Fodor's Expert Review The Spencer Hotel & Spa
25 Palestine Ave., Chautauqua, New York, 14722, USA
Rooms at this Victorian hotel are individually decorated and named for great authors. The decor varies considerably from room to room. The Agatha Christie room is decked out with fern-print wallpaper that has a sort of psychedelic effect; the Isabel Allende room has cactus murals on the walls and a desert-hue theme. Some rooms are small and cramped, whereas others are quite capacious. Many have hand-painted murals or faux finishes on the walls or ceilings. Gardens surround the inn, which stays open all year. During the Chautauqua Institution season, the minimum required stay is a week.
PROS
- central air
- massage treatments
CONS
- small, unimpressive breakfast
- weak Wi-Fi signal
- limited parking near hotel (most parking in a lot several blocks away)
