$$

This column indicates the typical price range of this hotel. We use the following codes: E=Economy (under $50), M=Midrange ($50 to $100), U=Upscale ($100 to $150), L=Luxury (over $150). Please note that room rates fluctuate (seasonal popularity, special events in the area, etc.).

Miles

The approximate distance in miles from the exit to the hotel. These are calculations using GPS data. Distances along city streets will be somewhat different but this should give you a good idea of the distances to Discount Hotels near the cited Interstate exit.

Fit

Discount Hotels near I-90 in Dunkirk offering  'fitness' or exercise facilities are indicated with an F in this column. If the hotel also has a spa, it is so indicated by an S in this column. Most hotels define a 'spa' as a large hot tub with built in water jets. In a few cases, fitness facilities and spas may be off-premises (entry by pass issued by the hotel) in which case dressing rooms are also present for your convenience.

Kit

Discount Hotels near I-90 in Dunkirk offering a full kitchen or 'kitchenette' are indicated with an 'K' in this column. An 'M' in this column indicates microwave available. If the room also has a refrigerator, it is so indicated by an 'R' in this column. Many hotels have some rooms furnished with microwaves and small refrigerators but you have to request them. We list them only if there is not an additional charge (or so they have informed us).

I'net

Discount Hotels near I-90 in Dunkirk offering Internet access are indicated (with an M for dial-up and W for wideband) in the I'net column. Please note that 'wideband' facilities vary. In addition to a network port (usually installed in the docking station), we suggest you bring along cables and your Windows distribution CD (in case you are required to load a special network driver). For 'dial up dataports', you would only need a modem and an RJ-11 patch cord (which you should always have with you, anyway).

Dunkirk Lighthouse and Veterans Park Museum - Here, stuck out on Lighthouse Point, midway between Erie PA and Buffalo NY is one of the old navigation lights that still serves to keep the boats and ships on their proper courses. Rebuilt in 1875, it is not the postcard pictured tower you usually see but a neat, brick cottage with the 'lighthouse' beacon on the roof. The five-room keepers quarters and beacon tower are open to the public April through December from 10a to 2p daily except Sundays and holidays. During July and August hours are extended to 4p.
  For more information phone 1-716-366-5050. The National Park Service has a web page with some additional information; view it at NPSLighthouse. The University of Buffalo also has a web page but very little information about the lighthouse or its history. View it at Lighthouse.
  From I-90 take exit 59. Turn right on NY-60 (Bennett Road) and follow 60 all the way into Dunkirk to NY-5 (Lake Shore Drive) which is 2 blocks beyond the Amtrak station and tacks. Turn left on NY-5 and follow it to Point Drive. Turn right and drive to the light house on the point..
