Waldameer+Hotels

[Reon]

So this week I'm heading up to see some of my college friends and hit some parks. I plan to be in Columbus tomorrow, CP on Thursday, and if I can finallize plans by tonight (points at description), then Waldameer for half of Friday, before I head to Bowling Green OH to see my other friends. My funds are a bit limited at the time, but fortunately, the only thing I actually need to pay for is a motel by Waldameer, and the actual wristband. That being said, any cheap motels/hotels around the area? I've been looking online, but I cant find prices listed for anything. I'll be driving up to said h/motel thursday night before I go to the park friday if thats any help.

Where are you looking? A quick search on expedia lists a handful of hotels in Erie,PA for under $60. I'd expect similar results from other sites like hotels.com, etc.

I was checking off of Waldameer's suggested hotels/motels, and then google searching the area...Right now I've found a few cheaper/shabby places, but the one important factor will be to find the place. I'm going to be arriving around 10:30, long after it gets dark, so once I get into town I need some light. Unfortunately my car's headlights are dimming a bit, so I can't see well without turning on the brights when I'm in a non-lit area.

 

Update: I'm going to be staying at the Riviera Motel. Its pretty cheap and well reviewed, not to mention right next to the park...Anyone have any other general Waldameer/Erie PA suggestions?

The Riviera is perfectly fine. I was there on a business trip a few months ago. You have to be a little careful with some of the hotels in the area. I would definitely stick with the suggested hotels on the Waldameer site. A search can bring up some sketchy places. This one isn't bad, and the price is ok. I'm sure you will be fine there.
