Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
This motel was very clean, especially the bathroom. The beds were not comfy, pillows were lacking, and the wiring for the coffee maker/microwave was sketchy. Also, the TV remote didn't work and had to be replaced. Then, the TV just shut off and wouldn't come back on as we were getting ready to leave.

Check-In was easy and fast but other than that it was a very bad experience. Room was very small. Bathroom is almost claustrophobic neighbors screamed and yelled all night long fighting. I had no TV waited up till 3:00 a.m. for somebody to come and fix it and they never came

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I stayed because they have a heated pool advertised. We checked in in 6/19 and stayed for 2 nights. Upon checking in I asked to cancel due to the pool not being open. They said I couldn’t. We went to our room. The tv didn’t work. There was no lightbulb in the lamp. The beds were so soft and the springs were poking through. The pillows were so soft. We had to climb over the bed to get to the fridge. The tv was reprogrammed and would randomly shut off and change stations. The shower didn’t drain and the toilet didn’t flush. I would not stay here!!

The staff is absolutely amazing, rooms well maintained, an ideal location, and an almost non-existent noise level all while being priced at an affordable price. I would highly recommend checking out the Steelhead Inn for anyone looking to visit the Erie area.
