You can speak with the cobblestone inn on the bayfront or the b and b Victorian house on peach and ask about offers and family rates as they may be less expensive alternatives to the Sheraton or marriot. Additionally you can reach out as a rewards member to the Marriott or Sheraton and ask about deals. All the options named are close to the hospital in Erie
The Avalon hotel on 10th street is a great value but no frills, rooms are around 60-70 a night, looks a bit rough on the outside but the rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable, definitely a budget hotel but worth it.
