Reserved a room for a king sized already paid for, they gave us a room has two XL twin beds, one very hard and one very soft but the soft bed was on a roller with no stopper the bed kept rolling around with any movement. Tv was not connected to the server WiFi connection did not work Bathroom had roaches and a moth came out of the toilet paper roll. My boyfriend and I just need a place to sleep for the night. You can find better INN for the same price they charge here, this INN should have been $40 bucks instead of $68.

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.

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....👍

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.

I filtered to reserve specific - allows pets and kitchenette. Was a 1 week reservation. Was given a double (reserved a single) was told “they should charge me more”. They were serious. We checked in late afternoon. The place was truly filthy. A complete dump-dive. I have pics. No exaggeration : the tub/shower and sink had so much scum it changed colors w/cleaning and needed surfacing repair so bad. The shower curtain was yellow, scummy and changed colors w/ cleaning too. Floor not even swept nor mopped (dirt, stains, spills and sunflower seed shells everywhere and as much as 1/4” corner scum/dirt/buildup Hand and dirty prints on every wall, filthy. Cockroaches everywhere…we killed so many. The air conditioner looked like it had BM dried up and other filth on it. Drawers that wouldn’t close, no smoke alarm, no fire water system, no wheel stops/brakes on bed, and, to top it off - no kitchenette. We had to throw away 7 lbs of chuck beef, 7 lbs of boneless chicken breast and all my condiments. Our home wasn’t habitable for the week. It was everything from our frig/freezer. And the added expense of eating out every meal. I tried to speak with the management and corporate. Excuses from the management and very lame offers to “accommodate” from corporate Points for a free nights stay. - “No Thank You. That’s actually stupid. This place should be shut down for health and safety compliance. The only good thing was a convenient location.

Upon arrival, I noticed that the trash bin was located close to the entrance and it was completely filled with trash flowing over it. People walking around the area were of questionable character and the feeling of safety comes immediately to mind. Checking in was fairly easy and straightforward, but seeing a younger family member sitting alongside while playing with a tablet seemed a bit unprofessional to me and I guess that is what distracted her from telling me where my room was located or she expected me to find it for myself. Getting into the room, I was immediately hit with what could only be a chemical smell of what they could have used to get rid of the smoke in the room since it was a “No Smoking” room to begin with. There was a decorative picture that was taken down from the wall and placed on the side of the room. The microwave was a bit of a joke and didn’t have the rotating plate inside of it. The curtain for the shower was not properly put up so the curtain could fully close and the water was hard to adjust from hot to warm. The mattress to the bed was unevenly worn and the sheets were not even fitted to the bed. At least the A/C worked and the TV was nice and big to enjoy. But it was a place with a bed and shower. So there’s that.

The staff was ok, room was dirty and looked like it had not been cleaned in months. There was alot going on at night and i was uncomfortable and had a hard time sleeping. There was no parking, if i didnt have a handicap placards i wouldnt have been able to stay the second night. No way to check out in the morning, i left at 930am and there was no one in the office. All in all this was not a positive experience
