Red Roof Inns

The price was 66+tax. I had booked non-​GTD (no credit card) and it was 56+tax. I wished I would’ve guaranteed. This would’ve been a 5-​Star Rating if the FD Agent had reinstated my non-​Guaranteed/​Red Roof Rewards Reservation. Ten dollars costs you 1 star (among other things NOT Pertinent to this review site).
The rooms are updated and as luxurious as the pictures suggest, especially considering this is a motel-​level stay. The rooms have nice laminate wood flooring and beds as comfy as a Sheraton bed, without the down quilts… but you’d pay 2x as much to stay at a Sheraton, and the nearest one is probably two hours away, at best.
I wished, however, the Night Auditor had given us breakfast vouchers for the McDonalds. Although it’s a $ 10 value, it’s a great touch for any road warrior — good move by the GM or the property owners. Hooray!

Stayed here last night because we were going to the casino. It was very clean and convenient to the casino. The only down side is it is somewhat loud but we asked to be away from the highway and slept with no problem.

Nice hotel right off of the interstate. Exterior doors on bottom floor; interior on upper floor. No elevator. Desk clerk let us preview rooms before checking in and gave us a room on the opposite side of the interstate for less noise. They had no cribs available. Rooms were pretty spacious. Breakfast was a voucher for limited options at McDonalds next door. Room was clean but bathroom was small. Bathroom door didn’t latch or lock. Would stay again if passing through.

For what this is, an affordable stay at a nice place without all the bells and whistles, I give it 4 stars. It is clean and the rooms are nice. Two things to keep in mind: the hotel is right by the freeway and try to get a room away from the staircase. If you are not a heavy sleeper the traffic from the highway may bother you. It’s definitely louder in the early morning and there are lots of 18 wheelers. The heavy metal door on the staircase slams shut every time it’s used so you may want a room towards the middle of the building.

I give it 5 stars for the money and cleanness. Ac worked well, vouchers for breakfast even though it’s fast food. I would def stay here again if passing through.

Awesome pet friendly hotel. Room was basic and clean. Love the laminate floors. Wish I could find more hotels like this one as we drive across the USA

We were very satisfied with our overnight stay at the Erie Red Roof. The cost was a good value and included breakfast vouchers at McDonalds next door. The room would have been small if had there been more than just the two of us.

My boyfriend, dog and I had stayed here in between moving. We payed around $ 80, which is not only inexpensive for hotels in the area, but there’s no additional pet fee! Most hotels in that price range are total dives and either don’t allow dogs or charge a ridiculous amount for them to stay. This particular red roof looked like it was just remodeled. It had a modern look with brand new bedding and multiple outlets by the bed and all around. Standard coffee machine, bonus mini fridge, new bathrooms. Loved everything about the room itself! And the service was great. I wish I could remember the front desk clerk’s name to give her proper recognition. She was very helpful and efficient. She got us checked into our room in 5 minutes or less, she let me borrow a corkscrew, and offered us a complimentary mcdonalds breakfast, which we didn’t accept, but how nice of her to offer! If ever we need a place in erie to stay again, this is our first and only option.

We got a beagle-​friendly clean room with I-​90 and a McDonald’s next to us. We paid $ 78, not bad especially considering the 13% state and county taxes.
The proximity to I-​90 makes the place feel (and sound) like a rest area, especially with a McD’s adjacent. I suppose the dog owners get the rooms facing the interstate, but it’s worth asking for the quieter rooms that face away from it, especially if you are beagle-​less.
It was comfortable, inexpensive, and clean. Erie is a friendly place with many eateries, so it’s a perfect overnight rest stop.

This hotel met our expectations of a cheep (less than $ 100) off the highway place. We followed the suggestions of asking for a room away from the highway and it was clean and comfortable. Water tasted fine & shower pressure was good too.
My only complaint was going to be that their «free breakfast» was a paper bag w a bottle of water, apple, and blueberry muffin, but the apple & muffin were pretty decent, and we just swung by McD’s so my husband could get some protein and I could get coffee.

Clean and economical place to stay. Try to get a first floor room unless you don’t mind a fourteen (yes I counted them) step climb. There is no elevator. Also, I would suggest getting a room in the back, away from the interstate highway. We had a second floor room in the front and I still recommend the place.

New updated room, but many downfalls. Very kind front staff!
When walked into our room, there was a used condom in the toilet. We quickly moved rooms and then had the room facing the major loud highway. Also, the next room had left over urine on the toilet seat as well as many hairs. Thank god we brought cleaning supplies with us. After this downfall, we did not invite the maid in, as it was clear the job wasn’t done well. Everything else was fine, but this was just a huge downfall that I wished would not have occured.

Typical for a red roof inn, which is to say, pretty awful. Insufficient blankets on the bed meant we froze all night, and the paper thin walls left us listening to the neighbors tv all night. The few good points were the cheap price, no pet fee, and proximity to the highway. Will not stay again if we can help it.

I wasn’t expecting much because the price was low but i was hoping it would be clean. It was beyond my expectations. It was very clean and had been remodeled. The beds were comfortable also.

You get what you pay for. This hotel has several pros and cons.
PROS:
1. Newly remodeled and clean
2. Non-​Smoking
3. Convenient Location to nearby attractions including Erie Zoo, Casino, short distance from Upper Peach Street Corridor
CONS:
1. Noisy due to I-​90 traffic next to hotel
2. Room did not have a refrigerator or microwave
3. Tiny Bathroom and Bathtub
4. One ice machine to serve two buildings, locating at second building
Free breakfast voucher for McDonald’s located in front of hotel. Variety of options available, including breakfast sandwiches, hot oatmeal cereal, hash browns, juice, milk, etc. Voucher did not include hot cakes.
Bottom Line: This hotel is good for a cheap night stay but does not contain very many amenities.

Brand new rooms. Clean and spacious. Comfortable bed + extra pillows. «Wood» flooring. Large flat screen tv. Re fridge, micro, coffee maker. Spacious bathroom (we get an ‘accessible’ room. Nightlight in the bathroom. On the go breakfast: apple, muffin, bottle of water.
Only downside: We asked for backside, away from highway, but we could still hear a bit of road noise.
Hope we get to stay here again.
Pet friendly, but the giant wasn’t with us that night.

I stayed here with my pup while we were visiting Presque Isle, and I thought the hotel was great. It’s newly-​renovated, so everything was clean and pretty on the inside. Bed was comfortable, and although the room was on the small side, it was definitely roomy enough for one human and one doggy.
Best of all, they had an awesome desk setup. The number one reason I was there was to get some writing work done, and the huge corner wraparound desk was exactly what I needed. Also, the WiFi was free and actually worked! (I feel like I’m a magnet for non-​functioning hotel WiFi sometimes lol.)
Rooms open into the parking lot (no interior hallway), which is nice if you bring your dog, so she can just go straight from car into room without a fuss. We stayed on the side facing away from the highway, and it was really quiet.
They don’t have a dining area for breakfast, so they give you a coupon for a free value meal from the McDonalds next door. They do have coffee in the lobby though, all day.
In terms of proximity to places to visit in Erie, this hotel is right across the highway from Presque Isle Downs, just a few exits down the highway from the indoor waterpark, and about 12 – 15 miles from Presque Isle, downtown Erie, and Waldameer Park. That said, there is a TON of traffic between this hotel and those places (lots of strip malls and malls with a crazy amount of traffic lights), so the commute between the Red Roof Inn and the beach is about 25 minutes, give or take.
However, the price is good, and your pup stays free (no restrictions on size or breed), so if you don’t mind a little trek to the trails and the beach, it’s definitely worth it.

I’m beginning to think I’m a low class hooker.
I found this, like most Red Roof Inns, to be a perfectly adequate hotel for what i needed. It’s not the Ritz, but then again I didn’t pay for the Ritz so I’m ok with that…
The Good: Quick and easy check in, location is right off the highway, behind a McDonalds, close to the Casino if you’re into that kinda thing, the room was nice and clean, free Breakfast at McDonalds sure why not?
I didn’t really encounter any bad while I was there. I think that from the comments below they might have been there Pre-​Renovation. the location is now pretty standard looking for the chain.

Stopped here without a reservation on our way from Louisville to Beantown. The clerk was very gracious about us not having a reservation and put us in a room at the back of the property– as far away from the highway as can be. It was obvious in the morning that they were not overbooked so it was nice that they book from the back to the front. Also included in our stay was a «coupon» for a free breakfast at McD’s next door. We didn’t take them up on it (all value menu items and I wanted an XL coffee and an oatmeal) but it was a pleasant surprise.
Ironically– they had a fridge and safe in the room and the more expensive Holiday Inn that we stayed in when we got to our destination did not.

This is a pretty standard highway hotel at a low cost. I book the tickets online and gasped when I caught of glimpse of the façade of this place. I’m pretty sure it hasn’t been updated in quite some time. The room itself was pretty clean upon first inspection. All the standard stuff in place. The contrast on the television was shot. The «hot continental breakfast» that they advertise consists of a coupon for the McDonalds next door. When I turned down the bed there were hairs on the pillow.
This is a good place to sleep on top of the made bed.
