Categories

Cleanliness
2
Multiple reviews report roaches, visible dirt, stains, handprints on mirrors, used towels left in rooms and a guest finding mice — cleanliness is a major negative.
Service
6
Mixed service: a few guests mention helpful and friendly staff at check-in, but others report long waits, unresponsiveness to calls and an annoyed clerk; overall inconsistent but some positive interactions.
Location
4.2
Several guests raised safety and signage concerns (no clear office sign, smashed cars, reports of loitering and noise), though the property is on a road convenient for travelers; location is usable but has notable issues.
Room Quality
2.5
Rooms described as old and in disrepair: torn/stained carpet, worn bedspreads with burn holes, mismatched bed types, non-working TVs and overall poorly maintained rooms.
Amenities
3
Amenities are limited or not functioning for several guests (hair dryer and coffee maker unusable, basic/bare breakfast offering, facilities not kept up).
Value for Money
6
Mixed perceptions: some guests felt it was inexpensive and 'got what they paid for,' while others felt it was too expensive given the dirty conditions — overall value varies by guest expectations.
Food and Beverage
3
Breakfast complaints: reports of no breakfast despite booking expectations or a very poor offering (white bread & cereal), plus general complaints about smoke smell in hallways.
Overall Experience
6.1
Overall very mixed: many reports of severe cleanliness and safety issues (roaches, mice, odor, loud/unsafe environment) offset by a few guests who found inexpensive, quiet suites and friendly staff — resulting in a divided experience.

Pros:

Turns out, there was no breakfast, even when we were looking to book a room, breakfast was including.
The gentleman at the desk was helpful & friendly.
The room was a mess. The room might have been clean, but it didn't look clean. The room needs major work.

It was very inexpensive and I got what I paid for. The people were nice - the room was clean - the facilities were not kept up as you would expect from a more expensive hotel.

Never Again!
Pros:

First off, when you drive in there is no sign anywhere as to where the office is to check in. Had to ask someone coming out of a room, where they pointed to a nondescript building in back of the block of rooms. Clerk there seemed annoyed that he had to stop and check me in. Parking lot had a couple of old, smashed up cars that you could tell had been sitting there for some time. When we got to the room, which was supposed to be 2 beds, there was only 1 king-sized bed. The building inside has very old, torn, stained carpet and putty patches everywhere. Bedspread on bed seemed clean but worn and with what appeared to be cigarette burn holes. Irony is that the Rodeway Inn sign by the road states "Newly Renovated". Very deceiving! If I hadn't been on the road for 12 hours already I would've have looked for another hotel, but I was too tired to bother.

I didn't even check in
Pros:

Looks like a place drug dealers and serial killers go to hide. I drove up and decided that the $110 i was going to lose wasn't worth risking my son's and my safety.
