This motel is very close to the entrance to the Presqu'ile State Park, which is lovely and free. Because it is a non busy season, upon arriving, the owner upgraded us to a room with a jacuzzi. The motel is a standard, cheap motel, which could use upgrades, but it is clean and comfortable, staff is friendly and helpful, parking is convenient, location is good, and we had everything we needed for our 2 night stay.

Hidden gem near Presque Isle SP

Such a charming, beach-themed motel! It’s not fancy, but it’s spotless, recently updated, and has such a peaceful, laid-back vibe. The rooms were super clean and cozy, and the environment felt quiet and relaxing. The bed deserves its own mention — truly the most comfortable one we’ve found in any hotel in years! We both slept so well, which never happens. You can tell the owners really care about keeping the place nice and welcoming. If you want a clean, quiet, and quirky little spot that feels like a local gem instead of a chain, this is the one. 🌊

While it was raining and nearing dark when I arrived, the property seemed a lot more rundown than in the pictures and reviews. The room was serviceable and fine to crash for the night, but the room that I had was at the end of the building and right near the road and the walls were thin and windows not soundproof.

Not good

The guys who checked me in were nice. But the room was disgusting. Its a motel. I didnt have high expectations. Carpet was fitlhy and stuff on it in three locations. Opened the nightstand and there was a flashlight, visine and an anti diareal. That is comforting. It could be ok with a scrubbing inside and out

They had every basic amenity that a regular hotel room has without the inflated room prices. (minus a coffee pot-which was not hard to do without) We didn't have a chance to use the pool due to timing but staff did say it was open and ready for use. The room was very clean and we had everything we needed. Very easy check in and check out. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Being handicapped, it was nice to be able to get back and forth to our vehicle only a few feet from our room. We had never stayed in this part of Erie before but people were respectful of each other. (We noticed guests sitting outside at various times throughout the day during their stay and the homeowner around the corner was practicing his golf swing.) Overall, very satisfied. We will definitely be staying there again the next time we're in Erie.

This could tske a minute so prepare!! Checkin: i had to ask the "residents" where to check in, no signage! The office smells like smoke and bad takeout! They didnt ask for id or anything to check me in....felt unsafe! The room when we got it, the windows were all unlocked, anyone could have gotten in! I mentioned the "residents" earlier, i believe there are permanent residents at this place...they sit outside drinking heavily and make you feel very unwelcome. They ALL smoke and it wafts everywhere!!! The pool, while semi-nice...they act like they own it and you are intruding!!! They move chairs around and the picnic tables to hangout, drink, and play cards and dont move them back or move when you are trying to exit or enter your room...they just stare at you like you in their way! The room itself was drab and worn down, but for the most part ok, just smelly and had renuzit air freshners behind the tv. Will NEVER visit again or refer anyone!!!!
