Super great area, the hotel is an older facility, the rooms were clean and somewhat outdated, but everything else is in need of an upgrade. It looks like they are in the middle of doing that, there were workers about. But if they continue and update its a gem of a spot.We booked because it also has breakfast, but we were disappointed when checking in the sign said only Saturday and Sunday, That was disappointing.

Despite having a mostly pleasant experience here in the past, I almost didn’t go back to this hotel this year. I spent months trying to get my deposit back from our last stay and could not get a response. Upon checking in yesterday, I mentioned this to the girl at the desk and she immediately went in and issued a refund to both my mother and me. I was tired from driving and probably a little rude, but she was very pleasant and made our experience a nice one. We will be back. Just a heads up though, they do not have coffee makers in the room, so you’ll have to go next door to McDonald’s for your morning coffee.

Not sure how I missed that this was a MOTEL, of course the photos online showed mostly the interior of the rooms (which seemed ok). When we checked in (4pm) on a Saturday, no one was to be found at the front desk (when I worked hotel front desk, I had to remain there at ALL times). We rang the bell, we called the number, still no one. Finally, I went up the stairs to what appeared to be an office and knocked on the door; a guy with no shoes answered and seemed surprised I was there. I told him we were trying to check in. So, we check in and there are old school keys, we ended up staying in their weird suite off to the side but at least it was more private. But there was an outer door and an inner door. Now, I’m a real estate agent, I’m no stranger to difficult and complicated door mechanisms. But both of us struggled to get it opened, but the inner door at least wasn’t as difficult. There was also a back door, and outside there was a bunch of trash. My fiancé kept his gun by the bed. We didn’t leave anything of value in the car. There was a fridge and microwave but the TV was kind of messed up (still watchable but weird). Bed was ok, bathroom was bright, but small, at least there was a random dining table off to the side where we could put stuff. The breakfast options were ok, standard. When I came back to the room, I realized that outer door locked behind me (when I specifically tried not to lock it because I didn’t want to wake him up when I went to grab us breakfast

Convenient but overpriced
The room was fairly nice, though the walls had many visible dents and scuffs. There were only two bath towels in the bathroom and the staff couldn't provide any face cloths or hand towels unless we wanted to wait until later in the evening. My main concern though was that even though we prepaid on Hotels.com, they said we underpaid and they charged us an extra $72.

2 abandoned cars in the parking lot. Obviously residents are not guests sitting outside smoking and listening to their music at night. One of the motel refrigerator sitting in the lawn. Breakfast was basic minimum. However the front desk/staff personnel very nice.

The hotel is great as far as location. The female staff are absolutely RUDE! They went in my room moving items to get a chair they wanted in which I was not happy about. 3. Hours after check in they called me accusing me of taking all their linens in which I took nothing of theirs! The women proceeded to get extremely disrespectful telling me I am no longer welcome there and called me back to back over 10 times just to be funny! I was going to book immediately for a trip in 2025 I will never step foot here again!

Think twice
It was a decent stay there were a couple things 1 the bed were hard. 2 not enough pillows. 3 spiders galore. 4 The cleaning staff used the same mop water to mop all the rooms. 5 the staff was hardly ever in the office if u needed anything 6 water pressure in the shower sucked 7 pics are not up to date. Not as nice as pictures depicted 8 stains on the blanket. Kind of looked like blood. But, since i didnt want to waste 400+ dollars and find another place we stayed

Had water all over the floor from them defrosting the little fridge and when told them about it they brought towels to clean up the water and left on sitting in front of fridge and said they would come back to get it when it was done defrosting. Had two broke down wrecked cars taking up parking spaces in front of the rooms my family was staying in. Also prior persons left belongs and was still in the room, which tells me that the room wasn’t properly cleaned. Very disappointed with the condition of this hotel.

We stayed 3 night/4 days here and for the location of sites to see and surrounding shopping areas/restaurants it was absolutely great for the overall price we payed! It was lacking in housekeeping and only came when we were checking out which wasnt a huge "no" for me but wouldve boosted my score. The man at the front desk and the housekeeper we saw were very friendly and smiling. The pool and outside of the hotel were kept clean. I would definitely be staying here again in the future!

We chose this hotel because it was advertised as being close to the lake. We arrived, but it was not close to the water. We had to keep ringing the bell as there was no help checking in. The lady came downstairs in her bare feet and quickly checked us in. We drove to our room and parked in front of it. On both sides, there were broken-down cars. We were only there for a short time and left at 7 am. Again, we were told there would be coffee. The doors were locked and we had to slide our key under the door.

We stayed due to the false advertising, they show nice pictures of gazebo, clean rooms and suitable pool for swimming, but this was all a lie, for the pictures were taken 60 years ago. During the night, if I wasn't awaken by unnerving sounds, the power getting cut off(only place in Erie)-probably didn't pay bill, woke me up, I thought I would take a shower, because this is the main reason for getting a hotel and not camping in Erie. To my naive surprise, the water had been cut also and that was the last straw. The owner/family living in the upstairs lobby was aware of power and water and offered no assistance but saying "hopefully it is on later today or tomorrow". I will never and I hope you don't ever stay here. I saved you the time, trouble and money.

It appeared that the owners were in the process of upgrading the property. I'm sure in the next year, it should be close to complete.
