We had a one-day event in town that day that apparently coincided with Oktoberfest --- I'm guessing that's why most of the hotels were full. The Diplomat feels like the hotels from the 70's --- very dated inside and out. This one was clean and the shower was good, mattress reasonable, area was quiet (ie. I could sleep at night);... More

When I was last here, I was a little concerned about whether this motel was deteriorating. Last week, however, I was there and very pleased with the condition and status of the place. It was very clean. The rooms are very large (and being updated). The outdoor pool is one of the best in Lake Geneva and because this motel... More

Pillows-very important piece of a review:) ehhhh-was not impressed, bring your own, I always do anyway. This Motel was great for the weekend for a concert at Alpine Valley. The Fridge and Microwave helped us save a few dollars for storing some healthy snacks, and it was great being close to town to explore. I would definitely stay here again.... More

I've stayed at this motel many times and always been very happy there (see my review of December 2006). When last there, however, I noticed that it is not being kept as clean, things are looking old and it has a musty smell now. I hope this was a brief, early-season problem which is to be corrected and not just... More

Otherwise, the rooms smell dank (even though they were clean). "It's someplace you take a hooker" said my friend. And, he's right. Many of the upper rooms had water damage, smelled like... More

My husband and I were looking for a place in Lake Geneva for a quick weekend away for our anniversary without spending a lot. I found the Diplomat Motel through many calls to other places that were already booked or over priced, they recommended the Diplomat to us. We had never stayed at a motel before, so we were a...

We were nervous about staying a "motel" but we ended up being very surprised at how it the Budget Host had almost everything we needed at reasonable price for the area. Our room was VERY clean, had a microwave and fridge. The pool is located in a spot that gets a lot of sun and does the job. Bring an... More

We stayed here in May 2005 but this hotel was not in Trip advisor list at that time. This is a modest motel where you can find a clean room close to $50 a night. We went on the mother's day weekend and called ahead to book 2 rooms. No problems what so ever our rooms were clean (large room,... More
