Reviews for Glass House Inn

Review 1:maid left a dirty, wet rag on dresser. maid only replentished one coffee bag for coffee maker. maid did not give new plastic cups - old cup was cracked and leaked water.

Review 2:A very pleasant motel - we would stay here again.

Review 3:Ancient bathroom with no vanity. The room itself was in a dark area beside the supply room. The area was unlighted and creepy.

Review 4:Staff was extremely friendly.

Review 5:It was a little tricky pulling out onto 26th Street in heavy traffic.

Review 6:Room was very clean. Appreciated the small frig and microwave in the room. Place was homey and comfortable.

Review 7:The motel is located in the middle of nowhere on a big main road, so it wasn't possible going out for dinner without car.

Review 8:The staff was very friendly and gave us all the information we needed. Clean and confortable room.

Review 9:The wall of mirrors above the bed were a little unsettling! Clearly, this used to be one of those awful, kitschy roadside motels once, long ago.

Review 10:A cute, clean, family-oriented place, situated very close to Erie's best assets (Waldemeer Park and Presque Isle Park). Friendly staff, convenient part of town with plenty of decent restaurants nearby. The owners have done a nice job of turning what once was an average roadside motel into a cute clean family friendly place.

Review 11:The room smelled of dog and cleaner and baby powder. Luckily we had a diffuser with some essential oils that allowed us to sleep relatively comfortably. Other thing we were told the ice machine would be accessible until 11 and the office was locked up tight by 10pm. Ice machine should be located where you can get ice during the night time. Also the girl that checked us out on Sunday seemed to be put out and annoyed that she had to do it.

Review 12:very nice décor and great location.

Review 13:The room needed updating and smelled funny, but my biggest complaint was how thin the walls were Complimentary breakfast consists only of apples, cereal, and gross pastries. The milk for my cereal was warm, and my pastry had a hair in it

Review 14:Room was clean Free wifi Free parking right outside room Nice vanity to get ready at Room had both microwave and refrigerator

Review 15:the only problem we had was that being a senior the step to get into the room was a bit high and with my husband being visually handicapped it was a bit hard for him with no yellow markings, but manged and will return if we are in the area.

Review 16:although it was an older motel it was very well kept and very relaxing. very cozy and everyone was friendly.

Review 17:I was ill and unable to make the trip. Two day reservation and felt that I was within 48 hour cancellation window. Still charged me for one night at over $100. I am not made of money and this was way out of line. No mercy here!

Review 18:I asked for a cradle for my 2 years old daughter but they did not provide it. It is true that the room I chose queen, but many other motels can manage that and provide a cradle.

Review 19:Clean and in good location

Review 20:The pillow was not my style. To hard.

Review 21:I loved that it felt safe and home like. Loved the heated pool and outdoor grill which we made burgers and corn on the cob.. Fun !!!

Review 22:the window air conditioner was going out and was loud luckily it wasn't that hot and no humidity so we could run it low and with the fan. they were not able to get it fixed that day

Review 23:It was just a one night stay the room was quaint, old style but nice and clean with a microwave, small refrigerator and small coffee pot it was perfect for what we wanted. If we would have traveled with our dog though we would not been able to stay there.

Review 24:It was the second year my friend and I stayed here for our now annual girl's getaway. It's like stepping into the 60's. The place is so quaint and beautiful. The rooms aren't showy--just neat and comfortable. And, we LOVE the fact we can open the screened windows or leave the screen door open.

Review 25:Very close to Presque Isle State Park, Asbury Woods, many restaurants and shopping. Clean and quaint. It was nice to be able to patronize a patriotic and God-centered family business instead of the same old franchises.

Review 26:It would be nice to have a hot item offered for breakfast. Maybe a toaster with bread, bagels, English muffins, or even waffles. Hard boiled eggs would be a nice addition for those who need protein in the morning.

Review 27:It was a quaint, cozy, clean motel. It offered everything we needed and the location was excellent! The owners are very nice.

Review 28:Those bed spreads... u see them at most motels. They end up on the floor, no one uses them and they are terribly uncomfortable feeling. Seems like an upgrade I would try to make. Other than the I loved the place.

Review 29:The grounds and pool were beautiful, great staff and clean rooms.

Review 30:The microwave and portable frig were located inside the closet outside of the bathroom and it just felt a little cramped.

Review 31:Great location, free breakfast,very friendly staff. We will definitely stay here again.

Review 32:Uncomfortable beds, moldy air conditioner, poor water pressure and temperature, and lastly the floors were not vacuumed very well.

Review 33:The location was great for us. It is super close to Presque Isle.

Review 34:missing bathroom vents

Review 35:The owners were very nice and helpful directing us to the local spots. The rooms were clean and the property is well maintained and although all units were full, there was plenty of parking and it was surprisingly quite.

Review 36:Fridge froze my lunch. Breakfast staff was not very friendly. Room could use maintenance. All carbs for breakfast, coffee weak. TV on in breakfast room.

Review 37:Not a chain. Most of staff very friendly and helpful.

Review 38:It's a homey, friendly, family-like atmosphere. Previously, I have stayed there alone, as a "mature" adult; other times with family; this time it was with my two adult sons. Always a good experience.

Review 39:No bad experience.

Review 40:Parking lot was plowed, staff shoveled from our room to out vehicle. Our stay was due to an early morning doctor appointment. The dining room wasn't available when we left for it, but when we returned to check out, the owners opened the kitchen and dining room up just for us! Very considerate and much appreciated!

Review 41:Even though we had the " do not disturb" sign up in the morning , house keeping still knocked at the door. Not a huge problem , just irritating.

Review 42:Quiet at night, wonderful greeting when we arrived, helpful at desk , comfortable bed .

Review 43:Nothing.

Review 44:This is the place we stay every time we travel to Erie. We love the friendliest of the staff, how clean the rooms are and how quiet it is. Glass House Inn is conveniently located to some of Erie's best attractions. We have stayed here multiple times and don't have any complaints. This is our go to place in Erie.

Review 45:Didn't get a chance to enjoy breakfast d/t early departure. Maybe offer a breakfast to go like a muffin or piece of fruit since you already have coffee makers in room

Review 46:Staff at front desk was very nice, room was very comfortable

Review 47:I was in Eire for a Church General Synod. After being in meetings all day each day, it was great to have a quiet place to come back to and kick off my shoes. It was an easy commute to where the meetings were being held. The price was more reasonable than the hotel where the Synod was being held. The room was comfortable, the staff was very helpful.

Review 48:We couldn't stay longer, time to go home.

Review 49:The welcome upon entering, the size of the room, availability of parking, friendliness of other guests, lovely dining area, easy access to the sites of Erie.

Review 50:need stronger coffee in the morning!

Review 51:Like the fact that it is quaint. Staff went out of their way to find us additional booking for our weekend of shopping.

Review 52:Nothing

Review 53:We stayed at The Glass House Inn for three nights in September 2014. It was a perfect home base for travel to Presque Isle State Park, the wineries and locations in downtown Erie, PA. It was our bed at night and our breakfast in the morning, we pretty much were out and about during the day. We thought the Inn was clean and comfortable, we even used the heated pool every afternoon after we got back from sight seeing and caught the last sunshine of the day, very pleasant. The staff was friendly and we had a chance to speak with the owners daily during our stay. We've already talked about staying here again when we return to this area.

Review 54:Morning traffic was enough to keep me from going back to sleep after along early.

Review 55:The location and price of this hotel was perfect. It's not flashy or spacious, but it was friendly, clean, and functional.

Review 56:Couldn't figure out the window air conditioner controls. By the time I needed assistance, it was after 10:30 PM & the office was closed. If complimentary breakfast is going to offer bagels, please find something to offer besides Lender's. Fruit & muffins were OK.

Review 57:Good job of refurbishing an older highway motel. Fresh paint & carpet. No old/musty smells. Flowers, pool well cared for. Staff was pleasant & answered questions about local restaurants. Bed & chairs comfortable. 2 windows that opened for evening breeze.

Review 58:Traffic noise. Very small refrigerator. The rooms and furnishings were very outdated but everything was clean. We stayed 2 nights and they forgot to clean our room, apparently it was missed by accident. The bed was somewhat hard for my taste but we would stay again for the price.

Review 59:The location was good, close to Presque Isle. It was located on a busy street but we never had a problem getting out on the highway. Within walking distance to a sandwich shop so we could pick up sandwiches for a day at the beaches. We liked the light continental breakfast. Cereal, bagels, fruit, danishes, juice and coffee. The pool looked nice but it was not hot enough to use it.

Review 60:My husband enjoyed the firm bed, but I found it quite hard.

Review 61:Great location to Presque Isle and other attractions. Well kept, heated pool. Great check-in. I recommend this establishment.

Review 62:The attitude of the girl on staff was horrible. There Christian prayer they had on the bed did not reflect at all the attitude of the one staff person. The bed might have just have been on the highway outside because that's how loud the noise was of the cars passing by all night long while I trying to sleep. Sorry but this is my honest opinion and I won't be back.

Review 63:I liked the cute little gifts they had displayed

Review 64:Bed was rock-hard, bathroom is dated, with pink fixtures and no counter space.

Review 65:The location and the wifi. The lounger and the mini-kitchen was a nice touch.

Review 66:The staff was was not friendly at all- not even good morning or good buy to us when we had breakfast & checked out. Exception is for the young lady at reception desk at the night of arrival- she was very nice to us. Very basic breakfast

Review 67:Nicely decorated rooms, very cozy place.

Review 68:We got the corner room w/small high windows- can't see out. Tried to check out @7 am to find out that office locks up until 7:30.

Review 69:Good location. Gorgeous flowers &shrubs. Nice pool. Comfy bed. Homey decor(old fashioned). Nice benches all along the walkway.

Review 70:The staff was very accommodating when unexpectedly plans changed. The accommodations were so clean and inviting. We will stay at The Glass House Inn again.

Review 72:Friendly

Review 73:Older room but clean and quiet.
