We stayed at this hotel as a family of 5 (including an infant) and we were very comfortable for us. There's a smaller cafe in the lobby that serves coffee and breakfast. It was much better than I anticipated. We tried a few breakfast items and I think we may have enjoyed it more than the actual restaurant itself. We tried it on a very sunny day so no umbrella was going to help us from the sunshine and heat. The only downside is that there were some yellowjackets on the bushes during our meal, which we addressed with management. Not sure if they took care of it but it drove us inside to finish our meal. Had that not happened, we would have had a 5 star experience. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and nice. We stayed over a few nights when there was construction and it detoured how we returned to the hotel. The nightly rate is quite high but it was overall such a nice experience I thought it was worth it. It was a bit annoying that we were also charged a parking fee given the rate. I think it should be included. Overall a great experience. If you plan to stay in Erie this hotel is your place!

Which I understand wanting to kill germs. Never saw a single staff member in the pool room or outside at the infinity pool which I found a little odd. Our skin still faintly smelled of chlorine even after showering. The laundry room was the only place I felt needed cleaning. There was a pair of underwear on top of a washer for two days. One dryer was out of order and I noticed a staff member was using the big washing machine which was odd seeing as they have laundry service for a hefty price tag. The lint trap on the dryer was disgusting. I scraped it clean with an old gift card so I didn't have to physically touch the lint. We desperately needed laundry done, but I wouldn't recommend using their laundry facilities. There wasn't a microwave in the room. The advertised "mini fridge" left everything barely cool. When we called down the next day, after losing any food we put in the night before, we were told, "it's more like a cooler than fridge". So we threw that food away for safety sake and then only put a few things in. There was a button to cool it for 2 hours. We tried to stay on a schedule clicking it. For the price of this hotel you'd think at least a fridge and microwave might be in the rooms. Add in the fact that breakfast wasn't included... it seems they were trying to do anything they could to make you reliant on their pricey restaurants and mini market. The restaurant food was good, drinks majorly overpriced. The mini market they have has not one price marked. When I asked about a price the desk clerk had no idea, but asked if I wanted to charge it to the room, which I did not. I skipped buying anything. Definitely had beautiful views, nice seating inside and out to enjoy the sunsets. I'd recommend it I guess. Just be aware you won't get much other than an uncomfortable bed for a big price tag, I ended up sleeping on the chair with added pillows and the ottoman. Also a view you can get for free at presque isle or dobbins landing. If money is not an issue for you this is the place for you.

Roderick Reserve is a 3,600-acre natural area on the Lake Erie shoreline, adjacent to Erie Bluffs State Park. Prior to becoming a nature reserve, the property was owned by Andrew Carnegie and, later, U.S. Steel Corp. Forty-nine percent of the site is wetlands. Aspen, American Beech, White Oak, Sugar Maple, and Silky Dogwood make up a majority of the forested area. Red and Silver maple grow vigorously in wooded swamps. Increasingly surrounded by development, the site will likely become more important in the future as an "island" of habitat. It is considered by the Audobon Society as an important and significant bird area.

Fought on September 10, 1813, the battle became a pivotal point in the war, because the victory returned control over Lake Erie to the United States. The memorial was dedicated in 1926 on the 113th anniversary of the Battle. The marker reads, "Under the command of Oliver Hazard Perry, the Lake Erie Squadron was constructed along the Erie shoreline during the summer of 1813. The Presque Isle peninsula, which forms a natural bay and helps to protect Erie from the lake's harsh conditions, provided Perry and his men with a sheltered location to build their ships. Perry's victory over the British at the Battle of Lake Erie secured U.S. control of the lake and gave America a much-needed morale boost for continuing the fight for independence." There is a parking lot nearby which is also the spot for catching the boat tour. [Review 1383 of 2024 - 660 in Pennsylvania - 22406 overall]

Today we arrived and we're greeted by Mindy. I was cautiously optimistic, but right off the bat things we're looking promising. She seated us in our favorite area and advised us on the menu and specials. We ordered drinks and Shrimp Cocktail and Lobster Bisque app. The drinks, ambience, appetizers and company were all perfect. Then we ordered the mains. We had the Seafood Medley with asparagus and broiled Cajun haddock with broccoli. Both arrived in good time, cooked perfectly. We were given good portions, not skimpy like some places. We don't often get dessert, but when Mindy told us they were made in-house and the coconut pie was gluten free, we had to. I ordered the peanut butter pie. Both were a perfect ending to a wonderful experience. I don't often review, but I had to this time because it was so good.
