What guests think

Travellers describe Red Roof Inn PLUS & Suites Erie as a budget, downtown motel with exceptionally friendly staff, limited amenities, mixed cleanliness, and significant street noise from nearby sirens, trains, and traffic.

Rooms range from simple standards to spacious three-queen suites with kitchenettes, and many guests find the beds comfortable. The location is walkable to State Street, the arena, bayfront, and hospital, but several reviewers felt the surrounding area was gritty. Overall, expect a practical, pet-friendly stay with welcoming service, better for value and convenience than for peace and amenities.

Their A/Cs automatically turn off when you're not in the room, and none of the common areas are air conditioned. It was deeply unpleasant to come back to the hotel hot and exhausted and not be able to get to sleep until the a/c had cooled the room down enough.

Hot water in shower has been set to luke warm, at best. Plenty of hot water at sink. Refrigerator hummed, banged and ran all night. Traffic noise late into the night. Pillows ok. Bed so so. Room clean. No restraunts in vacinity of motel. Website advertises breakfast buffet but only complimentary coffee and tea but no hot water for tea. Not sure what + Plus means. No amenities except for a cold shower and a so so bed to lay your head. Good for one night but wouldn't want to stay any longer.

Stayed the weekend and it wasn’t bad. The room was clean, small traces of pet hair in the room, and a few tiny stains on some of the comforters but nothing too bad. The location isn’t the greatest, due to it being near a busy road. Must also be near an ambulance house or be the main highway to a hospital. Lots of Police and Ambulance vehicles all weekend long. I personally wouldn’t book here again, but that’s my personal choice, only because I prefer enclosed hotel rooms, not the outdoor entrance style.

While our stay at the hotel was generally good, there were some aspects that didn’t meet our expectations. We felt insecure in the surroundings, which was concerning. However, I must commend the superb customer service and friendliness of the staff; they truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. One aspect that was disappointing was the charging for the electric charger; it seemed unnecessary to have to pay for its use. Overall, our experience was satisfactory, but not quite as we had hoped.

Check in was quick and easy, I loved that we could park right in front of the room. The doggie welcome package was a nice touch. Loved the grassy chill area. Bath tub was very slippery. Floors need to be mopped more often. Other than that it was great and clean.

We walked into our room and it immediately stunk. We opened up the fridge and saw food/a burrito in there from the previous person. The fridge had greasy hand marks on it. There was a used q-tip on the floor. The bathroom door wouldn’t fully shut and looked like it had been punched before. There were also stink bugs coming out from under the bed. The bed smelled like bleach. We didn’t even end up staying the night and deciding to drive home that night. Not worth the money at all.

I liked that the front desk was very kind and thoughtfull when checking IN and OUT, but my room was very very dirty , the kitchenette was useless and pots had food stuck to them , there was hair all over kitchen area itself, when walking up to the third floor in the hallways there was a literal kids Underwear on the floor. My kids feet were black after walking inside the room. Just overall not good.

The rooms have been updated and theyre nice, but the floors were filthy. I washed my kids' feet before bed and the towel i used was disgusting. With carpet, i understand you cant shampoo it every time. But these are laminate, easily moppable. They were just gross.

The room was not clean. Floors were so dirty we had to wear shoes or have black feet/socks. The microwave was not cleaned at all. We asked for a full service clean letting them know the problems with floor and microwave. Came back and they only made the beds replaced towels and took trash. Floors were still dirty and the microwave was not touched. Beds were much more fiem than I like. The front desk people were polite. The cleaning staff needs to be beyter trained

Really liked the 3 queen beds. This room obviously was once 2 rooms but combining it into 1 room makes it very comfortable. Room has full size fridge/freezer and stove top. Also the largest TV's I have ever seen in a hotel, with great channel selection too. I would highly recommend this hotel. Not the greatest area of town but also not the worst.

Was updated, clean, service was great. Noisy area...sirens and trains all night long. Our room was next to the area of stairs and elevator so add that noise plus the door slamming all night. The welcome snacks were a nice surprise. Outside courtyard was also nice. None of the issues are a fault of the employees or building itself....its just one of those things. Based on cleanliness and hospitality i would definitely recommend however not if your looking for a quiet area.

Great value for the money! Clean, plank floor instead of gross carpet, surprisingly quiet—we had a ground-floor room facing parking lot but weren’t bothered by people walking by or slamming doors. Walking distance from downtown, park, and several good restaurants. It’s not a glamorous neighborhood but felt safe. Our room had some minor issues: quirky water pressure and door knobs that had to be turned really far to open the door. The one thing it really needed was a SOAP DISH: There is no reasonable place to put the bar soap near the sink.
