At the El Patio, you're just minutes from 7 miles of beaches at Presque Isle State Park. In addition to great swimming and sunbathing, here you'll find hiking, biking and rollerblading trails, canoe and boat rentals, sight-seeing boat tours, shore and charter fishing and much more. Just two blocks from the El Patio is Waldameer Park and Waterworld, with plenty of rides, slides, games and shows. Of course there are also go-carts, bumper cars, miniature golf and a driving range near by and for sports fans, it's a short drive downtown for pro sports with the Erie SeaWolves AA baseball and Erie Otters OHL hockey. The El Patio is also a sportsmen's paradise, just minutes from some of the best hunting and fishing areas in the region. During the famous steelhead runs at nearby Walnut and Elk Creeks, offer special off-season rates autumn and early winter, so you can fish longer and more often. The motel amenities include Erie's largest outdoor swimming pool, sand volleyball, basketball, shuffleboard and horseshoes, amazing fishing nearby, Choo Choo's Pub, Free cable TV and HBO and Special off season rates for fishermen.

Choo Choo's Pub
Located right inside the El Patio Motel, Choo Choo's Pub offers specials every day. Seasonal highlight is the Venus Swimwear contest held every July. Folks come all summer to chug cold drafts over games of beach volleyball, Marco Polo, and basketball in the massive courtyard/playpen. Choo Choo's gets it's name from the 175 foot-long train track that runs along the ceiling, a tribute to the locomotive plant that's Erie's largest employer. Come on down and blow off some steam at Choo Choo's Pub.

Bed bugs!

Do NOT stay here! I paid $59.99 to stay for one night in this total dump, and woke up the next morning with about 20 bug bites on my upper torso. I called the hotel to let them know about the bites, and the person who answered the phone said, "ok." No apology, no acknowledgment.

As bad as it gets.

When we made reservation we asked for non smoking.We were put in a smoking room. Told management and he was nice and gave us a non smoking room but it was not clean at all. Had to strip sheets and spray with lysol and use sleeping bags. Wife didn't sleep at all wanted to leave as soon as we check in. Even our 7 year old said it was a dump. Metal stairs were rotted and cig butts and beer cans everywhere.There were a bunch off drunks drinkg and eating in pool area. This place needs to be knocked down and rebuilt. Not a single nice thing to say about this place other then good location to Waldameer. You get what you pay for with this one and that is not much. Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else.

Has gone downhill

We stayed at this hotel 5 years ago and had a nice experience. This stay left a lot to be desired. The hotel was not clean, there was a giant water puddle outside of our room that I heard a few people fall in, the stairs were covered with cigarette butts and trash. Our TV was from really old and barely worked. There were tons of bikers that stay the same weekend as us and the noise, profanity, and drinking was out of control. We will not be staying here again.

Very close to everything. Walking

Very close to everything. Walking distance to amusement park. Our room was a little tight for space but found out they have larger suits with kithens for not much more then we paid. If we go back we will stay but with larger room.

What you pay for..

It was what I expected for $54 a night. The location to Presque Isle and Waldameer was unbeatable, and it was close to groceries and restaurants! It's a pretty standard 'fisherman' hotel- Old rooms, odd decor. There are a TON of hotels in the area though of the same type offering cheaper rooms..you just may not find them online. I wouldn't have paid the full originally advertised price of $85 though! It did have a nice outdoor pool- Lots of families staying there- No bath towels of any kind, but we stayed 1 night so not a problem- I did take the Clorox wipes from the car and go over handles, toilets, knobs and sinks (places often left untouched)- the room, even non smoking smelled of smoke residue, and it probably explains why our smoke detector was dismantled! Oh, and the ice machine costs to use it- bring quarters!
