Cobblestone Hotel & Suites - Erie
Room was clean, hotel seemed clean, the pool had some sand and grime but nothing crazy, just a bit neglected. Breakfast was pretty good no complaints. View was great, not as good as some of the taller hotels, but still great for what I paid. At around 100$ a night, I couldn't ask for more.
