    Update: I booked a room that offered extra points for a nominal fee. I never received my extra…read morepoints. Here we are 3 weeks later and I am still having to argue with this hotel and corporate Marriott about getting the points I PAID for. Their customer service is horrible and because of this I would never stay here again. Don't offer bonus points for a fee if you aren't going to honor it! This was my first time staying at this hotel and I really liked it. The staff were very friendly during checkin and checkout. I was able to use mobile checkin which was nice. The room was nicely updated and the bed was the shining star! So comfortable! The pillows were good too, but I brought my own as well. The room was clean and had a pretty view of the marina! The bathroom was nice, but very small. It was a bit awkward trying to get in and out of the shower without getting water everywhere since it was open on the end and the sides. Also there was only enough space for 1 person to get ready or have stuff on the counter. Refrigerator in the room was nice, but disappointed there was no microwave. I had access to the club lounge which was very meh compared to Hilton lounges. It was nice to have free breakfast and there were decent options. The afternoon snacks were a nice touch although they were limited and did not fit my dietary restrictions (gluten free). Coffee was Starbucks so that was nice. The gym was large and has a very pretty view overlooking the lake! On site restaurant/ bar was decent. Again very limited gluten free options. But the salmon was good.

Plenty of lighting and charging ports/ outlets. Overall, the bed was comfortable but the pillows were too soft for me. We felt the lounge or club room was too small. They did not refill the drinks throughout the day. Also, the coffee in the lounge was not good. I did enjoy the charcuterie options though. We would definitely stay again

We were able to Uber it with no problem to and from where we were staying in the city. The architecture and the lighting and the acoustics in this building are amazing. The Erie, Philharmonic orchestra, and the choir were quite enjoyable to listen to with the music from avatar, Star Trek, and Star Wars.

When and if there are cancellations with concerts, usually they don't find out at the last second or minute. I get that certain artists/bands can't or won't show up because of the weather. I lived in Erie for awhile, I currently live south 90 minutes. My sister still lives in the heart of Erie. My husband bought 8 tickets to see Lou Gramm on 12/12/24. It's on his bucket list, and mine as well. Fast forward, weather emergency in Erie 10 days ago.... We get that happens. LONG story short we were told via the artist's email list that the concert has been postponed until early April (exact date not set as of yet). OK, cool.... Contacted Erie Events and no answer. They continue to update their page with "closed" or boasting new shows, yet cannot answer a question via Facebook. 4 days later, I receive a response saying to "please contact" a certain email address regarding my question. So, I did just that. 3 days later I get a generic response stating they cannot "confirm or deny" the show has been postponed or changed. Here's the deal... OUR group of 8 live over 90 minutes away. We ALL took at least 1.5 days or 2 off because of this concert. WE ALL paid for a hotel room. None of us are rich, we're simply wanting to see the best artist to ever live, Mr. Lou Gramm. We all need to cancel our hotel rooms (obviously) so we aren't charged for no reason if the show doesn't happen. I could go on and on. We saw Donnie Iris last May, we had an idiot spill beer on us who squeezed into the front row. It took security 3 songs to realize the guy was shouting "F" this and that. And, I think it was Donnie's crew who notified security, not them noticing there was an extra random guy screaming for no reason.....IN THE FRONT ROW. During John Mellencamp show we were not allowed to have the lids on our cups we pay top dollar for, just to be able to take into show. We were told that we'd "get replacements" at the next show because at the previous 'rap' show people tore the place up. A couple years ago Pat Benatar cancelled yet we were already there and only notified because of the lot attendant. A couple weeks ago Nitro Circus was cancelled. NOBODY knew until the time of the show. People waiting in line to get in. NOBODY notified until their not so wonderful staff posted a simple piece of paper on door saying it was cancelled. UPDATING the website would help A LOT. If someone is able to update that the electricity is out and posting new dates for new acts, then you can post for anything that is postponed or cancelled. I LOVE ERIE and Erie Events. I don't know if it is the new management or what is going on but personally, it's gone downhill, and fast. VERY disappointing. I will never try to take away the beauty of this place and what a gem it used to be. As of this date, 12/08/2024, I will never recommend anyone go there. I will also never purchase another ticket unless I know there is a change at the boxoffice.

    I can't wait to go back! The Courtyard was what we hoped for…read moreand more. Beautifully positioned on the bay, the hotel had an amazing view, especially from the front walk and infinity pool. We stayed at this hotel as a family of 5 (including an infant) and we were very comfortable for us. There's a smaller cafe in the lobby that serves coffee and breakfast. It was much better than I anticipated. We tried a few breakfast items and I think we may have enjoyed it more than the actual restaurant itself. We tried it on a very sunny day so no umbrella was going to help us from the sunshine and heat. The only downside is that there were some yellowjackets on the bushes during our meal, which we addressed with management. Not sure if they took care of it but it drove us inside to finish our meal. Had that not happened, we would have had a 5 star experience. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and nice. We stayed over a few nights when there was construction and it detoured how we returned to the hotel. The nightly rate is quite high but it was overall such a nice experience I thought it was worth it. It was a bit annoying that we were also charged a parking fee given the rate. I think it should be included. Overall a great experience. If you plan to stay in Erie this hotel is your place!

    I have always been a big fan of Bayside of Erie. My family and I frequently visit for weekend…read moregetaways, and it's long been one of our favorite destinations. For my birthday this year, I decided to make the trip extra special by booking a balcony room at the Courtyard by Marriott--a feature I had never experienced before in Erie. I made the reservation back in March for a June stay, paying in advance and carefully planning our trip. I was genuinely excited and had everything mapped out, even beginning to pack. Less than 24 hours before check-in, I received a lengthy email from a supervisor informing me that my reservation had been moved to a nearby property. No prior notice, no meaningful explanation--just a last-minute change. When I called the hotel for clarification, the only information I was given was that the property had been oversold. Unfortunately, it certainly felt like my reservation was displaced in favor of another group, possibly a wedding party or similar event. To make matters more confusing, about an hour later I received another automated email confirming my original reservation and saying they were "looking forward to my visit." This level of disorganization and miscommunication only added to the frustration. Altogether, this was an incredibly disappointing experience. It's very discouraging to be treated this way as a loyal guest who planned well in advance. Since then, I've read other reviews and discovered that this is not an isolated incident--particularly when it comes to balcony or bay view rooms. Sadly, this experience has completely soured my perception of the property, and I will not be returning. It's hard to support a business that treats its guests this way. Good luck and happy travels to others--I sincerely hope your experience is better than mine.
