Riviera Motel Erie

I have been staying here for years. Never had a bad experience

They had every basic amenity that a regular hotel room has without the inflated room prices. (minus a coffee pot-which was not hard to do without) We didn't have a chance to use the pool due to timing but staff did say it was open and ready for use. The room was very clean and we had everything we needed. Very easy check in and check out. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Being handicapped, it was nice to be able to get back and forth to our vehicle only a few feet from our room. We had never stayed in this part of Erie before but people were respectful of each other. (We noticed guests sitting outside at various times throughout the day during their stay and the homeowner around the corner was practicing his golf swing.) Overall, very satisfied. We will definitely be staying there again the next time we're in Erie.

Staff is very kind

The motel is new

The guys who checked me in were nice. But the room was disgusting. Its a motel. I didnt have high expectations. Carpet was fitlhy and stuff on it in three locations. Opened the nightstand and there was a flashlight, visine and an anti diareal. That is comforting. It could be ok with a scrubbing inside and out

Fun

The room was

Friendly staff and neighbors. Everyone seemed to know each other but I didn’t feel outcasted. The kids had fun in the super clean pool

This could tske a minute so prepare!! Checkin: i had to ask the "residents" where to check in, no signage! The office smells like smoke and bad takeout! They didnt ask for id or anything to check me in....felt unsafe! The room when we got it, the windows were all unlocked, anyone could have gotten in! I mentioned the "residents" earlier, i believe there are permanent residents at this place...they sit outside drinking heavily and make you feel very unwelcome. They ALL smoke and it wafts everywhere!!! The pool, while semi-nice...they act like they own it and you are intruding!!! They move chairs around and the picnic tables to hangout, drink, and play cards and dont move them back or move when you are trying to exit or enter your room...they just stare at you like you in their way! The room itself was drab and worn down, but for the most part ok, just smelly and had renuzit air freshners behind the tv. Will NEVER visit again or refer anyone!!!!

The owner runs the desk very down to earth man. Facility is clean. Free ice heated pool. If your family on a budget this is the place for you.
