Creepy and Waste of Money!
Feels like a ghetto. Don't waste your money. Drive a little farther and pay a little more, trust me!
We stayed one night only because it was late and didn't have any other options. Creepiest hotel I've stayed at. The guy at the front desk is it good worker, but not helpful. Told him we needed to leave after the first night and he said he would talk to "his people" , but never got back to us. When I asked him about it again before checkout, he said he would ask, but he doubted they would do anything for me because of the no cancellation policy regardless of reason.

Shame
Hotel was non smoking and the room smelled like cigarettes as soon as we walked in. The man at the front desk said “he’ll spray it down” in a pinch my family and I just left the theme park near by after 12 hours we wiped everything with Lysol and went to sleep and left early this morning

A bit of a let down
The hotel is in a very convenient location if you are going to Presque Isle. The staff was very nice and seemed to be very busy. The room was clean enough other than spiderweb in the bathroom window, The lack of a toilet paper holder in the bathroom I found odd. It was also strange they the room had a piece of furniture to hold the fridge and microwave but they were stacked outside of the bathroom. The pillows were horrible and need replaced. The sheets definitely need upgraded they were cheap and scratchy. Also, it would be really nice if there was two chairs out side of the room. It may seem that I am being nit picky but the stay was not cheap therefore I expected a better overall experience. We will not be staying here again next year.

I expected it to be a cheap stay but was checked into a dirty room and was moved to another room with no towels and a non wrking TV. I guess you get what paid for...
