Rodeway Inn

BED BUGS
I stayed in room 208 and got bitten all over my body. The front desk was quick to switch our room but didn’t seem to be concerned about the problem. When I contacted the parent company they sent a form response and then didn’t reply after that for weeks. This place is a cheap hotel and I’ll put up with bad carpets and dirty bathrooms for a good rate. But bed bugs are never acceptable, especially when it’s obvious that management doesn’t care or take exterminating them seriously.
Also, the toilet seat was broken and in the three days we stayed there they never fixed it.
DO NOT STAY HERE

I give this hotel 4 stars just because it was very convenient for me. Not to far from the stores, city and from my family
The room could use some updating but other than that it provided us with the essentials such as a microwave, fridge, cable, free wifi, parking right in front of our room, and swimming pool.
I would come back here again when I visit.

I stayed here for 2 nights a few days ago and it was borderline horrendous. There was no internet service and when we luckily has a short moment of service, it was super slow. There was a phone in the room that was totally dead. I was very disappointed.

The place is a sh! t hole. The hot tub was out of order. No towels by the pool. The place is just flat out dull and dirty. Very outdated. No bar or restaurant in the hotel. Cigarette burns on the blankets. This hotel changes it’s name every year.

I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights and it was one of the worst experiences of my life. Let me elaborate.
First the walk to my so called «Executive Suite» was complete with horrible, run down hallways and an odor that could not be described. I checked into my room. I know this wasn’t the Ritz Carlton so I took it for what it was and immediately went to bed. Waking up the next morning I found that the internet that was supposed to be free didn’t work at all. I called the customer service line to no avail. The 2^nd night on arrival to my room I was completely in shock. My whole room was filled with little insects and bugs. Without exaggeration there were 1000’s of these insects on the wall, inside my luggage, on the bed and the pillows. I freaked out and tried to open the window and found a huge hole in the window. This was where these guys were getting in from (Probably attracted to the light inside the room). I immediately called the reception and the only response I got was «Just come down and get a new key to a new room». So I went down to the reception irate as you can imagine and I was greeted by the night manager. I told him again about what had happened and all he said was «well you got a new room, you’ll like this one!!» Not one sorry not one apology to calm me down even after I had informed him that I had left my luggage opened and had the bugs all inside my bag. All this for $ 85.00 a night!
I will never recommend this place to anyone! Bottom line this place is downright NASTY and the employee’s that work there don’t seem to care one bit!
I hope the health department would inspect this place and shut it down for good!

My mother has been staying at this hotel for quite a few years, and it has consistently been going downhill during that time. During her last visit, recently, she had to stop at the front desk to get new room keys every time she wanted to get back into her room, because they would just stop working. She was also without hot water for two days. Most of the time the side doors don’t work, and you have to enter through the lobby. The parking lot needs to be repaved, I’m amazed my car can get through the parking lot when I pick her up and drop her off. The rooms (and the hotel) are in bad need of a total rehab.

This place is a nice cheap place to go if your money tight and have no where else to go, as I did. The good part of this hotel/​motel is that it’s walking distance to food, shopping & entertainment. Jessica was a great help and did everything she could to make my stay easy because I had a dog. But, the bad thing is my room got broken into the last night of my stay. The management at night really were not helpful at all. The cameras were «down» at this time only in my hallway, I was the only room that got broken in and stuff stolen from. They are just brushing it off and not doing much about it. I would say be carful if you stay here!

This place is NASTY! The hallways and rooms smell bad. The staff is extremely rude. Actually, that is probably the rudest I have ever been treated at a hotel. I asked about opening the pool ten minutes early cause I wanted to get a workout before my first meeting at 8am and the guy said no. Ok, no problem rules are rules. So I wait out by the door and the dude comes over there treating me like I am there to vandalize his pool or something. Right, I got up at 530am, put swim shorts on, and grabbed a pair of goggles and a swim cap to just to vandalize your pool guy. What a prick! If I could give it a half a star I would. Do yourself a favor and book the doubletree a block down the street. Do yourself a favor and book anything but this hotel.

Do yourself a favor and don’t stay here. Heater didn’t work in the room, Staff was very rude after we were charged twice for our stay. This room definitely isn’t worth the $ 140 i was charged.

I work in the travel industry and rarely review on hotels because of that. It takes a special kind of bad for me to do so.
To start, this was not my first visit to this location, and i don’t remember the last visit being this bad. It smelled old, they rent out their pool to local groups, the soda from the machine was hot and the can was stiff (threw that away). There were holes in the walls, exposed wiriing, wall paper peeling, and dirty furniture; not to mention that the parking lot is just torn up.
I am conflicted between a one and two at this place. The only reason I am going with a two is because before and during our visit the staff was lovely and helpful. The person I spoke with AFTER our visit (with a billing question) said, (and this is a direct quote), «What do you want me to do about it?». I was shocked. My answer was, «I want you to connect me with someone that can help me, is what I want you to do about it.» Unbelievable.
To say that I have experienced better is the understatement of the season.

This is now a Rodeway Inn (Choice Hotels).
Had to stay here while work was being done at home.
Overall, the rating for this place is a C-​.
The room was clean but very worn out looking. Wallpaper peeling in the bathroom, faint grey sweat stains on the armrests of the upholstered chairs, very very very old television w/​only basic cable channels.
If these were the only issues I would still have given the place a B– as, after all, it is a Rodeway Inn.
The reason for only 2 stars/​C– was the front desk staff and management in general.
Could they have been more apathetic? Nope.
Each and every one has the perfunctory perma-​grin; but not a fricking one was genuinely interested in service.
For instance:
Two staff chowing down on lunch while several people are waiting to check out at he counter (I was not one, but only an observer)
Allowing the pop machines to run out of diet pop (all three machines)
Having a completely useless wifi signal
Not having housekeeping show up – AT ALL — for two days
Having housekeeping show up, after complaining, on the third day — but only after «Do Not Disturb» sign placed in the door at 4PM.
Housekeeping staff does not understand basic spoken English — cannot grasp «too late for housekeeping, please do not knock again, can I have more towels?»
The worst part was waiting for the coffee decanter to be refilled while, the whole while, having to listen to the front desk manager explain her ancestral connection to Betsy Ross and how she could prove «on BOTH SIDES of her family» (weird) that she was related to to the patriotic flag maker. Very self-​important story, lots of hot air. Pretty sure she was fulla it.
Not a fan of this Rodeway Inn. Choice Hotels needs to train all of the staff here and soon.

Noticed that the sign for the Howard Johnson has been covered with a fresh one. Hopefully this motel will be better. We need a good, reasonably priced motel in the area.
p. s. I rated this 3 stars only because Unilocal requires a rating. Also, I don’t know when it will open. Again, Unilocal requires a date.
