Are first time stay at lake erie lodge. When i stay at a hotel i always check first the beds and bathroom. I had no need to check that at lake erie lodge. Im talking this place is clean. The owners r wonderful ppl and try to accommodate you anyway they can. This lodge is well taken care of. Close to the beach and the park. Please if you ever consider a trip to erie pa look up this hotel. Pool is outside and taken care of

Disliked: Amenities
The day I checked in a 100.00 deposit was taken out of my account. He said he would look at room Still have not got it back yet. Parking lot has junk cars in lot flat tires junk cars. Pool not working was to be running when we booked. Rooms very clean.
We checked in and left all in the same ten minutes without a refund. My son’s asthma was set off by the terrible smell of the cleaning products and they refused to refund our money saying I needed to contact Orbitz for this. Orbitz called for them to release our funds and they refused to authorize the release so ultimately they gave me the run around instead of just telling me themselves they wouldn’t refund. The pictures are deceiving on how much this motel has been updated. In fact the pictures need to be updated. The sand volleyball court has nothing but weeds growing in it. The mattresses are brownish yellow and they are using the pool house to store them which you can see them piled up through the windows. The sheets and bedding are stained. While the rooms have been updated with new paint, flooring, and furniture, the mattresses were disgusting. There were no amenities in the room other than a TV. The lighting in the room was terrible and there was no security lock once we were in the room. When we asked if coffee was available in the lobby we were told what was in the pot has been there since the morning and we shouldn’t drink it. For the same money go stay in a real hotel and just avoid this one all together. The fact that it’s close to Presque Isle is not worth it.
When we checked there were extra fees, the staff gave us dirty towels to take into the room. The room was filthy and the bathroom had someone’s pubic hairs all over the shower walls and the shower spout did not work. The room had an awful stench and the bedding(which was just 2 sheets, not comforters and there were stains all over the bedding. The refrigerator freezer was not taken care of and completely ice build up. Not trash bags in trash cans and not ice bucket liners to get ice. It was not a nice place to stay. Extremely disappointed!
Host was not professional came off racist not very welcoming at all then after going to property to get a refund host said it was a 48 hour cancellation on other platforms you can receive your refund then after that cops came looking for missing persons and then after that I definitely didn’t feel comfortable
I expected it to be a cheap stay but was checked into a dirty room and was moved to another room with no towels and a non wrking TV. I guess you get what paid for...
DONT STAY HERE!! I saw decent reviews on expedia so i went ahead and booked a room. I couldn't believe how disgusting this place was. There are windows that have cardboard in them. The lobby area looked dusty and abandoned. I went to check in and they wanted an additional 100 dollar deposit. Which was no problem but that should be known ahead of time. When i saw the room i immediately walked right back out. It was disgusting! The bedding had white mystery stains all over it. The roll of toilet paper had gotten wet and was blue from something. There were no towels even though we booked for 4 adults. When I went to get new toilet paper and some towels they acted like they didn't believe me and had to come"check the room" as if there were actually towels in there somewhere. The icing on the cake was there was a door to a room next door that was being used by front desk staff and there was a rusty old nail securing the door from being opened. The front desk guy said there was no one in that room but i watched him go in and out of there smoking cigarettes. This place is the nastiest hotel i have ever seen. I got my deposit back and left. Requested a refund from expedia who called the hotel several times and when no one answered expedia refused to refund my money. I will never book through expedia again and I would advise anyone else who is thinking about it, don't. Go through the hotels own website. At least if there's a problem you won't get ripped off like i did
The rooms are clean but there were little beetle bugs crawling all over and the shower wouldn’t get hot just warm. They didn’t supply a dead bolt on the doors. When I checked in they said they needed a $100 deposit and they took a photo copy of my drivers license and my credit card which made me uncomfortable.
It was horrible I already chatted with customer service over it I’m
hoping maybe to get some of the costs back. There was no soap in the bathroomit felt extremely dirty, unkept, the towels I was given were grey instead of white because they were dirty or not newly washed , there was a drug bust with 3 cops after we returned from family event that my 10 year old had to witness If I could have had more funds I would have packed up and left myself, a family next door did leave with their two children
