Rodeway Inn

If I could think of one word to describe my stay in the rodeway inn, that word would be: CHARMING! My expectations were like a roof blown off a small house in upstate Pennsylvania. I fell in love with the delicate floral wallpaper and the darling behind the counter had a lovely smile. I hope anyone would be as lucky as we were — stay in this gem! You won’t regret it!!!

Horrible in every way. Very rude staff who could hardly speak english. Room was filthy and itchy. The water didn’t work at first. I could feel the springs in the bed. Also the other guest were really shady. I was extremely uncomfortable. Do not stay here. You will regret it.

I’m not giving 4* because it’s a travel destination, but because for $ 70, it’s clean, has hot water, no goofy smells, no fear of stepping on critters, the shower was hot, coffee good.
We needed a stop en route back from Chicago and the other local places had reviews including musty smells, centipedes (likely silverfish or other water bugs), overflowing toilets. The other options in middle of nowhere PA were $ 95 – 150 hotels. Really? We just wanted a place to sleep, one that wasn’t gross because I’m too old for that & as good as my kids’ immune systems are, ok, it’s just me. Really. I just wanted a clean room that wouldn’t give me some unknown air/​mold/​damp disease.
This place is clean. The sheets are new. The bedspreads are new. The beds are firm. The coffee is dark & the shower hot. No funk from shower, floor, heater – yes, I’ve stayed in thousands of places now that I’m in my 40s, and this place was just awesome for what it was – a motel. Just one without funk. That deserves 4* when you’ve traveled up and down and across the country and even for $ 180+ have had funky rooms during dry season.
We parked in front. AAA discount. $ ⁷⁰⁄₂ beds, $ 50 for 1.
We ate at Ed’s Steakhouse down the street because they were open & served wine. Nice staff, filet done rare and charred.

This is a clean affordable place to stay. Desk personnel was friendly and polite. Room is good if you just need a place to rest your head for the night. Had a fridge and coffee pot in room. Which was a plus. Bathroom was very clean. Kinda a funny odor in lobby area but room smelled fresh and clean. (We Got a non smoker room)
Only bad thing, the motel is right off exit and my husband was kept up by the sound of the trucks «Jake-​braking all night. Me, I can sleep through a hurricane do I didn’t hear them. .
However the «continental breakfast» could use some work. There was no waffle batter. Just some stale cereal and a supermarket box of stale muffins. Left hungry. Even the coffee was dreadful.
But other than that I would recommend this place for a night. But eat at the diner across the street. Good food there.

For the type of travel I do, this hotel fit the bill. The room was clean, the tub/​shower worked as expected. I was truly disappointed with WI-​FI since I could not connect with either phone or laptop. Loss of two stars there folks! Wi-​FI is expected at any location worth staying at. The morning breakfast was a joke. The waffle maker does not work, and the lights are off to save money. Overall I’d stay here again only if I had to.
