My stay at the Bel-Aire Hotel Lake Erie had its ups and downs. While the accommodations and location were decent, I was disappointed with the service and the state of the facilities, particularly since there was no breakfast provided as advertised, and the pool was closed throughout my visit.

I missed having a full breakfast as advertised. The dining offered was lackluster, and during my stay, it seemed like there was barely enough staff to handle the breakfast setup, leading to delays.

The pool area looked inviting, but it was closed during my stay. It would have been nice to enjoy that space, especially since it seemed vibrant and well-decorated.

5.0/10

During my stay at Bel-Aire Hotel Lake Erie, I appreciated the spaciousness of my room, which had a lovely view of the pool. However, the hotel does show signs of needing upgrades, particularly in terms of cleanliness and maintenance. The staff was incredibly friendly, but I found their help with directions lacking. Overall, it was a mixed experience, but I might consider another visit if improvements are made.

Rooms

6.0

My room was surprisingly spacious, resembling half of my house with a great view of the pool. The sofa was incredibly comfortable, and the bed ensured a good night's sleep. However, some areas could use a thorough cleaning as there were lingering smells.

Service

5.0

The staff was extremely friendly, which I appreciated. However, I found them unhelpful regarding simple inquiries like finding the elevator and receiving the correct room.

Location

8.0

The hotel's location is fantastic, just 2.3 miles from Presque Isle, making it perfect for walking and biking. It's close to local attractions, but be prepared for an older hotel that needs upgrades.

Dining

I found the dining experience quite underwhelming; one overwhelmed staff member was trying to manage everything alone, and the beverage offerings were sparse.

Facilities

5.0

While the pool area was a nice touch, the overall maintenance seemed off, with dark and dingy hallways beckoning for some fresh paint and new carpeting.

My stay at Bel-Aire Hotel Lake Erie was a mix of some highlights and notable disappointments. While the location was fantastic for accessing Presque Isle and nearby restaurants, the condition of my room was concerning. Service was friendly, but the issues with cleanliness and maintenance overshadowed the positives.

Rooms

The room I stayed in had some significant cleanliness issues. the shower curtain had mold and the overall condition felt neglected. It definitely didn't feel worth more than $50 for the night.

The staff was really friendly and attentive, though there were some service lapses. Even when I raised concerns, the follow-up was lacking, which contributed to my dissatisfaction.

Location

5.0

The hotel’s location is unbeatable. right next to Millcreek Mall and just a short drive to the beaches. This aspect truly made my stay more enjoyable.

Dining

5.0

Dining options in the hotel were disappointing. I had to wait a long time for food and the restaurant was closed even though the website stated it was open. This made meal planning difficult during my stay.

Facilities

5.0

Facilities needed improvement overall. The pool area wasn't clean, which meant I couldn't enjoy swimming. Plus, I noticed peeling paint in the common areas, which added to the rundown feel of the place.
