The Maple Motel Erie

I made a mess of this. Travelled without GPS and I didn’t read the hotel email properly. I was in a rush. Had a meeting to go to and realised there is no reception, no staff. It’s all by electronic door code. Lesson learned. Always read the email. Anyhow, the room is basic, motels are basic! Nothing unusual.

We stayed 2 nights. It was very cozy and warm. Check-in was a little different, but good none the less. What made it different was when we pulled up, there was no office in operation, the parking lot was dark and many of the lights were out. I felt unsafe at first. Once we called the number the owner had listed, he gave us a code to dial into the keypad and we got in with no problem. I was surprised at how spacious, clean and well kept it was, and for such a reasonable price. Our room wasn't fancy. It had the basics; including a large fridge, a sink, a full size oven with a small microwave in the kitchenette. The room also had a nice size bathroom, 2 double beds, a small lamp, a few outlets, and a TV with cable and Netflix. We also had wi-fi. If we needed anything we just had to call a number and it would be taken care of. It snowed quite a bit during our stay and the parking lot was plowed a couple times daily. Checking out was easy for us because we pre-paid on line with no surprise fees. There was no key to turn in, we just simply had to lock the door behind us and go on our way. We would gladly go back. ***"Oh, the owner told us to go directly to their site to get the best price. You don't need any other sites to book here."

It was comfortable
