A family owned old-style motel, updated. You definitely feel that you are welcome and guests at a B&B. The unit has a kitchenette with the necessary supplies, WIFI, and door-front parking. Beds were comfortable and clean. The only real negative other than some issues with the room being dated, was a general feeling and smell of dampness (although it was summer and just off a lake), but the AC was efficient and minimized that.

Room # 5 was a nice size for my family of 4. It was furnished with 2 full beds and comfortable couch that can be viewed online. The fridge was full sized, and the kitchenette was nicely equipped. We ate out most of the weekend, but it was nice to have a light breakfast with coffee, or a bedtime snack. Once we figured out the shower, the hot water & pressure was wonderful after a long day of driving. I would consider Colonial Motel for another stay when we visit Erie in the future.

I've honestly never been to a more cozy motel. The rooms were nice size, there was a cute kitchenette with everything you need provided including pots and pans and a fridge/freezer. The couple that owns it are friendly, kind, and very helpful. The room was cleaned than any more expensive hotel I've stayed at. Highly recommend. We would definitely stay here agay

What a great little find I came across. Minutes away from town, so many wineries in the area, and close to the Beachglass Inn where we were attending a wedding. Easy checkin with Lou; room was clean, updated, and a good size. Beds were very comfortable and having a kitchenette for sips and snacks was fantastic! Would stay here again and again.

I have stayed at The Colonial Motel on a couple previous occasions so was familiar with it when I booked a 2 night stay in June 2025. The Motel is a Mom and Pop independent type operation. It is an L shaped one floor facility with exterior individual room entrances where you can park your vehicle directly outside your room door for convenient access and for loading and unloading belongings. The building is an older structure, dating back to at least the 1970's but any room that I have stayed in here is clean and appears to have been renovated. My room featured a large mini fridge, microwave, gas burner cooktop, sink, and cabinets, so is handy for anyone preparing simple meals. Cable TV with a wide variety of channels and complimentary wireless internet was also included. I found my room to be spacious, quiet, and comfortable and plan to continue to lodge at this motel on future visits.

I recently stayed at the Colonial Motel of North East, PA, and I was blown away by the incredible hospitality and kindness of the family who owns and operates it. After being caught in a long snow-related traffic jam, I arrived early Saturday morning feeling weary. The family went out of their way to accommodate me, helping me get into a room early and even offering food to make sure I was comfortable. Their genuine care and dedication to their guests truly stood out. The room was spotless, cozy, and exactly what I needed to recharge. It’s clear this family takes great pride in their business and treats their guests like extended family. If you’re ever in the area, I can’t recommend the Colonial Motel enough. A big thank you to the team for making my stay so memorable and showing what true hospitality is all about!
