The place was clean and comfortable. Must walk steps to room 9. Liked the location. Room 9, lake view was on the side of the building, not facing lake. There were no chairs on the side deck to sit and drink coffee and see lake. No coffee maker in room. But, there is a convenient store across the street to get coffee. The beach is non usable. You can't easily access the beach. You can't lay on the beach with a towel. There is a wall you have to clinb down to get to beach and beach is more stones than sand. I had to walk down to sands motel to use the pool about 500 ft. Away. Comfortable Bed and pillows. Bathroom was basic but clean.

Furniture was quite old and shaby but mattress was comfortable. Room was clean but a bit old smelling. No hair dryer but not a horrible place. Close to the action. Would stay again

The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was professional but the front desk closed at 11pm and no one stayed on site. There is a little ice machine in the office that makes a few cups at a time; bring your own ice if you need more than that. Lovely area, little private beach, nice decks overlooking the lake. Bed was comfortable. The windows need shades to keep the light out (porch lights are directly outside).

The property was not as clean as we’re accustomed to. Found a pubic hair stuck to a wash cloth, brown stains all over the ceiling, the door did not shut all of the way, and parking was limited. Very noisy guests at night, being on a party strip guess this should be expected. The smell of the lake was like dead fish for some reason, but the lake didn’t smell like that at other areas of Lake Erie. Walking distance GOTL, so lots of options for food and live music.

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was recently painted, newer floors, and the vanity and toilet updated. The bed sheets were clean but I immediately removed the bedspread and pillows in shams. The pool was at another hotel. My biggest issue (as a solo female traveler) was the lack of locks on the very lightweight door. There was only a flimsy handle lock. No deadbolt, safety bar/chain, or “peep” hole. Also, there was no one on site overnight. Thankfully I didn’t have any problems but I didn’t feel as safe as I could have.

This was a "spur of the moment" type stay, and what a gem. We had waterfront, which was a great view! The place is dated, but that did not at all deter from our overall enjoyment of the place. The little town is very walkable, and we saw it all. We were not there when it was really crowded, but it was fun. Hit a few bars, and dinner next door. (The fish tacos are great.) Fun find.

Clean, comfortable and reasonably priced.
Glad we found Pete's on a cross country trip. Located on the strip it was convenient to bars, shops, restaurants, music and the lake. Rooms in the front are priced lower than the rooms with lake view. We arrived just before sunset so extra $ for lake view didn't make sense for us. Room was very clean and bed was comfortable. Walls are thin so we could hear our loud neighbors. Neighbors on the other side were quiet and we didn't hear them at all.

I really enjoyed my stay at Pete’s only one problem. The only way to get Wi-Fi on the phones was to walk up to the office and stand there. I was waiting on a call from a friend that was watching my dog for me to see how the dog was doing Because she wasn’t eating for her. I had no way to get a phone call or to call out. You really need to have a landline in your rooms. We also had a problem getting the TV on and I had to go up to the office. Finally get onto the Wi-Fi and call the manager to find out that apparently when the rooms are clean, the TV is unplugged it would be nice to have been told that instead of having to call at 9 o’clock at night and have someone come over to help us with it. Also would’ve been nice to have a landline in the room so I didn’t have to run up and down the stairs to get to the office to use the Wi-Fi , other than that was really pleasant

I liked It was right on the lake. Was difficult. The lower rooms are down 2 flights of steps hard for anyone with a walking problem.
