Spencer House Bed & Breakfast : Rooms and Policies

The Spencer Suite

The whole 3rd floor was originally servants quarters. This room was probably used by the head of the household staff, as it is the largest of these rooms and has an in-room bathroom. In the 1940's this room served as one of the master bedrooms. The original marble sink, a lovely window seat, a large flat screen TV, and nice sitting area provide you with plenty of amenities for your comfort. We think this room is too luxurious to be called the “Servant's Quarters,” so we have taken the liberty to name it the "Spencer Suite."
 

$130 weekdays and $175 weekends and holidays

The Captain's Quarters

The Captain's Quarters on the 3rd floor is named for the captains of industry that have made Erie such a great waterway. A king-sized bed in a room filled with old world charm gives way to an oversized bathroom complete with a 2-person Jacuzzi and separate shower.

The President's Suite

This spacious room on the 2nd floor was the original master bedroom of the house. However, there was a time when William Spencer's uncle inhabited that room. He was a Civil War veteran, and due to a war injury, could not be exposed to sunlight. A wardrobe was built over the bay window in the room, and was not removed until 1991 when the windows were exposed again. The bathroom is also not exactly original—it was once a closet. The bath with tub and shower was built in the 1920s for Mrs. Spencer. The fixtures and tile are original. This room offers a king-sized 4-poster cherry bed, nonworking fireplace, and seating area.

Mary's Room

Mary's room is named for William Spencer's wife, Mary Dupois. We don't know if she kept a separate room, but if she did, this antique white queen bed would have been inviting and comfortable. Two floor-to-ceiling windows look out onto the front. Two former closets now serve as a private in-room bathroom.
 

$90 on weekdays, $110 on weekends and holidays

The Nursery

This 2nd floor room is the former nursery for the Spencer children. This lovely room has a nonworking fireplace with a beautiful inscribed mantle, an original armoire, as well as two full-sized beds.  The private bathroom is located just outside the room and is the original bathroom to the house.  This bathroom offers an old-fashioned pull-chain water closet and king-sized clawfoot tub with shower.  Maximum occupancy of 3 people, extra person charge applies.
 

$100 on weekdays, $125 on weekends and holidays

The Nanny's Room

Around the corner from the nursery the nanny would have her own room and bath. This room is tucked nicely in the back of the house and is private and cozy. The room features an original marble fireplace (although no longer working), and a queen bed. The curtained off, semi-private hallway is lined in exposed original brickwork. The private bathroom is located in the hall and features a clawfoot tub with shower.

• All rates are for double occupancy and subject to 6% hotel occupancy tax. There is no need to pay the additional 5% county hotel tax when you stay in a Bed & Breakfast. Please see Accommodations for prices.
• Because of zoning requirements, when we are completely full and on weekends, we can only accommodate 2 people per room.  We have one room (our Nursery) that does have 2 double beds and can hold 3 people upon occasion.  Please add $20 for the additional person and please call for availability.
• While we ask for a two-night minimum on weekends, there are sometimes open rooms.  Thur-Fri or Sat-Sun reservations do free up single nights.  Our reservation page also has a note on the top if we have removed any minimums.  Please check there first--we may have a room for you!
