Mirbeau Inn & Spa - Skaneateles

Maribeau is a special place to relax and unwind. I feel as though they treat each and every guest like royalty. The entire staff was so kind and went above and beyond The rooms are beautifully decorated and very spacious. Its a wonderful place to go with your significant other .

3.5 - My husband and I had a 2 night, 3 day mid-week getaway at Mirbeau in June. Overall, we had a very relaxing experience. Rooms - we had a king room with a garden view on the first floor. It was spacious with a seating area next to a fireplace. There was a claw foot tub and a separate shower. Not a huge fan of having a shower curtain. As others have mentioned the paint and lighting in the rooms make it quite dark and, the dark color on the ceiling made it feel closed in. The dark colors are also a stark contrast to the lush gardens outside. The sliding glass doors opened onto an outdoor area shared with a few other rooms. There was a bistro set near the pond and we were able to enjoy breakfast there. We saw all the koi, ducks/birds, bunnies and frogs. The area is lovely but some areas could use some weeding. Spa - the spa dressing rooms are well appointed. There are changing areas, rest rooms, showers, lockers, a sauna and a steam room. They have ice cold washcloths, towels, ice water, every toiletry you might need, hairdryers and even a swimsuit dryer. The quiet room has several reclining beds where you can rest, read, sleep, wait for a treatment. They surround a foot bath where you sit on cushions on the floor. There's ice water and hot tea available. White noise machines drown out most noise creating a peaceful atmosphere. The aqua terrace is just outside. It has an oversized hot tub area, a seating area with four cushioned chairs around a fireplace, several other table and chair groupings and a bar. The hot tub is nice, very relaxing after a massage or class. It's not a very large area overall, and we did have trouble finding a seat one of the days. On hot days, it would be nice to have a cooler pool area or a cold plunge pool. Treatments - we had a couples massage, something we have done many times at other spas. My husband had a wonderful experience with his massage. She focused on his problem areas and did a wonderful job. My massage was quite the opposite. It did not seem like a professional massage. I spent about 90% of the time on my stomach which became quite uncomfortable. The massuese was rough and parts of the experience were painful. After the massage when we went to settle up and have everything billed to our room, we had to stand in line for a half hour. The attendant was clearly new and overwhelmed. We did express that we had a mixed review on our treatment. At first, we were charged double, but eventually, after my husband went back to the desk later, the error was corrected and, we were given a small percentage off the treatment. I did email the spa manager at the encouragement of the staff, but received no reply. Dining - we had 1 room service breakfast, 1 breakfast and 1 lunch in the dining room on the porch. The breakfasts were average. Lunch was fantastic! I would recommend reservations for every meal, even if the restaurant looks empty - you'll be seated much quicker. We wa

From the minute you enter the Inn and Spa right through relaxation room, spa treatments, grotto, wine bar and restaurant to comfortable rooms, our experience was top notch. Thank you! In the stress filled world, it’s nice to be pampered for a bit!

Awesome resort with impeccable service. Beautiful serene atmosphere. The place to go for relaxation and great food. We stayed in one of their suites, it was gorgeous!! There were two fireplaces in the suite and a sliding glass door that went out to a beautiful private balcony with an amazing view.

Mirbeau Inn in Skaneatlas is the original of this boutique chain and still the gem in their crown. We have stayed there many times and in retirement, have made it a ritual to take a mid-winter break there to celebrate our birthdays and spoil ourselves that one time each year. We have never and may I repeat, NEVER, been disappointed. Mirbeau is the model for customer service whether you are talking about the hotel, the spa, or the restaurant. Right from check-in with the desk manager, Kayla, and her assistant, Amethyst, we were made to feel special. Our hostesses in the restaurant, Skye and Angelique, accommodated every request, including making sure we sat at our favorite table for each meal. The bartender, Ed, who has been at Mirbeau forever, never forgets a face and provides outstanding recommendations for wines and pairing choices. My wife's spa treatment by Jen was absolutely spectacular. And the extras like the very well-equipped fitness center and wonderful indoor stream-like open air hot tub are the icing on the cake. We had a perfect stay during a very snowy 2 days in Central NY. Couldn't think of a better place to be snowed in for sure. We recommend Mirbeau Skaneatlas to anyone who wants a relaxing getaway,

Everything I hoped for and more. I am someone who rarely is able to take a vacation. So, I had high expectations and hopes for this trip. I have zero regrets and was more than impressed with the staff, accommodations, food, prices you name it! If I could give Mirbeau Skaneateles a 6th star I would. I cannot wait to go back!
