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

“Convenient & Nice”

Reviewed May 12, 2013

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

“Displaced From Home”

Reviewed May 3, 2013

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

Thank you for the kind review. We hope you and your family are doing well. We are glad we could help in any way in your time of need. Thanks More

“Noisy older motel”

Reviewed April 25, 2013

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

“A true classic motel in Erie”

Reviewed April 22, 2013

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

“Sometimes it is nice to avoid a chain hotel and enjoy family atmosphere”

Reviewed April 21, 2013

The Glass House Inn certainlyy lived up to all the favorable reviews I had read. The atmosphere was what one would have found around 1960 with a family run lodge. Comfortable beds with attention to detail were the order of the day. If you are interested in the way lodging used to be the Glass House Inn should appeal to... More

Thank you so much for the kind words and thank you for staying with us. We really appreciate your business and hope to see you again someday soon. Sincerely, Tim More

“Good value”

Reviewed April 17, 2013

The Glass House is a motor inn, with doors opening to the parking lot, so it is probably not for everyone. Even so, I got a very good night's sleep there. The office closes at 10pm, and I barely made it. It's not exactly clear to me what I would have had to do if it were closed, so keep... More

“Nice stay”

Reviewed February 24, 2013

Since we would be arriving after the office closed, we had to make special arrangements to get into our room . No problem. We arrived during a snow storm, however, the snow was plowed from the parking lot and removed from the walkway the first thing the next morning. The room was cozy with plenty of space. The bathroom was... More

Thanks for the nice review. We love when guests share what our small motel is like. Tripadvisor is a great way to reach guests that might otherwise only stay at the name brand hotels. Thank you for staying with us. More
