Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Sunset Motel since 2000
What is your primary product or service?
Short and mid-length room rental as a year-round motel
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
The owner is a rental property owner in the City of Erie as well since 2000 at www.nwparentals.com
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We work to be extremely clean with the appropriate updates to the rooms/amenities while keeping our prices lower than everyone else. "We'd rather be full than be greedy..." so our attempt is to keep all our returning guests and earn the business of others referred to us.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
As an owner/ operator, we have stuck to one location. If West Springfield would bring in piped water/sewer, we would expand. But we are good for now.
Provide detailed directions to your location
Off of I-90 on Exit 3, head north on 6N to the dead-end. Turn left onto Rt. 20 and you will see us around the bend at the flashing signal. So, we are 3 miles from the Ohio line and about 20 from Erie.
What type of payments do you accept?
We welcome cash but happy to take MC/ Visa/ Discover as well.
Which areas do you service?
Our primary reason to be here is to serve the Springfield/ Albion area but in the summer, most guests are visiting Conneaut, OH for fishing and the like.
What are your hours of operation?
In the summer/fall, you will find us open 10 am to 9pm most days, a little longer Fri & Sat. Winter hours vary greatly based on the severity of the season. We recommend you call ahead.
What is the best compliment anyone can give you?
"I tell my friends how clean your rooms are" because the small motel operator across the country competes against the chain hotel reputations. It is hard for a new guest to walk into a small motel and know what you will get. If you are uncertain, ask us, we will show you the room in advance and make sure it will be satisfactory. All the staff is disappointed when a guest is unhappy.
