“I have lived in Erie majority of my life. I have Hurd so many different things about this place. Now as a 35 yr old man, i find myself in a spot where I need a week to week hotel room. I was happy to find out that the owner is truly a great person and a pleasure to deal with. She runs this by herself mind you. The rooms are nothing special, but they I can assure you are critter and bug free. She ensures that this place is quite at night as well....very. there's a pool when it's that time of year. Extremely close to lake, amusement park, mall, airport, great fishing all year long. IF YOU ARE IN NEED OF AN EXTENDED STAY MOTEL, THIS IS IT.”

“I came to Erie for a week to visit my son and other family. I needed a place in the airport area, and especially needed an affordable rate. I also prefer a Clean room, a Comfortable bed, and Peace and Quiet at night.. I was not disappointed. I also loved the blackout curtains. Gayle is very friendly, made sure all my needs were met, going above and beyond. I needed extra towels so I could take my little grandson to the beach, and she provided those to me. Very much appreciated. I will definitely stay here again when I return for future visits. Thank you Gayle!”

“This was a great motel during my childhood. We didn't have a lot of money growing up and we would stay there on Erie vacations (the only vacations we could afford) they made us feel like royalty. The owners are super nice, the rooms and pool were always spotlessly clean. It's in a great location near everything. I'm older now and going to meet some friends in Erie. I am definitely choosing this motel to stay at. I'm so happy it's still in business! They won't remember me, but I'll remember them, their awesome hospitality and all the great memories I've had there. See you this weekend!”
