For an older hotel the decor is updated and the rooms neat and clean. Location is great. Not in a busy part of town, but close to where you want to go. There is an in house restaurant that offers room service. Wait service was very polite, food was average, however the fries were outstanding!

Rooms were okay, neat, clean, nothing special. We were disappointed that our room had no refridgerator or microwave, web-site stated most standard room inluded these. The others we traveled with did have a fridge but we did not. Hotel has nice indoor pool. Restaurant provides a nice breakfast buffet for $5 for those staying at the hotel.

I know some other people have written positive reviews about this property, but they must have pretty low expectations for hotels. I recently stayed here for a business meeting that was held at the nearby Bayfront convention center. The rates weren't bad, but you get what you pay for. Unfortunately, I didn't make this reservation myself or I would have... More

We live in Erie and whenever I need a winter getaway with the kids without going to far we pick the Clarion. Wonderful pool.. cozy furniture surrounding. Nice filling $4 breakfast buffet. The staff always upgrades if they can to a poolside room for us, they always bring us what we need when we ask. I have no complaints and... More

Great location near some good restaurants, and of course Presque Isle. The room was spotless, it overlooked the pool. The entire place was very clean and bright. The staff was friendly and will get coffee for you when the restaurant is closed. I hate paying for breakfast buffet when others offer it for free, but 4 bucks for all you... More

Older Clarion, pretty well kept. Good location, lots of places to eat locally. The internet is a little slow. The breakfast is 4 bucks per person and it’s not bad but the eggs are not very good. Indoor pool, hot tub and the fitness area is better than the average motel.. Room service and housekeeping is very good, in fact... More

Check in went flawless, asked the girl about breakfast and was told it cost 4 bucks, but she also told me it was the "best". The room was pretty good, a tv smaller than the one in my kitchen. The other things I found wrong was a couple of hairs in the bath tub and the shower head was "broken",... More

Arrival; We first arrived around 2:00 pm and were told we couldn't check-in until after 4:00 pm, no problem. We came back around 7:00 pm and there was no line, that was a plus.

About ten years ago, this used to be our favorite weekend get-away that was less than 2 1/2 hours from Pittsburgh and close to Lake Erie. We went back for the first time in ten years, and were a little surprised by the condition of the premium pool-side rooms. Unfortunately, the rooms looked EXACTLY the same as they did ten... More
