Top Erie Hotel Reviews

Sheraton Erie Bayfront Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The manager and staff were absolutely amazing during our stay. Very friendly and helpful. We can't wait to come back."

Cobblestone Hotel & Suites - Harborcreek

6/10 Okay

"The staff was very friendly and helpful! I was surprised that an elevator was available to carry luggage to the 2nd floor. Although my party want described as handicapped, we are all senior citizens and found it rather inconvenient. However, I must admit they offered assistance with the bags. Also, the breakfast food was good but the space was the smallest I have ever seen and people were tripping over each other to get at food items."

Courtyard by Marriott Erie

4/10 Poor

"As a Marriott Bonvoy member, this was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had. The night before checkout, I called the front desk and specifically asked for a one-hour late checkout extension until noon. The receptionist told me it would be fine and said to just call in the morning to confirm with housekeeping. The next morning, I called as instructed and was abruptly told no extension would be granted. Completely inconsistent communication between staff. The bigger issue was the condition of the hotel itself. The power went out THREE separate times during my stay, and there was apparently no backup generator. Every outage left the room without lights, air conditioning, TV, or a working refrigerator. The staff acted like this was normal and showed little concern or urgency. To make matters worse, I extended my stay by an extra night. The front desk called me downstairs to renew my room keys, but failed to mention I needed to bring a credit card for the incidental hold, despite the room already being prepaid online. My credit card was locked inside the room because my keys no longer worked. Shockingly, the hotel did not even have a master key available to let me back into my room. I was only able to resolve the situation because I happened to have my phone with me and could use a digital card payment. Overall, the staff was disorganized, unhelpful, and indifferent throughout the entire stay. This experience fell far below Marriott standards."

Courtyard by Marriott Erie Bayfront

10/10 Excellent

"Remodeled very nicely, loved the smell of new carpet. Rooms were quiet. Staff very friendly. My daughter loved the indoor pool and balcony view of the water. Restaurant was in the lobby and music was a bit loud but could not hear outside of that area. All in all very nice stay"

Red Roof Inn PLUS+ & Suites Erie

2/10 Terrible

"Absolutely horrible. Nothing worked. No hot water. The sink was so loose it came right out. The tvs didn’t work. There was a bug crawling. The towels had stains on them. The elevator got stuck, the one light didn’t work. The heat didn’t work. The staff was poorly dressed and looked like they just crawled out of bed and looked like they were on drugs and mumbled the whole time. It was a complete waste of money!!"
