The best part of my stay at the Downtown Erie Hotel was... The day I left and went home. What a dump. Worst hotel I've ever stayed in. Old building spray painted with graffiti. Badly cracked and chipped sidewalks. One building support pillar cracked and caved in appears to be nearing collapse. Pool water very cloudy and dirty and not cleaned during my entire stay. Stinky smelly dirty rooms with filthy moldy mildew infested bathrooms that have no exhaust fan. I stayed in 2 rooms because the ac unit was non functioning in the first room so the front desk clerk moved me to a different room where amazingly, that ac unit broke down the very next day! (with no apology either) Bed mattresses totally completely worn out like sleeping on the low end of a trash dump. Speaking of trash, the garbage cans in the hallways and corridors were not emptied at all, in 2 days, consequently overflowing onto the floor. Lobby has a strong, unpleasant, nauseating odor of cigarettes and down the hall is the lounge that incredibly enough, smells even worse! Disgusting! But have no fear because right across the street is a wine/liquor store and an escort service! My room cost $79 plus tax but quite honestly, I wouldn't stay again if they paid ME $79 a night! Disgraceful! This hotel should be immediately condemned.
