Well, it could be an error, or it could be okay. It depends on the context it was used in.

Yes - a more quiet place contrasted with a noisy place is OK - eg: talking about a restaurant.
This place is so noisy. Can we go somewhere more quiet? |

Okay, it �s not really 100% correct since it �s obviously a comparison. HOWEVER, in everyday conversation people will use things like that. I don �t know why, maybe because it sounds better to say "more quiet" than "quieter"?!
