We ate at a really great restaurant called Joe Roots Grill in Erie, and then looked for a place to stay overnight. This one was right across the road. We looked at a room before staying. We walked by the pool on the way, and it was all covered with algae. The stairway was very dirty and things left around.... More

My husband and I have a soft spot for the old motor lodges, and we have driven by this place 1,000 times saying "Some day we should stay here" A flight got cancelled and we found ourselves in Erie for an extra night, so we went here. I was shocked by the $69 price tag for a weeknight room, but... More

Group of friend had a time of their life there. Manager was spot on with stay there every year. Could not be happier. It's a dive but that's what we wanted. Loves the attached bar as well. Needless to say we didn't have to drive any where.

The room cost $120 because it was the last... More

There were stains on everything. There were people skinny dipping in the pool. Everyone was drunk. We finally left and slept at the... More
