Rodeway Inn

If I was a smoker, I’d have given this place 3 stars as the rate was incredibly low and the room included a microwave, mini-​fridge, flat screen HDTV, as well as wireless internet. Unfortunately, I’m not a smoker and even being in a non-​smoking room — waking up each morning after breathing second hand smoke from the room below us for three consecutive days was awful. I’ve stayed in hundreds of hotels over the past few years and have never had my health and feeling of well-​being affected as negatively. Some other gripes — the only food they offer in the morning is old bananas and overly processed honey buns (the kind with 500 ingredients). The shower water goes from cold to scalding hot with the slightest nudge of the knob. The toilet is awkwardly close to the bathroom door, making it difficult to close. The second-​hand smoke was actually so bad I slept in the front seat of my truck on the third night. If you don’t like smoke in your room, stay away. If you don’t mind it or are a smoker, the room isn’t a bad value for the low price.
