Rodeway Inn Near Legoland

We had to rent a room here because our hot water heater wasn’t working. My son and I decided to stay, just because it was fun to spend the night in a hotel. It’s not a five star hotel, and there are some problems, but I feel like I couldn’t ask for more for the rate. I was waffling between a 3 and 4, but I really feel like we got exactly what we paid for.
I would say, if I wanted a perfect stay, I would advise them to wash the bathroom walls, and shampoo the carpets.

Called to ask early check in and was told a $ 30 fee for it, does not sound reasonable. Front desk is not very polite and has strong accent.
Pro:location, close to legoland, 1 star
Cons:
Room smells!
Mattress cover has cigarette burns
Sheet and bath towel has stains.
Outdated furniture
DIRTY CHAIRS, don’t even want to put luggage on it, not to mention sit!
DIRTY carpet
2 bath towel in each room and refused to provide extra for kids
Won’t come back.

Such a disappointment! The most dirty room I have ever seen. I actually left and had to stay else where. There were stains all over the bed, a bug in the bed, no outlet covers, stains all over the floors and no flushing toilet. The customer service and the front desk was horrible!!! I would not recommend this place to anyone! Thanks for screwing up my son’s 6^th birthday night.

Only one star is giving b/​c this location, I find freaking hair all over this pillow, room looks like never had housekeeping, I have to wear my clothes on to sleep, dirty floor, everything looks cheap and crap, save u some money! I just waste 100 dollars

Where do I begin. I should of known better when I called and they said they didn’t need my info to reserve a room that there would be availability later that day. Well there was, due to the fact they have horrible customer service, their prices are all over the place, the wifi went down for the two days I was there. Save your money and book somewhere else. The only saving grace for me was that they have small refrigerator and microwave in the rooms. I won’t be coming back here

Stayed here on several occasions. We will never be coming back here. The guy never gave us our aaa discount. The room smelled like pee, and they came to our room at 11 and knocked on our door and told us we had to leave because it was checkout time. I will be calling their corporate office and complain. And i will not stop until this is resolved. We stay here at least 1 to 2 times a week.

great value and took care of all of our needs. free wifi. parking. breakfast. clean. spacious.

One night stay from spending a day at Legoland.
It was a cozy and nearby hotel where my boyfriend and I got to enjoy a night out.
The room was nice and very comfortable. I don’t recall having any issues with the room — I just remember feeling absolutely comfortable with our stay. The staff was very nice and they had complimentary breakfast but we missed it.
This hotel had a slight issue with parking. I remember that people wouldn’t park on their designated numbers and we drove up and down to find a spot by the trash bins.
We didn’t use TV — but the AC was wonderful!

Dirty floors… Incompetent front desk. Very hard to understand… Booked wrong night and charged cc. Asked for towels and pillow. Never came. Had to go to front desk to get. Never got pillows. Advertised HBO… didn’t have. Feet got black from walking around… dirty rug. WI FI too weak to work.
Not a good place to stay… They don’t care about their bad customer service.

It was clean and comfortable. This room was a little shabby compared to the room I stayed in last time. However the price is unbeatable – and inside of the room more than decent for the price. They accommodated me with super early check in for just a $ 10 fee… worked out perfectly.

This place is awful! We have stayed here so many times and never had issues, but it has went down hill, you get what you pay for! This room was not clean, it had dirty sox and hairbrushes, medications from the last guest. I got out of the shower and walked around in my room, when I got dressed and went to put my shoes on the bottom of my feet were BLACK! The carpets we so gross! I will pay $ 30 more per night and stay at the Hyatt house from now on!

If I could give this hotel ZERO stars, I would! Like the others that are writing reviews, the customer service here is the worst I have ever seen. In particular, Raj (who never once cracked a smile), works at a snails pace. He was very irritated when I politely asked for more towels. He took his sweet ol time to get them. So long in fact that I thought he was getting them out of the dryer or something. LOTS of noise from the main road. Don’t be fooled by their free breakfast. Unless you like orange juice that tastes like water (because they are so cheap they water it down), and stale cereal, I would highly recommend going somewhere else. Bugs were flying around in the room. Bedding looked dirty. Raj didn’t even want to print off a receipt for us when we checked out. He said that we should have gotten one in an email when we confirmed the reservation. Checking out took 10 minutes with us being the only ones in line (it seemed like longer since the kids were getting impatient in the car). RUDE, RUDE, RUDE staff.

Just as Google says: comfort and convenience at an affordable rate. Anytime you can say all three of those words in the same sentence, it is very doubtful that everything is going to be «perfect» as some would like. However; Rodeway Inn has come very close to doing just this. This is our second time staying here and they have done some upgrades to the rooms since our last visit. If your looking to travel on a budget but don’t want to sacrifice, it’s a great place to stay.

smelled like crap in and around the room, complained and they didn’t give a flying hoot. Stayed on a Saturday and around 12 am the people next door let their brats talk loudly and hit on the walls. Very annoying street noise, random noises and awoke on Monday@ 3:30 am to a horrible smell that would of woke the dead. We were DONE! Complained about that too and they still didn’t care. Don’t stay here! I recommend the Travelodge just down the street from them or any other place on earth.

Don’t pay anymore than $ 100/​night for this place. Yes it’s clean but the pillows on the bed look more like cushions and the fact that it has a microwave and no kettle and a fridge and nothing in it just seems weird. It’s a motel 6 with an extra coat of paint.

This place was convenience for us to stay overnight being closer to the event we were attending and the rates, we usually just pass through Carlsbad usually at 75−85mph.The manager was so-​so no smiles, or small talk, the out side grounds was well taken care of and very clean with security cameras (7) watching the hotel, the room was very nice and clean, from the carpet to the drapes which did not smell, there is a small fridge, small micowave, small hair dryer, one complaint no Ironing board you believe that… this Is the first ever for me, take the coffee maker or the hair dryer out, a Ironing board is a MUST in all hotels, I called the office and would you believe he told me to come to the office to pick it up I told him abut that too when we check out and for that 2 stars.

Cutest hotel ever! It had a very cozy+comfort feeling. The free breakfast bar, was an awesome addition, the pool was clean, and had a friendly environment surrounded by it, and the game room/​arcade was just as great. It felt as if I was home, haha. And the convenience of having a mini fridge+ a microwave in our room was awesome, not to mention how fairly nearby all the restaurants were: In n out, bjs, tgifridays, pf changs, etcetera! Also a great place to stay, if you plan on going to legoland; only a 3 minute drive. Also nearby a very beautiful landscape of a flower garden. Definitely planning on coming back here.

It was clean, they initially said they were gonna charge for a cot, but then didn’t.

I just checked in and i was very sceptical at first when i read all the reviews but I’m glad i took a gamble. Our room is very clean and looks refurbished. Of course this is no 5 star hotel but its very nice and clean… only downside is the
freeway across the street so the noise can be a nuisance but is not a deal breaker… no problems with staff… will stay here again for our legoland trip

If we had not accidently made a mistake in booking a room I might be leaving a different review because I would not know the two sidedness of this crap hole. The mistake though, let us see how these people operate and I would recommend skipping this hotel and the rude, unaccommodating people who run it.
We booked this hotel very last minute and arrived at 11:15 pm on a Friday night. Two people checked us in, they were not exactly unfriendly but they were not friendly either. They just pushed a paper across the counter and pointed to where we were supposed to sign. They never confirmed the room type or bed type with us, they just handed us a key. They did not even direct us toward the room.
Perhaps it would have been better if we had never found the room. When I pushed open the door I was immediately taken aback by the stench of stale cigarette smoke. I literally gagged. Do we want to sleep in an ashtray? We walked around amazed at how disgusting the room was. The blanket was paper thin and had cigarette holes in it. The carpet had cigarette burns. The towels were frayed and super thin. The smell was overwhelming. We pushed the mattress aside checking for bed bugs and there was the kicker, a cigarette in the bed, ashes and all. Awesome.
After being told rudely by the front desk that we could not move rooms, we called all other hotels in the area with no luck. We argued with the front desk again. They had another room available for $ 30 more but we could not have it at the price we had booked the other room for ($ 70) (at this point it is 11:45 pm). The women just kept saying — you booked it — it’s what you get. What happened to customer service? We booked a room thinking we could actually sleep in it — I cannot sleep in an ashtray.
We finally opted to pay more for the non smoking room which also had non frayed towels, bedding without burns in it, and no direct view of the freeway. That must be the room everyone else who has left a review had in the first place. If they had just moved us to this room it wouldn’t have been so bad, but for the lady to argue and raise her voice at us is unacceptable.
Yes we booked the wrong room, but who actually wants to pay $ 70 for a room that makes you gag? A motel room should not make you gag. The better room was $ 30 more, if we had known we would end up spending over $ 100 on a motel we certainly wouldn’t have stayed at this crap hole that is practically on the freeway.
