Pros:

Gute Lage.

Cons:

Ist etwas zur Durchreise, nicht für längere Aufenthalte (max. 1 - 2 Tage). Das männliche Personal sollte mal an ihrer Freundlichkeit arbeiten.

Pros:

Convenient location by the freeway, spacious room - with windows at both ends giving a through breeze.

Cons:

Rather surly staff (but we did arrive at 1am!) and room smelled of smoke. There was no mention of breakfast, which seemed unusual for a US motel.

Pros:

We booked Roadway inn for 1 night to attend a baseball tournament for my son. The location was close. The room was very clean, no funny smells, had clean towels and clean beds. If i had anything negative it would be the bed was alittle hard for my liking but not the end of the world we slept fine. When we play this tournament again i will be staying there again.

Clean, quiet and friendly
Pros:

Clean, quiet, friendly and safe. Easy access to Highway but quiet. Lovely back garden.

Charge for federal service animal
Pros:

I have a legally registered service animal and they charge me $25 per night plus a $25 cleanup fee and she doesn’t shed and she didn’t go to the bathroom in the room and she’s a federally service registered animal, which is against the laws of charge, she’s not a pet

Excellent value, location and a great room. I recommend it (and have).
Pros:

Spacious, well thought out room. All the details - extra blanket and even another! pillow.

Cons:

The check in person wasn't warm or friendly or anything even approaching that but I can deal with it.
