Overall, this property was really good. There was plenty of parking, ice machine, microwave, refrigerator, and an extra large TV. I had trouble getting the TV to turn on, but the staff was great and assisted me with that. Everything was in fair condition. However, the tub was a little old looking and the shower head needs to be replaced. Overall, I would stay here again. I was very satisfied overall.

This hotel has come a long way from a few years ago, the walls are clean and painted with fresh paint, the bed was exceptionally big and comfy, the tv was huge witch made it seem like u were in a theater, the wifi is the best (uncensored) wifi ive used in any hotel in a long time. Overall cleanliness is a 9 compared to the 4 i gave before... The front desk staff is helpful, polite and goes out of there way to make sure u are comfortable 100%better than the hotel that it was prior to the rodeway inn....👍

Good stay.

Room was clean. Just a strong smell of clorox. Everything worked. Looked nice inside. No people hanging outside. Nice experience. Had donuts and coffee from 7 am to 10 am. Staff was accommodating and let me check in hours early when I was late for a funeral. I requested a room downstairs because my husband is disabled and they gave me one with no problem. Parking was right in front of the room. The only reason I didnt give 5 stars was because I reserve 5 stars for 5 star hotels, but it was a good stay. Bed was comfortable. I have no complaints. Will come again.

False advertisement

Yo checkin was goid, staff was nuce. When i got in the room, it smelled like cigarette smike and the towels looked like some used them to clean the engine of their car. The tub was really dirty, soap scum everywhere and rust. The shower curtain was dirty, it needed to be thrown away. The tv was huge and the bed was ok. Will never stay here again.

One of the Worst Hotel Experiences I've Ever Had

This was by far one of the most horrible rooms I’ve ever stayed in—and the worst part is, it wasn’t even cheap. Due to a highway closure, I was forced to find a last-minute place to stay. Most nearby hotels were fully booked, and unfortunately, this one was among the few with availability. I chose it because the price suggested it would be somewhat decent, and the photos on the website made it look clean and comfortable. What a lie. The room was filthy, outdated, and completely unacceptable for the price I paid. I immediately asked the front desk to move me to a cleaner, more decent room, but they claimed the hotel was full and that this was the only option. It was past midnight and I was exhausted, so I had no choice but to stay. The towels were disgusting, and the shower was in such bad shape we didn’t even use it. I wouldn't wish this experience on anyone. This place is misleading customers with false advertising and overcharging for substandard conditions. Absolutely unacceptable.
