Nice experience at the Glass House. About 10 min drive to downtown and lakefront. Small continental breakfast provided. Pool and parking in front of your room! The friendly staff are very helpful. Wifi included.

My brother and his family live in Erie, so we visit a few times a year. My parents, my husband, and I enjoy discovering the interesting things that the area offers! Erie is a cool city with a lot of activity- on the lake and otherwise! This hotel is a great family-run quaint place in a central location that will... More

We reserved the Glass House Inn at the last minute for a weekend biking trip to Presque Isle. We chose it because of the room that fits 5 -- it was comfortable and fit us well. The room was impeccably clean and very well maintained. They had just redone their landscaping, and it looked great. The owners and staff were... More

My fishing partner and I stayed at the Glass House Inn from May 17 to May 21, 2013. We arrived at 11:30am and were able to check in and get into our room. Tim showed me where I could park my boat trailer, and provided an extension cord, so I could charge my trolling motor batteries each night. The room... More

Thank you for the review. Tim and I do work hard to make our motel clean and comfortable for our guests. We do provide a free light continental breakfast. We do not have a full breakfast. We use the recommended amount of coffee in the Bunn coffee maker. We provide Lenders bagels, Danish and muffins. Cold cereals and instant oatmeal.... More

My husband and I stayed here for one night in May 2013. The friends we were visiting in Fairview told us about the Glass House and one other place nearby. Based on price, I chose the Glass House and the price was reasonable for the room. We were going birding at Presque Isle, and the location was very convenient. Check... More

Tim and I are so glad you gave us a try. We know it's hard to know what your going to get when you stay at a older and smaller motel. The tripadvisor site is such a help to us. Thank you for staying with us and sending this nice review. Hope to have you back soon. sincerely, Laura More

My three children and I were displaced from our home due to a tragic fire. If it were not for the extremely convenient location of Glass House Inn, there would have been no other viable option for us to remain in the vicinity of my children's schools. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this place existed to accomodate our... More

I'm not sure what the rave reviews are about. I travel quite a bit and stay in everything from center city Marriotts to backpacker lodges in Central America. The Glass House Inn is absolutely average. It's fine, but mediocre-average and to my mind overpriced. Sleeping wasn't the best here. The location is inherently noisy (lots of road traffic) and the...

I feel badly that you didn't have a better experience at our motel. We work hard to update our carpeting, furnishings, painting and tile work in many rooms every year. Several rooms are getting new carpet and new tile in the coming weeks and we have been painting all spring. Unfortunately we don't get to every room at once. We... More

When booking a hotel for my recent business trip to Erie, I decided to look into some simpler, less expensive lodgings. I was hoping to find a good old fashioned “mom and pop” type of place, and I discovered Glass House Inn. It is a quaint, modest little 1-story motel with some bushes and shrubs lining the walkway in front... More

Thank you for staying with us. Yes, I remember that day you arrived it had been in the 70's the day before and the thermostats were all turned down since the A/C's were on. So the next day when it was winter-like, we had to get that hot water circulating again:) Thank you for rating us highly for sleep quality,... More
