Disliked: Amenities
well, first of all, it was falsely advertised as free breakfast, which was not provided. which did not make us happy with a child. price did not correlate with the room. they managed to put 2 beds in a room when originally was one, so one should squeeze between the bed and wall (3-4" space) to get into it. wi-fi is a joke, even after rebooting the extender, wi-fi signal periodically disappeared. too bad, the location is fantastic, but humans can ruin all good, we know this well.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! An absolute hell hole , have a “maintenance man” living in the parking lot . The fridge was broken and not fixed, the ac was broken and not fixed . The room claimed it accommodated 12 people but only accommodated 3 people . An the staff is a nightmare. Spent 400 for 2 nights and in the family room you’re only proved a microwave so we were grilling and they told us that it’s not allowed and made us cook elsewhere . Take your hard earned money elsewhere

The room was fithy. Half of the plugs didn't work. Not enough lighting. The carport was so dirty that after a shower my feet were dirt from walking in the room. The mattress cover was dirty and old. The box spring cover was dirty and old. Front desk staff was rude. Cleaning staff and maintenance were very nice. They still use keys but because the door knob was damage i had a hard time getting into my room.Breakfast was cheap and only on Saturday and Sunday. The picture don't match the property at all. It is run down, the wifi was awful couldn't work while there. Parking is okay as long as the residents aren't using it. There are people that live there that keep there animals outside all day on chains. I paid to much for this room. I have never stayed in such a awful hotel in Erie. I WILL NEVER STAY HERE AGAIN!! I advise no one does.
