Pool was dirty and bedsprings were broken.making bed slant downhill..staff was rude upon checkout when told about boxsprings. She acted like we must have broken them. We didnt tell them the night before due to it being late when we realized it and we just propped it up best we could.

No coffee maker in the room even though there were coffee cups and coffee provided. Saw bugs in bathroom. Air conditioner very loud and old. Comfy bed. Neighbor's child came in our room when one of us stepped outside to car.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!! I checked in and was given a key to a room that was already occupied. I knew that it was already occupied because there was luggage in the room when I opened the door. Luckily the person occupying the room wasn’t in there, or that would’ve been very awkward. I went back to the front desk to bring it to their attention and they gave me a key to another room and that room had stained sheets, and the bathroom wasn’t cleaned thoroughly. I went to the front desk and asked to just cancel the reservation because I was unhappy with the service. They informed me that I would have to cancel with Expedia. Once I called Expedia to cancel, Expedia said that they would have to call the property to confirm the situation. Once the representative from Expedia got back on the line, they told me that this establishment is denying the refund. I called the property and the property manager was very nasty. Please don’t waste your money here. Learn from my experience. I hope this helps the next person with their booking.

Baby Cockroach Bed
The front desk attendant was nice, the room was fine. We just needed a place to stay for the night. The biggest issue is that when we went to bed, we found a dead baby cockroach on the top sheet. I went to the front office, but it was late so they were closed. I snapped a picture of it and we threw it away and went to bed because it was late. I attempted to go talk to someone in the office at 11am, but no one was there. The office hours said they started at 11am. They had a number to call for assistance, when I called no one answered. Check out time was 11, so I ended up just putting my key through the drop slot and was never able to actually speak to anyone about the bug in our bed.

First things first I have worked in hospitality so i am a very picky person when it comes to hotels/motels. When we arrived we were early and we were told we cold look at the room but it wasnt finished yet. We noticed a whole bed set was missing from the room. They gave us another room but the floors were covered in dirt, the coffee maker was used and never cleaned after previous guests. The air conditioner when turned on left a FOUL ODOR to the point of making me nauseous! We checked out at 5am to find a better room for our last night in Erie. I reccommend lake breeze its very clean, no foul odors, and excellent rates!
