Booked this hotel for 3 days to visit family in IA. I was on a budget so I figured this hotel would do. As I pulled up the exterior looked pretty rough and my girlfriend started to check reviews online. Most of the reviews rated this hotel poor but I figured I'd give it a chance and see how the...

On a road trip with the family and wanted to save a few bucks. Was a great reminder that you get what you pay for. Room was more of less acceptable, but with both an outside and interior exit it felt anything but secure. Door frames looked as if they have held dozens of different security devices over the years.... More

I was staying on the top floor and could literally feel the floor "squishing" beneath my feet. It felt like I was going to punch right through the floor. I think it had rotted away. I did not take my shoes off to walk around the room and felt nervous all night. I stay in hotels for at lest 4... More

This hotel was absolutely horrendous. I booked it because I figured I'd save a few bucks and it was a Choice Hotel, I didn't read any reviews. I pulled up and immediately started getting worried. Checked in, went to inspect the room, was just awful. Everything was awful. Like, it wasn't overrun with sewage, but might as well of been.... More

This motel does meet my basic needs, clean bed and hot water. It also had a bunch of stuff I don't use ... hair dryer, fridge, coffee maker, TV and breakfast. It is an old motel, it shows more in the halls than in the room. As I write this review, Trip Advisor now displays some prior reviews next to... More

Even the bed bugs would not stay here. We went in to our room and decided there was no possible way we could stay there. It was filthy, mattresses were torn, doors did not lock. The carpet had a film on it. The sleeper sofa was so filthy and torn up I doubt the Goodwill would even take it. Avoid... More

This is an average Rodeway. However, the check-in staff were excellent, and the breakfast was awesome. Biscuits and Gravy will win me over any day. Otherwise, it is a bed, a shower, and a sink. That was all I needed.

I spend 3-4 days a week on average in hotels with my work. Every penny that I can save goes right back into my pockets, so I pick my stays with care for the prices. While this isn't anything like a high-end hotel, it's acceptable and keeps my budget intact. No bugs, everything works that's supposed to, and overall no... More
