This is a busy club just not the friendliest. The food menu is extensive and the portions are…read morelarge. Generally one bartender takes care of a large bar and all patrons, which leads to a long slow line that has to form in a particular way or the regulars will cut ahead of you as you wait. The drinks are fine, not strong and there is frequently one on special each day. The waitresses won't take drink orders if you're at a table. Getting water is even a challenge and a you will hear a complaint if you ask the server. Table service isn't quick but the food is good. As an out of town, often in town visitor I want to love it like I do my home lodge, but it's just not very welcoming. They have a nice sized outside area with a run down bocci court and frequent live music in the summer months. The building is modern and open with what looks like an area that could be used as a venue for events. A large parking lot is also available on site.

Their Friday Night Fish Fry is the best in Erie if you like Lake Erie perch. My family has been…read morecoming here for years. My mom had her bridal shower here in 1959 and they still have the same tables and chairs! But back to the fish fry. Absolutely delicious and fresh Lake Erie perch lightly breaded and deep fried served with your choice of fries or an enormous pierogi and coleslaw. Each dinner also comes with a roll and butter. And you get all of this for less than $9.00! They also offer full bar service. Wait staff is super friendly!

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

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.
