My first night there I was attacked by bedbugs. The next day, management accommodated my request for a different room. The rest of my time there was fine.

We booked a room at the Rodeway Inn, which is the closest hotel to an ill relative we were visiting. 5/17. -5/23 It was a horrible experience all around. First, our door lock would not open with the key card. The first day we had to call the front desk twice to be let in. The first time I almost felt bad for the guy because we were on the second floor up a horrible staircase. The second time, not so much. Other things wrong with the room (and I have pictures): Knob to turn on one of the lights was missing. You had to try turning a thin metal stick to turn it on and off. Mold in the shower. The hair dryer in the bathroom was broken, had chips out of the plastic, had burned plastic on it as well as being so dirty and disgusting, I felt the need to use hand sanitizer. Rust on the metal tissue box holder. A very “not up to electrical code” three way electrical plug running the coffee maker, the refrigerator, and the microwave. The door chain to our room is missing. It’s not that it doesn’t work or is falling apart. It is MISSING! When I asked if we could be moved to another room with a working door lock I was told it would be $10 more a night if he could but since we booked through Expedia he couldn’t make the change. After telling our TN family members where we were staying, they were shocked and appalled because it is a well known location for drugs. I want to warn people to NOT stay here and I think Expedia should not include the Rodeway Inn on their list of hotels.

Its ok for the price.

Well at 3am i had to switch rooms cause the toilet broke. Then the room they put me in had mildew in the shower, the toilet seat was dirty(lucky i carry cleaning wipes with me), and the bed sheet was dirty. I bring my own blankets. The walls had messes in them that could have be easily wiped up if the cleaning people would clean correctly. Definitely wasnt impress. The breakfast was ok.

This is a nice motel, especially for the price. It is an older facility, which is why I didn't rate it higher, however the room was very clean as was the common area. The staff was helpful and friendly. It was a couple of miles off of I-75 but easy to find. There are some restaurants near the motel too.

Great place to stay for stop off the I-75. About 4 minutes from the hi-way and lots of dining options around. Try the Lazy Beagle 2 minutes down the road. Circle K across the street has the cheapest gas around. King room we had was spacious and clean. Friendly counter staff was accommodating and served a basic breakfast with a waffle maker. Great overnight stay for the price.

Nice place to rest

We weren't there for very long. Just to get rest while we were traveling back. The staff was very friendly and courteous. The place is older, but you can tell they keep it together nicely. No bugs, no bad smells. Felt safe.

Great value for the price!

Front desk guys were very nice. Beds were comfortable and it was a great value for the price. The fresh coffee and waffles were a nice perk too! And we loved our little duck visitors too!
