We were mistaken to believe that this motel is close to downtown, and we ended up taking taxi for extra 20 bucks to commuting from downtown Erie to the motel everyday.. Well, it is not the motel's fault, it's a charming, old style and budget motel, just a reminder that you have to drive to visit Erie. We love the... More

My wife and i stayed in this motel for two nights on our road-trip through the USA. After visiting a lot of motelrooms of the big franchise companies, this was a very pleasant and welcome surprise. It has all the convienences of the big motels but the warmth and personal touch of a smal B&B. Rooms, service, breakfast: just perfect.... More

My wife and I prefer older motels to the chains and we've stayed in many, including quite a few in Erie, PA. At times we've been very disappointed but we don't mind taking chances. This was our first time in the Glass House Inn. The motel has long had a good reputation and we were certainly not disappointed this time.... More

As others have stated this is an older hotel. That being said I thought it was charming and that the smaller room size is understandable. The rooms are a bit dated, but everything seemed clean and neat. The outside area is lovely, all the flowers in the beds in front of the rooms were in bloom and just beautiful. Obviously... More

The Glass House Inn is a great place to stay on a budget. It was close to our relatives and Presque Ilse. The breakfast was continental, but with a great selection and fresh fruit. Eating in the homey dining room or on the enclosed porch provided a leisurely meal. The large seating area didn't make one feel they had to... More

This is the second time I have stayed at this hotel. I'm not sure if I will stay there again. The family is very personable, but the hotel itself is in need of major repairs. As this place is family run you have to get there by 11pm and no way to get to the ice machine at night. Also... More

Dear Charlie, I am very sorry you had problems with hair on your sheets. I am very confident we always change the sheets. I apologize that due to static in our laundry, hair was cleaned and dried on the sheet. Our cleaning staff should have noticed this when making the bed. I resent that you implied that we don't change... More

a get-away weekend following a quilt auction in lawrence cty....and, once again the Glass House Inn provided a nice place to stay. Very comfortable bed and reclining chair, microwave for popcorn, frig and a table to eat and play at. From here just minutes to Presque Isle and all the attractions you could want. When you compare their family owned... More

We made reservations here because of the reviews on Trip Advisor. We were impressed that it ranked as the #1 hotel in Erie. When we arrived we were rather disappointed - the inn does not look like anything special and it's located on a noisy strip highway. Our first night we did not sleep well because of the traffic noise... More

I booked this hotel through Expedia and wasn't very sure of what to expect. When we got there it was late at night so check in was super quick. The room is very standard but the fact that it is a family owned place makes you feel at home. I had no problems with the amenities except the water in... More
