Rooms are small but adequate. Shower in our room appeared to be new. Turned on a/c when we arrived to get rid of mild musty smell - smell was gone within 30 minutes. Small fridge, comfortable beds. If you want good location (around a few corners from Presque Isle State Park) and a good price, and you don't mind the... More

One of the most filthy Motels we have ever stayed at. No pride of ownership. Garbage around the front door, trash next to the vanity, peeling paint, dirty floors and much more. Avoid this place at all costs

I wanted a room that was cheap & clean. I got that. Only about a mile to Presque Isle, which is HUGE in my book. I just needed a bed, shower, AC and a TV, I got that. The AC unit was in the window which had drapes on it, so getting cold air into the room was tough at... More

This was our first trip to Erie PA/Presque Isle and I can guarantee that it will be a yearly destination for us! We would certainly stay at the Riviera Motel again. I do not care about decor, matching bed spreads and curtains....I care about the cleanliness of the room, the bed sheets, etc. and the Riviera was clean. It is... More

We go to this place every year, twice a year and we love it! It's quaint and has a neat 1970's retro feel to it. The staff there is very nice and they will help you as much as they can. It's also a nice place to meet some new people! We met some of our good friends there! If... More

If you want the feel of a cheap 1960s motel, the Riviera Motel is what you'll get...at a price that's not so cheap. Since it rained a good deal of our trip, we spent much more time in the motel than we had planned. And that was not a good thing. This was our yearly multiple-family vacation to Erie and... More

My family (two adults and a 17 month old child) decided to take a spontaneous weekend getaway in Erie. We didn't have any lodging reservations, but figured we would find something once we got close to Presque Isle. Unfortunately, there were no rooms available at any of the hotels we stopped at (soccer tournament) so we started to investigate motels... More

Upon pulling up to the hotel I had an Oh, no feeling. I was wrong. The staff was friendly, the room was clean and odor free. The air conditioner worked fine, a little noiser that mine at home, but it cooled perfectly. The shower/Bathtub was small, but big enough for my 2 & 3 year old to fit in at... More

My friends and I have gone to the Riviera for 2 years in a row, and plan on going back. The place is very clean, we see the cleaning women cleaning off the chairs all around the motel and pool daily. The pool is sparkling clean, and the motel is small enough that for most of the time you have... More
