Easy communication with owner. All we needed was our clothes as everything else was provided. Would recommend and stay here again. ##### Jason T. Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ana Nov 4, 2024 Disliked: Communication This reservation was a total disaster. Expedia never sent me the code to enter the property. I contacted Expedia and they said that Vrbo had to send the info. Vrbo told me that the host was responsible to send the code. The contact listed in Expedia for the property did not work. I left a message with the phone provided around 6 PM and the e-mail did not allow me to send an email. After waiting until 9:30 PM Saturday night, I had to find another hotel. The host called me back at midnight Saturday, and now I am trying to get my money back. Expedia and Vrbo both refused to return my money, and they cannot just absolve themselves of their responsibility for the failure of this host. ##### Ana Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hawthorn Suites BY Wyndham Erie](https://www.expedia.ca/Erie-Hotels-Hawthorn-Suites-BY-Wyndham-Erie.h38503303.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Erie Bayfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Erie-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Erie-Bayfront.h13451072.Hotel-Information) > > [Cove Haven Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Lakeville-Hotels-Cove-Haven-Resort.h34685.Hotel-Information) > > [Baymont by Wyndham Erie](https://www.expedia.ca/Erie-Hotels-Baymont-By-Wyndham-Erie.h8119889.Hotel-Information) > > [Springhill Suites by Marriott Erie](https://www.expedia.ca/Erie-Hotels-Springhill-Suites-By-Marriott-Erie.h1768955.Hotel-Information) > > [Home2 Suites by Hilton Erie, PA](https://www.expedia.ca/Erie-Hotels-Home2-Suites-By-Hilton-Erie.h7162819.Hotel-Information) > > [Eden Resort and Suites, BW Premier Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Lancaster-Hotels-Eden-Resort-And-Suites.h27257.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites in North East (Erie) by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Erie-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hotel-Suites-In-North-East.h1990277.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield Inn by Marriott Erie Millcreek Mall](https://www.expedia.ca/Erie-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-By-Marriott-Erie-Millcreek-Mall.h695684.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Pocono Mountains, PA](https://www.expedia.ca/Scotrun-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Pocono-Mountains.h1371449.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Garden Erie](https://www.expedia.ca/Erie-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hotel-Suites-Erie.h892150.Hotel-Information) > > [Homewood Suites Erie](https://www.expedia.ca/Erie-Hotels-Homewood-Suites-Erie.h800474.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Erie Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Erie-Hotels-Solstice-Hotel.h859270.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson](https://www.expedia.ca/Grove-City-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson.h124202.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt House Allentown / Lehigh Valley](https://www.expedia.ca/Allentown-Hotels-Hyatt-House-Allentown-Lehigh-Valley.h67334524.Hotel-Information) > > [Quality Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hermitage-Hotels-Quality-Inn.h25086.Hotel-Information) > > [Skytop Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Skytop-Hotels-Skytop-Lodge.h438108.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Erie Bayfront Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Erie-Hotels-Sheraton-Erie-Bayfront-Hotel.h1899955.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Harrisburg-Hershey](https://www.expedia.ca/Harrisburg-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Harrisburg-Hershey.h5087809.Hotel-Information) > > [Wingate by Wyndham Erie](https://www.expedia.ca/Erie-Hotels-Wingate-By-Wyndham-Erie.h1784939.Hotel-Information) > > [TownePlace Suites Grove City Mercer/Outlets](https://www.expedia.ca/Hermitage-Hotels-TownePlace-Suites-Grove-City-MercerOutlets.h16043832.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn & Suites Erie - Splash Lagoon Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Erie-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Suites.h22023.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brick Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Hope-Hotels-The-Brick-Hotel.h10045025.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn Erie-South](https://www.expedia.ca/Erie-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Erie-South-I-90I-79.h116999.Hotel-Information) > > [Camelback Lodge & Aquatopia Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Tannersville-Hotels-Camelback-Mountain-Resort.h39161276.Hotel-Information) > > [Cartoon Network Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Lancaster-Hotels-Cartoon-Network-Hotel.h50407269.Hotel-Information) > > [Super 8 by Wyndham Grove City](https://www.expedia.ca/Hermitage-Hotels-Super-8-By-Wyndham-Grove-City.h159050.Hotel-Information) > > [Quality Inn & Suites Grove City - Outlet Mall](https://www.expedia.ca/Hermitage-Hotels-Quality-Inn-Suites-Grove-City-Outlet-Mall.h1596651.Hotel-Information)
