Lake Erie Lodge

The location worked, but the room seemed like it was still under renovation in the off‑season and had been accidentally rented out; the flooring was coming apart, there was no toilet‑paper dispenser, bathroom fixtures were loose, and there were bugs in the cabinet between the beds.

“Good place”

The hotel was close to everything.

“Good location near the beach, not very clean or comfortable”

I spent the weekend of September 12-13, 2026 at Lake Erie Lodge for the Erie Marathon. The place sits a mile from Presque Isle State Park and the beach, and we walked or ran along the shoulder of the road; there are occasional sidewalks to the state park but none of the crosswalk signs work, while paved sidewalks lead to the main road. A McDonald’s and CVS are right next to the hotel, and other restaurants and a gas station are about a 4‑minute walk away. Reception staff were kind. Our flight landed around 1 pm, but check‑in wasn’t until 4 pm. When I called to ask if they could hold our luggage, I was told no, and the person on the phone had a flat tone, offered no alternatives or apologies, just a simple “No we don’t do that.” My friend and I had to take an Uber to the bike‑pickup at Presque Isle State Park with our suitcases, and it started to rain; it would have been far more convenient to drop our luggage off with reception, walk to the park, and return without spending extra money on two Ubers for a 5‑minute drive each way. I hadn’t seen any negative reviews about the hotel’s cleanliness until I arrived. The room wasn’t terrible, but our mattresses were stained as shown in other reviews, the floors felt constantly dirty and grimy, and we only received one thin bath towel each; housekeeping never came to offer new or extra towels, though they probably would have if we had asked reception. I didn’t expect a luxurious stay, just the necessities, and the price you pay for what you get is reasonable. Bonus: there were several spiders in the room, and a cigarette smell from people smoking outside; the walls are thin and we could hear conversations from outside and next door.

“Not worth the money”

The price was cheap for a one‑night stay, but you get what you pay for, I guess. Check‑in was at 4:00 pm, and we couldn’t check‑in early unless we paid a $30.00 “Early Check‑in Fee.” This is an old motel with maybe 15 rooms, and there were only about 2 or 3 cars in the parking lot. I highly doubt it was booked; I’m sure there were rooms ready to go or should have been! A Middle Eastern lady was sitting outside between the entry door and the first motel room with an opened door. It looked like sheets and mattresses covered the windows of the room, and I think that was the owner. Once we checked in, we were given a key card, but the door wouldn’t open. I went to the front desk, but nobody was there. I had to wait about 10 minutes for the girl to come downstairs to help me because she was talking to, I assume, the owner. The girl had to knock on another caretaker’s mobile home door to get help. She went to get the master key, and the door opened with it, but she made us a new key card. It worked, and we didn’t have any other door issues. There were no blankets on the bed—just a flat sheet and thin bedspreads! We only discovered this when we went to bed later that night. The bed was very hard and not comfortable at all. No cups to use in the bathroom. Very plain, stripped‑down, basic room. No desk or chair. There was a weird looking piece of furniture pushed up against the window. The second bed was right there…no room to get into the bed on the side with that furniture item. It looked like white paint was just slapped up on the walls, especially the bathroom. No closet to hang anything! Luckily, we just stayed overnight. We just unpacked our overnight bags. I can’t remember if there were any drawers—I would have to say there weren’t any. There was this entertainment‑center‑type piece of furniture, but it was not usable except to throw stuff on top of it (key card, water bottle, etc.). The TV was above it on the wall.
