Red Roof PLUS+ & Suites Erie
Budget suites with kitchenettes and room to spread out
About this hotel
Red Roof PLUS+ & Suites Erie is the one property near Splash Lagoon specifically built around family suites, an unusual combination with its budget-tier rate. Some rooms carry kitchenettes, worth confirming directly when booking, which lets a family cook a meal or two during a multi-night stay rather than eating out every time. The property is pet-friendly too, rounding out a rare trio for this price point: extra space, a kitchen option and a welcome for the family dog. It sits near downtown Erie and roughly five minutes by taxi from the Erie Zoo, useful for families building a rest day away from the water park into a longer trip. Free parking covers the basics for anyone driving in from outside the immediate Erie area.

- 5 min taxi to Erie Zoo
Our take
This suits families wanting more room and a kitchenette option at a genuinely low rate, especially those travelling with a dog. It isn't on the Splash Lagoon footprint itself, so a short trip to the water park is part of the trade. Families wanting the shortest possible distance to Splash Lagoon over extra space should book a Peach Street property closer to the entrance instead.
- ✓Confirm a kitchenette room specifically when booking, since not every unit at the property is configured the same way for a longer family stay.
- ✓Plan an Erie Zoo visit if the trip includes a day away from Splash Lagoon; the zoo sits roughly five minutes away by taxi.
- ✓Pack basic cooking supplies for a kitchenette room, since the property provides the appliances but not groceries for a multi-night stay.
Why we love it
- Family suites, rare at this budget price point

Why guests love itRed Roof PLUS+ & Suites Erie is a two-star budget hotel near downtown Erie, five minutes by taxi from the Erie Zoo, rated 8.8 across 798 reviews. Family suites give more room than a standard motel, and some include kitchenettes for simple meals over several nights. Free parking and pet-friendly rooms suit families driving in with a dog. Splash Lagoon is a short trip away rather than next door, so I would pick it for space and value over proximity.
