Marienville Vacations from $979

Old facility, still has charm but needs total commitment to rehab to glory days or let it go

Shower in cottage is quite small. My husband, who is small, felt cramped. Cabin itself is also very small. Sunset over the lake was probably the best we’ve ever seen.

This is our third stay at the hotel. Everything was great except the breakfast was a bit lean.

We stayed from a Sunday to a Tuesday. It wasn't overly busy. The breakfast was reasonable. The space to eat breakfast was small, but we managed. As I said, it wasn't too busy. The pool wasn't huge, but was refreshing. It wasn't open the morning we checked out. The room was clean and well maintained. We were on the ground floor, and our window looked out over a small green space. The rooms on the other side look out to the parking lot. One thing to be aware of is that this is a wood frame building. So if you're on the ground floor, and there are noisy people above you (or perhaps beside you), you'll know it! This was our experience on our second night. It wasn't overly disruptive for us, or kept us up, so we didn't complain. Just an observation. As far as location, it's away from the downtown, or the Peach St. area, which makes it quieter. The Bayfront Connector will get you right down by the water in about 15 minutes. And it's a reasonable drive to get to the popular shopping and dining areas. It's also right across the road from Penn State Behrend, which has a lovely campus to walk or drive through. We would stay here again. A shout out to Erie Brewing, and Johns Wildwood Pizzeria where we had dinner on the Monday night.

There was no type of breakfast as stated including no coffee. Pillows were completely flat with hardly any stuffing. Asked for 3 more and kindly brought 3 decent ones. Room had carpet and not laminate flooring as stated. AC was not needed it was a cooler day. Shower was decent but only half dollar size soap discs .
