What guests think

Across recent reviews of Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Erie an IHG Hotel, travelers consistently praise the generous free breakfast, friendly staff, and generally clean, comfortable, spacious rooms, while families value the indoor water amenities.

However, several reviews cite heavy crowds, loud hallways, and traffic noise, especially on weekends or in rooms facing the interstate. Experiences in the pool area vary, with recurring reports of cloudy or cool water, hot tub or slide closures, and inconsistent rule enforcement. The setting is convenient off I‑90 with a family restaurant next door, but nearby dining is otherwise limited. Expect a family‑focused stop with standout amenities but occasional noise and pool inconsistencies.

This Hotel is one of the nicest places we’ve ever stayed and it was such a beautiful experience. The water park is amazing and they also have another separate pool area that has a nice sauna. The breakfast was so good with many selections. The staff is so friendly and helpful especially Aaron who went out of his way several times to take care of me!! It is so close to many attractions and we found The Straw Hat just down the road that has delicious pizza, wings, and ice cream. The room and beds were so comfortable and the service was outstanding. We can’t wait to go back!!

I chose this to Hotel because of the pool and water related amenities as a stop on long roadtrip with 2 pre-teens. They loved the pool and water slide. The hot tub wasn't as hot as I hoped, and no bubbles, but It wasnt that import. Its not as if I had gone there for a spa day just a comfortable stop on a long roadtrip. I did enjoy the Sauna! Nice Perk. The breakfast was nice and many choices. Friendly staff.

Amenities We chose this hotel over another because of the pool. When we arrived the pool was in full use. Water slide...hot tube etc. there were a few families with kids and it looked fun! My kids were very excited. We came back down about 90 minutes later after eating next store and everything was closed down. Only the pool was open... No slides no hot tube and worst of all no explanation as to why it's suddenly closed down at what I would assume would be the busiest time to go? My kids were very disappointed and since there isn't a lot to do around the actual hotel it was not a fun night.

This was a nice, clean hotel. The staff were very friendly, professional, and I was checked in quickly. They have 2 wonderful indoor swimming pools - one that is perfect for families and one that looks good for lap swimming. The room was very spacious and comfortable. The only cons were the outside noise from traffic all night, the shower head was so low I had to duck to wash my hair, and limited dining (also no chain or fast food restaurants).

This was our third stay. Rooms are quite pricey but breakfast is nice. The pool with the slides was not very clean. You couldnt even see your feet in the pool. Very cloudy water. Several boys were also being unsafe with slide and rough housing in pool. They were spoken to more than once from hotel staff about their behavior. All well under 12 years of age but no adults present. That rule clearly not enforced. Not great time in the pool between the water and kids.

The water park was definitely the highlight. Unfortunately there were a lot of rowdy kids jumping off the water slide, shaking it, wrestling and screaming. The hot tub is for 18+ but nobody polices it so it was filled with little kids splashing and kicking us until we got annoyed and informed the front desk. Rooms were large and clean. Food options within about a 10 minute drive.

Some trouble with check-in It appears the key card machine was not operating properly 1. The clerk ran 3 or 4 cards through the machine before giving me one for room 304 2. When I went to room 304, the key card didn’t work 3. After returning to the check-in desk, I did get a key card that worked 4. I was in my room about a half hour, and I could hear someone trying to get in the room. When I went to the door, there was another guest trying to get in with the key cards he was issued. He showed me that he was given room 304 also??? I assume he also had to go back to the desk to be assigned another room, as I heard nothing else about the issue

The staff was friendly and rooms were clean. Can’t ask for anything better when just stopping for a few hours. Left at 4 am so cannot comment on breakfast.

The hotel backs up to a highway. Very noisy at night and hard to sleep! You can ask for a room that faces the parking lot. I didn’t know this but was advised for next time by staff to ask for this. Few close restaurants. But very limited. It’s a fine place to stay if you’re passing through or to use the slide/pool area for kids.

Nice place but not great! The waterpark is more like a slide with a kid splash area. The water was murky and not inviting but my daughter had a good time. The lap pool was nice and clean and warm. Don’t book for the lazy river. It’s a small circle with no tubes. The sauna was nice. The room was nice and large. Loved that. The noise from upstairs was loud. You could hear every step. And sometimes i feel like booking through Expedia you get the room by the elevator most times. That wasn’t too bad for noise at this place. Just the highway traffic you can hear and if you have a floor above you the people walking around and then the maids at 730-8 that start vacuuming hallways. Did not get up in time to enjoy breakfast. It finishes at 930 during the week.

The staff was courteous. The hotel is just off I-90, conveniently located. Room was spacious with fridge, microwave, and nice bed . Breakfast area was clean, spacious with nice coffee machine and the usual breakfast items. Expect plastic forks and plates. There's a big pool and water slides inside the property which seems to be the attraction of many families and hence the hallways were wet. Highway noise was not that bad. We didn't have any children, but expect very noisy children running around splashing water. Otherwise decent way side hotel for a break.

Although if they were really busy that might be an issue. Complimentary breakfast was really decent also! I would stay here again should the need arise.

First of all, Kim at reception is fantastic. The hotel sits off I-90 and close to the main road into town with lots of noise, especially with the obnoxious locals with no exhaust accelerating up the hill. The area is depressed with the exception of the family restaurant which is the only immediate local eatery. There are other eateries "in town" which the front desk has flyer. Bring your bathing suit if you want to get wet. Breakfast was terrible. Most items were over-cooked.

Why do these hotels continue to have the fake eggs and not just do real scrambled eggs ?? A lot less sodium is needed in the dining facility I know I'm being picky about that but I'm very health conscious overall I give it a 9 1⁄2Definitely will stay again!! TY

The rooms are expensive and not really worth the money. The water park is fun but always crowded. The restaurant next door was a huge disappointment. We were told they were booked. Once we did get a table it would be at least an hour wait for food. We went to the bar to order food to pick up. We were told 30 to 40 minutes, not an hour. Food was expensive and not good. Breakfast was being picked up at 10am even though its supposed to be 10:30. Bagels and cinnamon rolls were taken away and there were no hash browns. The room was clean and staff were nice. Not likely i would return due to the cost, crowded pool, breakfast and no dining option within walking distance other than next door.
