Just spent 2 nights here. Yes it is in a truck stop but not a bother. Store and restaurant a quick walk away. Big clean room with fridge and microvave.
One little problem at check in. Gave us a room, went upstairs with my 2 small children (no elevator) and our smoking room was being cleaned. Told the 1-800 people booked this room. We don't smoke.
Cleaner called manager Patrick and told to go see him. Back to the restaurant and given a first floor no smoking room plus a small refund.
Only thing would bring your own pillow.
The restaurant was nice. Had dinner and 2 breakfasts there. Found is decent, Above average.
About 8 miles from Erie and close to the lake.
Would stay here again and already planning the next trip.

We found this place to be very nice. I was a little apprehensive based on previous reviews but I must say we would absolutely stay there again. The service was wonderful, staff very friendly. The restaurant was a great value, esp since the breakfast buffett was included in our room price. The room was very clean and free from offensive odors (as noted in other reviews). There was no issue with noise from the gas station or truck traffic. Signs are well posted that let you know to check in at the info center (store). The restaurant and store are both open 24 hrs. There is also a Subway and a Pizza Hut inside the plaza with regular business hours as well as a service station. This I found to be very convenient. We got our dinner, room, a little souvenier shopping, gas, air for the tires and a few games in the game room all in one place. The room itself was less than $70 a night with AAA discount (single room w/ 2 queen beds) . My only negative comment - the mattress was too hard , but i like a very soft bed. My daughter loved it, said she slept like a baby. A+ in my book.

Since the Erie area is expensive and the weekend we were there it was packed, so my friends and I stayed here because we didn't have many other options and we wanted something on the cheap side. I understand how people found it difficult to find, since it's right next the interstate and the only thing you see first is a gas station, so you should take that into account: the hotel is at the gas station! When we arrived we thought "Oh boy" since the hotel doesn't look very nice from the outside, and it's also located in a travel center area (truck stop and whatnot). But the rooms were clean and had everything we needed, mini fridge and a microwave included. The bathroom was clean as well. The only exception (and "eew" part) was when I had to move the bed because my cell phone felt through and I found a beef jerky bag, so I guess they didn't clean that area...No wifi, though. Breakfast was included, greasy but OK food, you have to pay for the drinks (plus tips). Overall, OK experience. If I go to the Erie area again, I'd probably look for a different hotel, since it's not the cheapest and the location is not good either. But if you are travelling and need to stop for one night, I'd definitely stay there.

I don't understand how people couldn't find this hotel. Yes, there isn't much signage, but if you get some decent directions, it's very simple to find. It's right next to the Interstate. The hotel is indeed a part of a truck stop. The check in desk is in the actual truck stop (which is a tad weird, I admit), but check in is pretty easy. The free breakfast buffet (also in the truck stop) was very good. You just need to buy your drink. The room itself was pretty decent. It's just your typical, basic hotel room. They are very clean and quiet (I was on the side facing the Interstate). The water does get REALLY hot though. I swear it was practically boiling when it came out. Overall, it's really not a terrible hotel. It's good if you're just traveling through.
