NOT FOR FAMILIES

WARNING!!! There are multiple unsavory long-term residences at this property. It is NOT family friendly.

Affordable, good location, bed was a bit uncomfortable
Mary Elizabet, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Very rundown.

I’ve seen cheap hotels before, but usually they are making some effort to improve. This hotel seems like it gave up on that long ago. Instead of just having one thing wrong with the room, there were several. Bugs everywhere, a bent door that doesn’t seal, a wet floor from overflowing toilet, a bed that is caved in in the middle. A TV that doesn’t work. An air conditioner with all of the knobs broke off. A toilet that doesn’t completely flush and just all around outdated.

Formal Request for Full Refund Due to Uninhabitable Conditions – July 12 Stay To Steelhead Inn Management, I am writing to formally request a full refund for my stay at your property on July 12, 2024, which I booked through Hotels.com. The conditions of the room and the experience I endured with my family were unacceptable, especially under the circumstances we were facing. That evening, I had just left the emergency room after my husband was treated for heat exhaustion. I was alone with him and our two young children, trying to find a safe place to rest after a chaotic and frightening day. What I found at Steelhead Inn was the opposite of safe, clean, or acceptable. The issues included: • A broken television, for which you sent a maintenance worker to our room after 10 PM, further disrupting our already stressed and exhausted family. • A shower so full of bugs it could not drain, making it impossible for anyone to bathe. The infestation was deeply unsanitary and disturbing. • We were forced to pack up and move rooms late at night — an unreasonable and distressing situation with two small children. This was not a minor inconvenience. It was a nightmare stay after a medical emergency, and it failed to provide even the most basic standard of hospitality and hygiene. No family should have to endure what we did. I am requesting a full refund of returned to my original form of payment, within 7 business days. If I do not receive confirmation of this refu

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.

This was a great little affordable motel. The room was nice and everything was clean, if not a bit cramped but all you really do is sleep there. Will definitely stay again.
