Top Albert Lea Hotel Reviews

Rodeway Inn & Suites Austin I-90

Rodeway Inn & Suites Austin I-90

8/10 Good
"This was a good value. Staff was very nice and helpful. Everything was clean and it was a quiet restful night of sleep. The bathroom light was not working quite right so was a bit dim. The only thing that I can really find fault with the place is really not their fault. They are doing major road construction at the exit where the place is and you cannot go that way which makes it difficult to get to. I was heading East on I-90 so went to the next exit and turned right, drove about 1.5 miles to stop sign and then turned right. Went about a mile to another stop sign and turned right and then about 1.5 miles to the motel on the left. I am thankful for the good night of rest and that I got a good value for my money."
