Fantastic weekend Erie stay
Pros:

We come to Erie often from the Pittsburgh area and have stayed at nearly every hotel. This has been my favorite. It was clean, the staff was welcoming, and breakfast was AMAZING. For $10 total per day, everyone in your room gets breakfast in the restaurant. So, me, my husband, and son got full breakfasts for about $3 each. They had waffles, burritos, sausage biscuits and gravy, etc. And the girl taking orders, serving, and cleaning was so kind. My only semi-complaint was that I wish we had gotten fresh towels but I probably could have requested some.

Wonderful Experience
Pros:

This was the nicest Holiday Inn I’ve stayed at. The property was exceptionally clean and very well maintained. From check-in to check-out, the customer service was welcoming, professional, and attentive.

A special thank you to Joyce, who made my stay memorable. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. Her recommendations for local hidden gems gave us a chance to experience parts of Erie we otherwise would have missed.

Overall, I had a wonderful stay and truly appreciated Joyce’s hospitality. I would gladly stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to others visiting the area.

Great for large groups
Pros:

I stayed here with a group of students from Muhlenberg School District's AFJROTC program during their end of year trip. Everyone was kind and welcoming! The rooms were very clean and super comfortable. They provided a hot breakfast for us every morning and were the first hotel to welcome us with a sign. I would definitely recommend staying here if you have a large group. They were very accommodating!!

Clean, modern, great customer service & pet friendly
Pros:

Excellent customer service from all staff! Clean, spacious, modern, and tons of parking! Extremely pet friendly! Put us on the first floor and handy to the side door which was pet area! Checked in with us often! I asked for a few items and housekeeping immediately came to my room. Very quiet too despite being so close to I-90! Very close access to 79, 90, Peach Street, Walmart and tons of shopping including the mall! Quick trip to downtown or Presque Isle! Highly recommend!

Wonderful stay
Pros:

This was our first time staying at this property and we were amazed! As IHG card holders, we typically always stay at Holiday Inn Expresses. This hotel was clean, staff was friendly, rooms were quiet and the food was out of this world— shout out to Eddie in the kitchen! Joyce at the front desk was especially kind, along with the girls working the bar. We hope to return soon!

Quiet, Clean but Breakfast was Terrible
Pros:

Clean and quiet, friendly staff

Cons:

The breakfast was terrible. We thought that being served breakfast that it would be a cut above motel fare. We were wrong. Potatoes weren't real, sausage tasted of chemicals, fruit was under ripe - couldn't finish it.
