Great location. Close to Waldameer Park, the lake and restaurants. Was quiet when we were there but it was at the end of the season. Room was okay. Nowhere to hang clothing, not enough towels or soap in bathroom, light fixture was old and one side burnt out, fairly clean but floor could have been cleaner as our socks got really dirty. Staff was pleasant but had a hard time obtaining the $100 cash deposit on the room at checkout. Didn't try the pool but things looked a bit neglected. Looked as if they were remodeling the whole place but not sure. Continental breakfast was practically non existent when we arrived at 9 am. It was supposed to be from 8-10. Not sure if will stay there again.

The rooms were very clean, bed was comfortable, pillows were too full/stiff. There was a restaurant across the street with outdoor live music. The free continental breakfast was lacking. A little unsure of safety factor, took all bags in the room. No issues arose.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room did not fit the environment. The bed was comfortable, my husband said the shower was great. The room was large but there was another room that shared the same airlocked entryway and physical keys as the room we were in. There was no dead bolt, no peephole or sliding lock on our room door. Someone knocked on our door around 10pm from inside that shared entryway very creepy. Didn’t get much sleep knowing that someone could walk into our room at any moment. This property has potential to be a beautiful place but it would require a lot of ambition and dedication to bring it about. It may be that the current owner is burned out or not there or both. I do not giving reviews if they are negative but I am going to this time because of the safety issues. If you want a good night sleep stay somewhere else.

We stayed here recently and overall had a decent experience. The room was updated, clean, and looked nice. The location was perfect for visiting Presque Isle, and the price was great for what we got. Our kids loved the pool, and it was a nice bonus. On the downside, the air conditioner was leaking. We were told someone would come to fix it, but no one actually did. The beds could have been more comfortable, and my mom wasn’t a fan of the pillows. That said, for the price and location, it was worth it, and we got exactly what we paid for.

Creepy and Waste of Money!

Feels like a ghetto. Don't waste your money. Drive a little farther and pay a little more, trust me! We stayed one night only because it was late and didn't have any other options. Creepiest hotel I've stayed at. The guy at the front desk is it good worker, but not helpful. Told him we needed to leave after the first night and he said he would talk to "his people" , but never got back to us. When I asked him about it again before checkout, he said he would ask, but he doubted they would do anything for me because of the no cancellation policy regardless of reason.

A bit of a let down

The hotel is in a very convenient location if you are going to Presque Isle. The staff was very nice and seemed to be very busy. The room was clean enough other than spiderweb in the bathroom window, The lack of a toilet paper holder in the bathroom I found odd. It was also strange they the room had a piece of furniture to hold the fridge and microwave but they were stacked outside of the bathroom. The pillows were horrible and need replaced. The sheets definitely need upgraded they were cheap and scratchy. Also, it would be really nice if there was two chairs out side of the room. It may seem that I am being nit picky but the stay was not cheap therefore I expected a better overall experience. We will not be staying here again next year.

Looked updated and modern Online. There were holes in walls and old hair and someones fingernails clippings left on the floor hair and stains on the bedsheets. We asked for new sheets and the man said he had to place them on the bed he followed me into my room where my family was staying with out warning I opened the door and told them he’s placing new sheets on the bed awkward!! Beds were uncomfortable pillows thick and uncomfortable as well our necks and backs hurt waking up. Same thing basically happend with towels I asked for he said I had to turn in the old ones and he would get them I quickly ran to the room to get there before him and run to the shower to pick up our wet used towels to hand him. Yuck on his part no gloves no cleaning service? Idk. No sand, just weeds where the volley ball court was. List could go on. Paid for what I got. There was a nice bay and berry in walking distant for breakfast was cute and clean inside. Gas stations less then a block away.

For the price, the rooms didn't really meet our expectations. Very basic room, with no paper products other than t.p., and no chairs in the room. The staff work hard, and they did replace a room refrigerator that wasn't working when we arrived, which we appreciated. The room deposit was returned after check-out as promised.

Though an older motel that might seem faded at first, the rooms have been redone and provide a really great night’s sleep. What seemed to be a new bed with a sturdy mattress made it a very comfortable stay. And, although on a somewhat busy street, it was remarkably quiet. Staff busy, but responsive. I didn’t swim, but others seemed to be enjoying the pool. No complaints. Clean, no frills.
