Lake Erie Lodge

I can tell that an effort is being made to update the property. However, the bed sheets were stained on one of the beds making me glad a second was available. There were cobwebs everywhere, and althought the rooms have probably been painted somewhat recently, there are many many areas that need to be touched up. The curtains in the very large window that faces the parking lot would not close. This led not only to a lack of privacy but also allowed light into the room at night. Additionally, the pool is not really usable. The bottom is not visible and debris floating on the surface is suspect. Lastly, the battery on my room key entry mechanism died causing me to be locked out of my room at 6:30 in the morning. I had to call a number on the office door and it took a long time for a response to my dilemma. The location for this motel will make it a wonderful success if things can be cleaned up a little better. It is close to many attractions.

Lake Erie Lodge is an old, reconditioned motor inn. The only thing it has going for it is its close proximity to Presque Island State Park. The room was clean, the furniture cheap and worn. No chairs at the seat or table, no hangers and towels thin and like sandpaper. The price at the property is higher than ******* after they add on service fee for using a credit card, which they require you use for the deposit. It was the only reasonable option during the eclipse, otherwise would not stay there.

No one was at front desk when we got there and when we checked out -did not have enough toilet paper in the room

First, the pluses: Erie is an easy city to get around and the Lodge is well situated. Reasonable price. Clean. Comfortable bed. Minuses: When I arrived circa 8pm to check in, the room wasn't ready (previous occupant had checked out late). When I did check in and was putting my stuff away, I found one piece of clothing and several books (including a Narcotics Anonymous manual) of a the previous tenant. There was no place to hang my clothers. Next day: no coffeemaker in the room, walked to the local McDonald's came back and the card key didn't work. No one in the office (no coffee in the lobby --- my experience is if there is no inroom coffeemaker, there is some in the lobby.) A sign said to call: my phone was in my room. The people who run the place are very pleasant and seem genuinely nice but not terribly competent at running a motel.

No one was at the desk. It took several calls to be able to check in. There was only 1dirty towel in the room took 2 requests to get towels. The curtain facing the parking lot would not close. Requested repair.

The staff was friendly. The room was clean and sizeable. Close to stores and the beach.

Older hotel. Toilet not working right. No staff in office at checkout time.

We stayed on Saturday 12/9/23. We had no heat in the room( they moved us) the second room, shower didn't work, room was dirty the door had no seal around it so cold air was coming thru. and there was no staff available to check us out on Sunday morning. I had to call Sunday afternoon to make sure I got my deposit back. We won't be back.

Mew and upgraded facilities made for a very pleasant stay.
