Riviera Motel Erie — Hotel in Millcreek Township

Stayed 2 nights here. The room was ok, we have stayed in worse in south beach. No signs of bed bugs, mattress was comfy, But the reviews that say it's quiet are not true..it's very noisy. Edit: after speaking with the owner he admitted he was aware of the noise problem and trying to formulate a way to address it without offending anyone.

If you know erie, you know it's a seasonal location...this motel seems to have a lot of seasonal folks here, no biggie.

As far as the rooms go, you get a great sized mini fridge, a microwave and that's it. No safe in the room, no frills. Everything is outdated but that adds a bit of old time charm. I LOVE the screen doors on each room.

As far as cleanliness goes? It's an older facility so it is run down, things look dirty but aren't just aged, the people working here do take pride in keeping it as clean as they can.

As far as location? You can walk to Waldameer. Oasis pub is across the street and you gotta have the fried banana peppers. Beaches are less than 10mins, absolutely can't beat that.

We didn't use the pool because it was over run with kids. Would be cool to have adults only night swim after a certain time.

The price is right for only being here to sleep, shower and...the other "sh" plus, the WiFi worked, we brought our projector and watched movies on the ceiling laying in bed.

Will be back! Curious about the...

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...

My family and I have stayed here twice now whilst visiting the USA from Canada. We live to vacation for 4th of July and party with Americans. This motel is a gem and a real slice of Americana. Just the classic family vacation spot. Matt the manager is a real one! He keeps everything tip top and if there is an issue it is dealt with swiftly. His crew of cleaners do great too. The pool is well kept and the rooms are clean at an affordable price. Places like the Riviera are rare now but they are the places that allow my family to vacation. Everytime we stay we make friends around the motel instantly. The price is good for these days. The motel is under new management and renovation. I hope they retain the charm and budget friendliness because those are what set it apart. Mi kids love this place. Ps for the weary traveller there is a Sheetz gas bar one minute down the street serving...
