Pete's Lakefront Motel

Parking was terrible. Spaces were so small, it was painted for golf cart parking, not for vehicles. We had to walk down steep stairs with hand rails way too low, it did not feel safe at all. 7 digit code for door? Ridiculous. I paid for a “Lakefront” room, but out the front door of our room was nice view of the neighbor’s house next to the motel, had to make a turn walk to the end of deck to see the lake, that was a flat out lie. Especially after seeing there were actual LAKEFRONT rooms available. About 2:30 in the morning, awaken by people screaming and hollering in the lake/beach. 4 drunk college kids playing in the lake. Then in about 5 am, the front door swung open and woke me up. I went out to see there were 3 people by the lake smoking pot. There was no safety chain lock on the door and wonderful beam of light coming in between the door/jam gap, letting light and bugs in the room. There was no hair dryer, no microwave, no open outlets to plug in anything. Hotel manager calls to scream and yell on the phone for "throwing" towel at the housekeepers???!! When they came knocking to clean the room, I just asked for fresh towels and gathered the used ones by the front door to receive the clean ones. Manager had no skills or training to deal with customers. Place was very cheaply built, not maintained, not cleaned, bugs everywhere in the room by hundreds, no security, very poor standards. Avoid Pete's trash hole, avoid Geneva on the Lake. Not worth a visit.

It was clean

Hidden gem!!

We enjoyed our weekend a Pete's. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Our stay was really good except for the parking. Not enough parking and people taking up two spots

Lacking enough electrical outlets for charging phones/other electronics. Also had to unplug the refrigerator to plug in the coffee pot. Bathroom needed some repairs such as shower curtain and toilet paper roll

So it’s a pretty nice view and deck the room was super clean. But the beach area and patio were dirty. Put a broom in the room for ppl since there’s a beach out front and clean up the beach are this would not take long it would be free to do and would make big improvement and get hot water for crying out loud

We were lucky to get a room facing the lake. Beautiful view. There are chairs outside the door to sit and enjoy the breeze and view.

Great location, perfect lake views. This is an older motel. It shows its age. The door seals look like they should have been replaced years ago. Bugs get in through the cracks. But the management has updated the interiors of the rooms. There are newer floors, fresh paint, the mattress was very comfortable and it was spotlessly clean. Overall I would recommend it for people who are not picky. The views are really outstanding and everything in GOTL is in walking distance. Some pointers - There is no pool on site. You can walk down the street to tge sister motel for their pool. Parking is tight, make sure you are good at reversing. The "beach" is subjective. You can access the water from the stairs, but there is no place to really sit. There is no office or staff to talk to other than housekeeping. You revieve a text with a door code. For my husband and I, it was worth it and we would go back at that price point.

No soap

The best location and Very reasonable rates. . No staff was onsite. Staff was at the hotel across the street under the same management. Everything walking distance and right on the lake.Marvelosus views.

This is our 2nd time staying here and as long as our group doesn't grow any bigger, we will return here every year. Lisa was super responsive.

Never encountered an employee. Lobby closed at 5 in afternoon. Used key pad for entry into room. Room clean. About what I expected: very basic room at a good price. View of Lake Erie from room made me happy! The deck out back provided an exceptional view!!

Wonderful view of Lake Erie. The toilet pump stopped working each night which also stopped the air conditioner. Will say owners responded quickly to rectify the situation.

It was easy to check in and is within walking distance of everything on the strip.

The check in was kind of a mess as we never got the text with the code when booking. Had to call the emergency number twice to get anyone. Other than that very clean. Quiet. Would love to book again

Small but clean rooms. Some insects. Bottom of the door looked like it had a tiny open, unsealed area so that could be why. Need more outlets to plug devices in. Two day stay, it worked for us. Would stay here again.

Scalding hot water in the shower ruined the experience as 4 of u were unable to shower. I have yet to receive a promised $100 refund for the experience. I talk to the housekeeper. That’s who calls me back. Bless her but where is management?

Everything was on point

The room was clean. The parking lot spaces are tight. We were there for two nights and at least one patron had to park on the street every night. I asked for our used towels to be removed from the room, they were not. If you are a handicapped person there is no way you can get a room with a view of the lake or even access the deck to view the lake as the steps are very steep.
