Nice, but will check others next time.
Pros:

Clean

Cons:

Key card for parking didn't work. Watched for a half of a hour other people trying to use their card. None worked until you hit help. Also the shower was ridiculous, curtain not long enough and no water pressure. Not enough light in bathroom , could not even see to shave or wife to do makeup.

Pros:

Nice decor and close to the water

Cons:

We were given at first a room with a view of air conditioning machines and a TV that didn’t work. After complaining (we had a booked a marina view) front desk switched us.
I feel for the price parking and a breakfast credit should be a courtesy

Terrible Stay at a Marriott for longtime Marriott Members!
Pros:

My husband (who is disabled and in a wheelchair chair) and I booked a room overlooking the bay for a 2 day stay with our dog at the Sheraton. We were given a room on the second floor next to the banquet room. While there they had a wedding both nights that we were there. The music was very loud. The hotel advertised dog friendly but they only had a strip of grass bordering their entrance. We had to walk to the Mariott next door for our dog to have a place to use the bathroom. We informed the checkin clerk upon arrival that we booked the roll in shower and our dog was a service animal and firstly was still charged $75, and secondly the roll in shower room with chair was faulty and broke while my husband was showering causing him to fall. The staff only offered to get the chair fixed once we checked out and deducting one day of parking. This alone didn’t help my situation due to my husband falling and I am very unimpressed with their customer service skills. The only good thing I can say about this hotel is that our room was very clean but we would never stay there again. Do yourself a favor and don't book this hotel if you are traveling with your dog or require actual ADA amenities.

Loved seeing beautiful Lake Erie out my window! Fabulous location and beautiful hotel. Good food, too!
Pros:

Dog friendly. Nice, excellent cleaners and front desk black guy was super nice. Sorry, I didn’t get his name. Service at restaurant was excellent too. A woman and man.

Cons:

Outside deck with comfy chairs outside pool on side of building could have been opened as a quieter place to sit outside. Was locked.

View was nice, hotel was overall nice but seemed overpriced for the location and services.
Pros:

Mattress materila was comfortable. Food at restaurant was good and specialty drinks were inventive and tasty. Elec car charging was available.

Cons:

Mattress seemed sunken in the middle and raised at the edges. Food at restaurant was good but service was very slow, however we were dining late. Parking seemed overpriced for the area and considering the cost of the room.

about a seven out of ten. seemed over priced.
Pros:

view was very nice,room and bed were fine.

Cons:

room safe had problems, had to be fixed twice in two days. tv remote died on the last day. Hotel guests have to pay to pay to park in there garage or parking meaters on the street. Resturant food and service were good but the portions were a bit small for the price.

Didn’t get what I paid for…
Pros:

Reserved a room here for the holiday weekend and it was obviously very expensive but a great way to watch the fireworks. For that price, though, I expected a shorter line at check-in, an open pool, and no grubby handprints all over the room. Luckily the staff was helpful in resolving our issues but if I had known the pool would not be available I would have booked elsewhere so this was very disappointing.

Fabulous views and convenient location for a visit to Presque Isle
Pros:

I stayed in mid-May as part of a birdwatching group. The hotel provided complementary parking for members of the group, which was much appreciated. Leo was friendly and helpful at check-in.

The room was spacious and clean, with extra floor space for suitcases, plenty of seating, and a small table. I had a bay front room, so the views were amazing. There was a lot of lighting in the bedroom area. Bed was comfortable.

There was a mini fridge and a bottle of water. The room did not have a microwave. There was a communal microwave in the vending area. It was spotless the first couple times I tried to use it to heat a cup of tea. On my final morning, someone had used it to make oatmeal and had made a mess, so I had to ask for a cup of hot water in the lobby for my tea.

Bathroom had a standalone shower, which is great. The shelves in the shower were a little too small for my personal toiletries, and the grab bars were in an inconvenient location. Lighting was ok, but could use a little more.

Hallways were noisy on the weekend from other guests being loud.

The Marriott app made ordering room service easy. Room service was fast and delicious, although not a ton of meal options.

Parking was conveniently attached, although one of the doors between the hotel and garage did not have a button that you could press to open the doors, so it was a little challenging to navigate with suitcases. The door closest to the hotel did have that option.

Overall, I would stay here again.
