The staff was very helpful and nice. Room was clean and served it's purpose well. The kids enjoyed the pool.The breakfast was OK, for the price you could not complain (4.00 per person). This Hotel is within walking distance of a great Steak and Seafood Restaurant. It is also very close to the Water and Amusement Park. We would definitely stay there again!!! http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Clarion_Hotel_Conference_Center/r1190931 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Clarion_Hotel_Conference_Center/r523025 This was our third stay here over the past 10 months. We only live 107 miles away but enjoy coming to Erie for the shopping, zoo, casino, lake, and many restaurants. The hotel itself is very close to the lake and several water parks, however we come in the winter months and stay here mainly for the large indoor pool our 5yr old loves. Check out the Choice Hotels web site for some really nice pictures. The staff has been extremely helpful, attentive, and professional. This past trip we invited my parents to come stay. They live nearby in Bradford Pa. We had adjoining rooms, pool level, king non-smoking. The rooms were nicely decorated, and the bedding far exceeded our expectations for a $69 a night establishment. "I'm guessing the rates are higher during the summer months" I would compare the rooms to those of a Courtyard or higher end Hampton Inn property. We requested a roll away for our daughter. I'm assuming because I made my reservation over the Choice Hotel web site and indicated 2 adults and 1 child the staff made the extra effort to place a large stuffed animal on our bed. I'm assuming that because there wasn't one in my parent’s room. The stuffed animal was a great hit although she wanted to take it home. lol. Maybe they could offer them for sale at the front desk in the future. I didn't ask. She has enough. We haven't eaten at Victors, the onsite restaurant but have heard people at the pool comment the food was very good. We have enjoyed the hotel breakfast there though. It's one of the better spreads I've come across and I spend 60-70 nights a year in hotels for business. The hotel has recently begun charging $4 for breakfast. I was a little disappointed by this but it's definitely worth it. I was going to make a stink because the web site still lists free breakfast, but we love it so much here and the $4 is a bargain for what you get! We have stayed at two other choice properties in Erie over the past year as well as one of the several Marriott offerings. The Clarion is the best deal by far in our opinion. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Clarion_Hotel_Conference_Center/r523025 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Clarion_Hotel_Conference_Center/r1088248 I have dined at the Bel Aire several times in the last few years with no regets at all - ever ... The service is always very good, the food is very good as well and it is reasonably priced. They are located very close to the peninsula as well for the torists in the area. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Clarion_Hotel_Conference_Center/r1088248 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Clarion_Hotel_Conference_Center/r523026 The breakfast was good and the choice of pillows and bedding was nice...HOWEVER, my stay was ruined by inept front desk clerks. I reserved my room for 2 nights, but when checking in, I told the clerk that I would be checking out by 6 pm the following day and I asked about the possibility of getting a reduced rate or not having to pay the next night. I was told that it probably wouldn't be a problem. I said great. When I checked out the next day by 4:30, I was told I would be charged full price because the cleaning staff had already left for the day and so the hotel couldn't resell my room. Why wasn't I told this when I checked in?! This was unacceptable to me. Don't tell me it probably won't be a problem and then the next day not even consider not charging me for the second night. If the fist desk clerk did not know this policy he should have checked or said that I would be charged. Check out ruined an otherwise medicore hotel stay. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Clarion_Hotel_Conference_Center/r523026 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Clarion_Hotel_Conference_Center/r613228 This is our second year at the Clarion BelAir. It is a perfect landing spot for our annual mother/daughter shopping trip to Erie. The hot breadfast and comfortable rooms make this a place to come back to again and again. The room was musty smelling upon arrival, but cleared out after a few minutes. New beds, pillows, and comforters added to the feeling of luxury. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Clarion_Hotel_Conference_Center/r613228 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Clarion_Hotel_Conference_Center/r523027 Liked how the pool and the hot tub were inside the hotel very pretty,tropical surroundings. Victor's restaurant was very nice and the food was great! Loved how you are able to have meals over looking the pool and hot tub! The price range for room and restaurant was good. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Clarion_Hotel_Conference_Center/r523027 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Clarion_Hotel_Conference_Center/r613229 I stayed there for a week. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The Breakfasts were awesome. Never had a problem with service. Never had to wait in any line for any food, there was always more than pleny for everyone. Enjoyed my stay very much and would stay here again anytime. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Clarion_Hotel_Conference_Center/r613229
