Northwest Pennsylvania Hotels

Pros - staff is very friendly - location right off highway was a plus for us Cons - rooms need serious updating - breakfast is included but it was not advertised that it is coupons for McDonald's (huge issue as I have a child with Celiac Disease and she cannot eat at McDonald's) - smoking area outside of our room on 2nd stay; people outside all night, very loud - door to room would not open - terrible smell in room - toilet did not flush correctly

Third time I have stayed there. Best room ever ! Close to everything that I was interested in . Will stay there again !

We really enjoyed our trip to Erie. The staff at Solstice couldn't have been more helpful or friendly. However the hotel was in the middle of renovation so there was no breakfast, elevator or pool. We booked the hotel thinking we would have these amenities, pretty disappointed we didn't. We didn't know about the renovation till we got to the hotel to check in, really wish this information would have been available sooner to us. We would book this hotel again, just as long as renovation is completed.

We booked this hotel because of the pool, but it was closed until further notice; management said that the chemicals weren't working, whatever that means.... Obviously we were disappointed.... Otherwise the hotel was a good inexpensive accommodation... The breakfast was minimal, room clean and comfortable, staff were helpful.

People were nice. Bar was nice and close to a great old school bar restaurant , The Combine Bros. This was important to us as we wanted to relax after a very long drive.

No bath towels in room, but we did not notice that until the morning when we planned to use them. Told the clerk at checkout and he apologized. The toilet seat was so loose that it was a safety hazard. I tightened it down by hand. You might think that housekeeping would have noticed and reported this problem. The carpet in the hallway is way past its replace-by date. There is only one elevator which is used by customers and housekeeping. This turned out to be a bit of a bottleneck in the morning. There is coffee available 24/7, but no continental breakfast. The latter is mitigated by the fact that you have to drive past a Dunkin Donuts on your way to the freeway.

Driving up to this hotel i was worried. There were abandoned buildings and one dumpy gas station on the other side of the interstate. Once i was in the lobby i was less afraid. The staff were fairly nice, not super peppy/outgoing, but got the job done. Once we arrived in our room i was pleasantly surprised, it was recently updated and in good condition. (except the stain on the floor (red gatorade?) and the mildew in the handles of the shower surround. Breakfast buffet was decent. They kept refilling with random bowls instead of changing out the metal pans from the buffet bar which was kinda gross. The waitstaff were friendly, but a bit "interesting". All in all, a good hotel to save some $ and only a 15 min drive to Waldameer and Presque Isle.

Decent hotel at a great price. Very conveniently located near downtown and close to the highway. Biggest bonus - the indoor pool and hot tub.
