This place is really nice and clean. The manager is very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely return. Thank you for the warm welcome and ideas 9f where to eat and drink.
The owners of this restaurant and motel are wonderful hardworking folks. This is a true mom and pop restaurant. The food is solid. The service is personalized and genuine. Great breakfast and lunch options. You can't go wrong here.
Just came in for brunch. Very clean and staff was very friendly. Cranberry juice is way too concentrated and my friend couldn’t even drink it. Other than that though the food was delicious!! Very reasonably priced as well. Cute little place. A little dated but that doesn’t stop the great service!
Warm inviting atmosphere and lots of windows to look out. Very clean 5 star appearence. Great fast service with a menu having many selections. Real home fries not tater tots. A great breakfast stop on East Lake Road.
Friendly staff, brought portable ac unit when main proved faulty. Room clean but musty. Good cable tv. Came closest to advertised rate. Too bad attached restaurant currently closed.
I got fish with rice. I couldn't finish it the portions were so huge. A nice little place for some nice standard food. Best recommendation? My gramma actually likes to eat here and she is so picky that half the places around are "terrible" because she wasn't 100% satisfied when she went there 7 years ago. She that kind of lady and she likes this place.
Great place, friendly owner. Unfortunately, the restaurant has closed, but there is a lovely breakfast diner within walking distance. Quiet location with little traffic or noise at night. Clean rooms.
Very nice, clean place. A little off the beaten path but the owners and the clean rooms, quiet atmosphere and at a very reasonable cost make the difference. Will definitely keep coming back every time I come to Erie.
