We stayed at the Avalon after celebrating my brother's wedding. The room we had was large with an ok view. The ceiling does need a bit of an upgrade and the light switches were hard to find. The air conditioning was not working properly. We had to set it to 40 to get any cool air out of it. The... more

The Avalon Hotel is not a true 2 star hotel any more. From the day we arrived I knew that I would here it for my guest. The place was noting like the pictures on the internet. Now when you call they will tell you that this is an old hotel and that it may need some up grades. To... more

Some friends were in from out of state and we traveled to Erie for a night out. We had never had problems with the Avalon before, as all of us attending one college or another in the Erie area.

When we complained about this Sunday morning, the manager... more

I stay here often because this is where the Erie Philharmonic puts its members up for the night. The location cannot be beat. It is really the only decent hotel in the downtown area. The underground parking is a huge plus. On the negative side, it is old and is showing its age. The windows let a lot of cold... more

The most attractive feature about this hotel is its location, 6 blocks to Gannon University. The staff are friendly and very helpful, another one of their big assets. The food in the restaurant is pretty good, especially the Italian foods, and extremely inexpensive. I have had two experiences with losing things here. The first one was leaving all of my... more
