The location is very good, the restaurant can watch the sunset, the Sheraton location next door is a little bit worse, blocked from sight! But the dinner at the restaurant is not as good as the Sheraton! Little choice!

We were pleasantly surprised by the size of our king room suite. The full sized refrigerator was a huge plus. It did need some attention given to the carpet in the living room area as there are (what looked like) tomato sauce stains and a juice stain. It also needed vacuumed better. The mattress was softer than we are normally used to, but wasn't bad. I think it's the first hotel room I've ever walked into and the a/c was actually on and the room was nice and cool. The breakfast was a normal hotel breakfast, w/o orange juice. Nothing special. My husband said ”they use real eggs and not carton or powdered.” Being a holiday weekend, they were having trouble keeping up with the supply/demand for breakfast. It is noisy at night until about midnight with cars and motorcycles flying up/down the street. Music across the street is also pretty loud. I cannot say enough about the front desk staff. Matt was extremely nice when we checked in, and he also came up to the room because we couldn't figure out the bedroom TV. It's only about a 3-4 minute drive to Presque Isle State Park. All in all I would consider staying here again.

The hotel is in a great location, very friendly check in and clean lobby area! The gym had several options for cardio and weights, workout benches and a cable machine. Small indoor pool and hot tub, which was nice. Cute restaurant with outdoor igloos. The menu looked great but we didn't eat there. Coffee available in the lobby every morning.

This was my third stay at the Hampton Inn Bayfront and while the location and property remain worthy of a 5-circle rating, but some flaws on the most recent visit have me scaling that back a bit. Such things become much more difficult to overlook with the high rates that this hotel routinely charges. While I praise this Hampton Inn to high heavens for offering daily housekeeping as the standard (too many hotels aren't these days), they unfortunately failed to clean my room. While all rooms have a water view of some type, I find that the ones facing the ”harbor” are much better than the ones facing the maritime museum. I'll also give the hotel major kudos for having a 12 noon checkout time as the standard. The room itself was of decent size, comfortable and clean. The bathroom was clean and in generally good condition with the exception of a large chunk taken out of the bathtub. The curtains block out morning sunlight quite well. The breakfast is decent. The location of this hotel is one of its best attributes, as it offers a great view of the bayfront area and also is a integral part of the area, including Oliver's Beer Garden (same owner as the hotel) right out the back door and on the water. It's family-friendly (at least until 10 p.m.) and includes a nice miniature golf course. The setting is spectacular and the nearly entirely outdoor space very well done and offering live entertainment on some nights. The beer garden's prices (for both food and drinks) is at the extreme high end for Erie. There are other less expensive options, but not with an environment quite that awesome.

The room is spacious and comfortable, clean and hygienic, with complete facilities and friendly service.

We were in town for a basketball tournament and stayed 2 nights. Our room was very clean and beds were comfortable. Front desk staff was very accommodating and helpful especially with our large group. Only downside would be they ran out of pool towels at one point. The mall is literally right across the street and several restaurants are close by. Great location!

This was our second stay at this Homewood Suites for business purposes. The first time we were here, we arrived pretty late on a Sunday night, and the mall that was in close proximity to the hotel was closed and dark - the area looked kind of creepy. Add to that the fact that one of the party was awakened in the night by the sound of something going on outside, and looked out to see someone rooting around in the trunk of one of the vehicles, and police taking them away in handcuffs. This most likely colored our perception of the place. This time, however, was a different story. We arrived early in the evening, the stores in the mall were still open, and there were no incidents in the night. Our room was very clean and nice. Not sure if the suites on the 2nd floor are nicer than those on the third floor (where we were placed on our earlier visit), but this room seemed to be a cut above what our recollection of the last stay was. If things have been improved, then bravo!
