Categories

Cleanliness
6.5
Multiple guests reported bugs (crickets, ants, centipede), dirty bathroom floor and an unclean tub; some found rooms otherwise tidy but insect issues lowered perceived cleanliness.
Service
9.3
Staff and owner repeatedly described as friendly, accommodating and helpful (early check-in, helped with special needs, honored late check-in), though front desk responsiveness and unattended lobby were occasional problems.
Location
9.4
Convenient location: very close to Hwy 10 with low road noise, walkable to the Lantern Festival and near dining (Denny's); pet-friendly grounds and walking path noted positively.
Room Quality
7
Mixed room quality: some found rooms clean and HVAC/shower fine, while others reported uncomfortable or hard/rickety beds, slow sink drain, worn carpet and miscellaneous debris left on floor.
Amenities
7.2
Amenities were inconsistent: property offers pool, ice and coffee service but guests reported the pool was green, ice machine out of service, lobby locked during promised coffee hours; pet-friendly features and parking are positives.
Value for Money
9.2
Several guests called it a good value or great for the money for a budget motel; privately owned feel and low rates were repeatedly noted as positives.
Food and Beverage
7
Limited on-site F&B: promised lobby coffee was sometimes unavailable and breakfast not provided; discount at nearby Denny's is available but in-hotel beverage service was unreliable.
Overall Experience
9.2
Overall mixed but generally positive for budget travelers who value location and friendly staff; serious cleanliness complaints by some guests (bugs) led a few to leave, while others enjoyed a quiet, economical stay.

Pros:

I enjoyed my recent stay at the Copper Stay Inn/Rodeway Inn in Benson, AZ. It is a budget hotel, but all of the amenities were clean and sound, including the bed, shower and bathroom facilities, and HVAC unit. The staff was very friendly and expedient, and check-in and check-out were quick.

Do not stay here!
Pros:

We were in town for the Lantern Festival. We dropped our stuff in the room and went to the event. When we got back, the room was full of crickets and other creepy crawlies, including a centipede. None of us were comfortable staying there. The picture of one bug in the bathroom also reveals how dirty the floor is. We got an airbnb and left immediately at 10 pm. We will be calling for a refund.

Copper Stay/Rodeway Inn
Pros:

Danny O'Sullivan [owner] and his staff are excellent. Facility needs upgrades, beds are hard and uncomfortable. Copper Stay is in the process of joining the Rodeway Inn chain and maybe this will help.

Our over all stay
Pros:

When we got to the motel, they let us in early , which was very nice because we were really tired from traveling and really needed a nap but .... There were really big black crickets in the room and every time we opened the door , moths came in the room . I guess we weren't used to queen size beds , they just felt so small to us so we used both beds , one bed was really rickety but , the other bed was comfortable, otherwise the room was clean , although I did find someones list vitamin on the floor . And oh ! The sink drain was very slow in drainage. The motel could use a remodel , the carpet is pretty worn out !

Pros:

There were bugs on walls in room. The shower dripped the whole time we were there. Old rusted cars in the parking lot and poor outside lighting.
To be fair we had car trouble and the honored our late check-in

Pros:

The hotel is just 1 minute from Hwy 10, but there was no road noise. I very much appreciated the quiet full night sleep.

It is a clean, although older, motel.

They allow dogs and there is a nice walking path just outside the hotel. (See photo)

The only thing nearby is a Denny’s. We didn’t have breakfast there but we were told that with your hotel keycard you can get 15% off.

Pros:

I’ll start by saying that the rooms were very clean. The beds were very comfortable. My problem with my stay was that the staff when you needed them the door showed an open sign, but no one was ever in the office. You rang the doorbell. You have to stand there for at least 10 to 15 minutes to get a response. We wanted to use the pool, but the pool was literally green and full of dirt we wanted ice. Their ice machine was out of service when I pay a rate for something I expect to be able to use the amenities that they are promising us.

Stay at own Risk....
Pros:

The front desk guy was very nice at check in. Stayed one night. Pleasant little hotel. However....AC didn't work. Room was very dirty down to old coffee stains on the counter like the room had not been cleaned after the las6t guest. Lots of loud tenants. Mattress was too small for the bed frame which left steel bars to walk into.

Great place to lay your head
Pros:

Just a quiet old motel that’s working hard to stay relevant. The front desk person was wonderful. He put my 86 year old mother and I near the lobby and even walked down, opened our room and turned the heater on for us.
