpful, and friendly. The hotel was originally built about a century ago, so it does show its "age" but was comfortable and quite charming! We would recommend it to couples or families, anyone looking for... More
