First I have to say that my husband and I usually do not write reviews of places, even if we have a good experience. We found our stay at the William Smith Inn in Geneva, NY to be so great we wanted everyone to know about it. We have never felt more at home in any other establishment, and we... More

My girlfriend and I had the wonderful opportunity to stay at the William Smith Inn this February as we toured the Finger Lakes. I can't think of a better way to share a snowy evening that in the remodeled Sturtevant Room alongside the fireplace! The reservation process was super simple (all over email), David welcomed us openly when we arrived... More

Michael and I fell in love at this beautiful historic inn during the month of February; a non traditional tourist time for Geneva NY. As the snow fell gently from the evening sky, we pulled into the William Smith Inn just as darkness was beginning to set. David spoke to the history of the lovely home, 14 foot ceilings, huge...

Sometimes you find a place that is so terrific you don't want to share for fear it won't be available when you want to stay, the William Smith Inn is that place in Geneva. The hosts are so nice , I want them to succeed so I'm sharing. I've stayed at the Hampton, Ramada, Belhurst Castle and Mirbeau. William Smith... More
