Stayed at the Genetti Hotel in Williamsport. Very nice hotel with a great restaurant. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Had an amazing time. Nice ambiance very relaxing weekend. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Would recommend it to anyone that likes to stay in a grand hotel.

The hotel is celebrating it's 100th anniversary and the rooms are a bit dated but it is clean and a real bargain. There is a secure parking area, a friendly front desk, nice lobby and the location is very convenient to downtown area. The breakfast was a real treat - good food and lots of options.

We checked in the front desk attendants were wonderful. Got to our room, and you could tell as soon as you opened the door it was fresh and clean. We didn't hear anyone in the halls, or beside us which was a plus for us. This hotel is conveniently placed in the center of town and has many places within walking distance.

Such a unique hotel experience - the building has such a rich community history and oozes charm and style. The staff were all friendly and helpful - from the front desk to the dining facilities. The breakfast was great and so was evening menu and service. Highly recommend

We stayed at the Genetti on a Friday evening before heading to State College for Penn State football. The ambience , the location , and the price of the room made the stay quite comfortable. Even better, the Genetti is 1 hour from State College and much less expensive

My boyfriend and I stayed last night. First the room was terribly stuffy to the point I had to double up on my allergy medicine. We looked under the sheets when we first got into the room but never moved the sham at the bottom of the bed. I got up in the middle of the night to use the restroom and when I came back to the bed I noticed a black thing in the sheet. I immediately turned my flash light on my phone to inspect. Then I noticed more… I asked my boyfriend to look to make sure I was seeing correctly. He confirmed it was bugs. I called down to the front desk and told the gentleman and he came up to give us a new room and look for himself. He in fact said there were bugs but wasn’t sure if it was a flea or bedbugs (pet friendly hotel). He walked us down to the next room and we denied it because we saw more bugs. Maybe they came with us from the first room or they were already there or because I was so upset about the first room. Regardless, I couldn’t stay in that room. He went to another room and inspected it then walked us down. When we checked it I asked for a late check out and they said we could check out at 1pm. Because we started the moving around at 4am we slept in and when we were getting around I went and spoke to the house keeper to let her know we are leaving and would be out of there shortly (1:15). We got a call from the hotel while on the elevator but we told them we are on the way did to talk to them. We went to check out and to speak to the manager but when we got there she peered around the corner held her finger up and told the girl at the front desk she’s on the phone. 10 mins later she finally was able to talk she said they called because check out was at 11am. She said that she didn’t have any notes about the moves/bugs/late check out but heard there was an issue but denied there was bugs. She was talking to me as if we made the whole thing up with a condescending tone. Refused a compensation on the room because the lack of notes and they had to wait until their bug guy came to inspect. THE GUY TOLD US THEY WERE GOING TO SANITIZE THE ROOM AND THEN BRING THE STUFF WE LEFT DOWN. She said there was no cleaning done but yet was comfortable enough to bring our stuff down to the room we stayed in and left it inside the room while we were sleeping. ****We have called twice today and have been told they are looking into it****

This is an olde-worlde 10-storey hotel in the middle of the CBD. It looks like something out of the 1930s, all the styling and the space and the architecture, you could imagine people in 30s garb around every corner! Super quirky and a fun place to stay for a short while. The elevator still has black plastic buttons unlighted. There is no ability to drive in at reception as there is with hotels outside a CBD, so you either have to already know where the hotel’s car park is, or find a park in the street and go to reception. We did the latter. Checkin was smooth, instructions for getting to the car park (right behind the building) are clear, the parking is plentiful and free, and there are plenty of luggage carts to help get you to your room. The car park is in the open, so its harder if its raining, but this is no different to most Best Westerns or for that matter other chains. Its quite a walk from your car to the elevators, maybe 100m from one end of the building to the other. Pros: • A quirky hotel with olde worlde charm and smells. Lots of photos of all the celebs from the past that stayed here • Loads of free parking • Internet is reliable and fast enough • Room contains 2x queen beds, microwave, fridge, desk, chair, as per a typical chain hotel room. Being in an olde worlde building, the rooms are alite cramped compared to new purpose-built hotels • Both pro and con: Bathroom is really old, maybe even 30s style, but super clean and everything works well • Heating works well • Close to Bullfrog Brewery (like, 90 seconds walk away) • Lady at reception friendly and helpful • Decent view from the 7th floor • Pool probably ok, didn’t try it, and no one would unless it was mid summer • Shower pressure excellent • Beds and pillows comfortable Cons: • Some road noise but not a lot • Bit of a rabbit warren, and the corner rooms are accessed via their own separate nooks as was the olde worlde style • No coffee or tea in reception • Area is strangely deserted, including during business hours Typical buffet-style breakfast and typical of a Best Western in quality, overall: • The exception: they had two varieties of scrambled eggs, both of which looked lovely. I had the red and green peppers version • A couple of different decent breads so I had rye toast • Apart from that there wasn’t much o Some plain yoghurt in a big mixing bowl for you to spoon out for yourself o Pre-cooked pancakes o Apples and bananas o Juices and coffees o 3 varieties of sugary cereals o Plastic cutlery • They made it very clear you should leave a tip, by giving you a bill for a full breakfast amount, and then showing 100% credit because of the room

The staff are what made my stay truly extraordinary - from joking witht the male receptionist about his singing (or lack thereof) to the wonderful way the staff came together to listen and resolve the two minor issues I had (noise)

This hotel is an older property that works very hard to please its guests. It is super clean and well maintained. Staff members were welcoming and professional. The lobby area had good seating arrangements for gatherings. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the bathroom, though small, had plenty of towels! Breakfast was superb with many hot choices as well as fruits and juice.

Absolutely the worst meal. They were out of prime rib so had to get chicken. No taste whatsoever. It was like boiled chicken on dry rice. We waited an hour before our order was taken. I left most of the meal. Never coming back. This was on their Valentines menu!
Non hotel guest so paid for breakfast (we knew that before going). Guess I didn't know that the same free breakfast for hotel guests. It was not good at all. I thought this was a Taphouse new menu feature. Go to Dolly's or Mel's for a real breakfast

Clean restaurant. Nice menu selection.Friendly and attentive staff.

The restaurant looks amazing! Great job with the new look. Breakfast is still the best in Williamsport.

The (c, 1922) Genetti hotel will be celebrating it's 100th birthday next year and we enjoyed this historic hotel with it's class and character. As a young boy in the 1960's the then named Lycoming Hotel was a landmark for me on our trips to visit my grandparents in Lockport, New York. I had always wanted to stay here and finally incorporated a stop here on our way to Lake Placid. The Genetti has a great location downtown with in a block or 2 of a movie theatre, 3 brewery's, Wegmans, Kohls, the visitors center and about 10 restaurants. Inside, the large lobby has high ceilings as did our room, a ballroom, a taproom, nice outdoor swimming pool and a large free parking lot next to the pool. Our attractive queen room on the 8th floor gave us nice views of downtown and the river. At night walking back from a brewery at Pine Square, the hotel looked regal with green lighting around the 11th floor and then the top of the hotel with a red line and then the large Genetti hotel in red that can be seen for miles, much like I would see many years ago. Look forward to a return trip. do yourself a favor and skip the Comfort Inns, Holiday Inns, Hamptons etc. and experience a little history a save money at the same time.
