Red Roof Inn Erie – I-90
A straightforward budget stay off I-90
About this hotel
Red Roof Inn Erie – I-90 is a straightforward budget motel built for a practical, no-frills stay rather than an amenity-heavy trip. It sits near the I-90 corridor, roughly eight minutes by taxi from Splash Lagoon, a manageable distance for a family with their own car. Free parking and free WiFi cover the essentials, and pet-friendly rooms mean a travelling dog doesn't rule the property out. There's no pool, hot tub or on-site restaurant here; this is a budget-tier stay for families whose spending priority is the water park itself rather than the hotel experience. For a multi-night trip where every dollar saved on lodging goes toward extra Splash Lagoon day passes, this is one of the corridor's most straightforward options.

Our take
This suits families whose budget priority is the water park itself rather than the hotel, and who don't mind a basic motel-style room for a few nights. The pet-friendly policy is a genuine plus at this price point. Families wanting a pool, breakfast or other amenities included should look at a slightly pricier budget-tier neighbor like Candlewood Suites instead of this property.
- ✓Book this property specifically if lodging cost matters more than amenities; the savings here can fund extra Splash Lagoon day passes instead.
- ✓Arrange transportation to Splash Lagoon in advance, since the eight-minute taxi ride from the I-90 corridor adds up across a multi-night stay.
- ✓Bring your own snacks and drinks, since there's no on-site breakfast or restaurant included with this particular budget-tier property.
Why we love it
- Straightforward budget rate near I-90 itself
