Holiday Inn Erie by IHG
A short ride from Splash Lagoon, pool included
About this hotel
Holiday Inn Erie by IHG sits a short trip from Splash Lagoon, roughly four minutes by taxi or seven by public transport, close enough that the water park stays convenient without the property sitting directly on Peach Street's busiest stretch. Its own indoor pool and hot tub give a family a second swim option once Splash Lagoon has closed for the night, and pet-friendly rooms mean travelling with a dog doesn't rule the property out. It's a straightforward IHG chain stay rather than a suite-style or extended-stay property, suited to a family wanting a reliable, familiar hotel brand within easy reach of the water park rather than a specialty amenity list. The location near Erie First Assembly of God and a short walk from John Russell Brewing Company gives adults an evening option beyond the hotel itself.

Our take
I would book Holiday Inn Erie for a multi-night Splash Lagoon trip when a familiar brand and a short ride to the park matter most. The indoor pool and hot tub cover evening downtime, and dogs are welcome in the rooms. Families who want the shortest possible distance to the slides should compare the hotels closest to the park on this page before choosing.
- ✓Arrange a short taxi or rideshare to Splash Lagoon rather than walking, since the property sits a few minutes off the main water park corridor.
- ✓Use the hot tub and indoor pool on evenings the water park is closed, since both are tagged as on-site amenities at this property.
- ✓Check pet-friendly room availability early if travelling with a dog, since these rooms can be limited compared to standard ones at the property.
Why we love it
- Indoor pool and hot tub on-site together
- Pet-friendly rooms for travelling with a dog
- Familiar IHG chain reliability on the corridor
- Near John Russell Brewing Company for an evening out
Why guests love itHoliday Inn Erie is a straightforward chain hotel about four minutes by taxi, or seven by public transport, from Splash Lagoon. The indoor pool and hot tub give children an evening swim once the water park has closed, and pet-friendly rooms mean the dog can come along. The 8.6 score from 432 reviews points to a reliable stay, even if it lacks the character of a smaller address nearby.
