Avalon sucks!! We were there for our son's wedding on August 26, 2006. We stayed two nights. What a waste. People smoking at the hotel entrance. In the elevators and in the hallways. The smoke drifts into the lobby. The beds are hard as a rock. No comfort at all. We had breakfast Sunday morning and orange juice was $1.95 a glass. The eggs were cold and the toaster was as slow as molasses rolling up a hill. Parking really sucked. The underground parking was tighter than sardines packed in cans. If you couldn't get an end spot then you parked up against a pillar. Barely enough room for two cars SMALL CARS that is!! And if the garage was full later at night, then to bad!! You parked 200 yards away in a parking deck which was unsecured on the weekends. Save yourself some grief and get a motel.

This hotel is an excellent place to stay while in Erie. The rooms are very well kept, the service top notch and the prices... well you won't believe how inexpensive it can be to stay right in the center of the city! They offer great packages, including a hockey package with tickets to the Erie Otters in the winter months. Summer and spring ask about the Erie Seawolves Baseball Package. Need something to do? Someplace to go? Simply ask at the desk and you will get a great list of recommendations of places to visit and enjoy here in Erie. Their in-house restaurant is also very good and well priced. Anyone I've ever brought into town has always commented on how well priced this place is yet you feel as though you're at a 4 star hotel. I think it's one of the best places to stay while in Erie!

The Avalon Hotel is a medium sized hotel located in downtown Erie. It isn't the Hilton, Four Seasons or even the DoubleTree, but if you are looking for a nice hotel room you will find it here. The great thing about the Avalon is that it is one of the few hotels within the city. Yes you have a lot of "motels" within the city but the Avalon is a nicer hotel, someplace that you might want to stay for a few days. Located right smack in the middle of downtown Erie, you have access to the Bayfront, the Warner, the Erie Art Museum, Jerry Uht Park, and many other attractions, restaurants and bars, etc. Prices aren't cheap, but standard for a hotel of this caliber. Not luxury, but nice rooms.
