• Angela (1/5): -
• Rogelio (3/5): -
• Mikki (7/5): - There were roaches!!!
• Ahmed (1/5): Ran away from the first night didn’t feel safe. - New floor only Everything is old and broken, No hangers available, the shower head is too low. Had to bend during showering
• Lindsay (9/5): - ​"A simple, straightforward stay that provided the basics for a decent night's sleep." ​"Good for the price—nothing fancy, but it gets the job done if you just need a bed." I didn't like the homeless people hanging out in the front of hotel entrance
• Mohamad (1/5): -
• panela (1/5): Very ghetto no running water would not recommend - The size of the room was nice My room literally had no running water and I couldn’t take a shower
• Ernest (10/5): -
• Abdallah (1/5): Horrible, got robbed. - Not clean at all, hair in the bathroom, dirt on the floor, no outlets, bed sheets dirty. I cancelled right after checking in and I never got a refund. Owner also charged my account before I even checked in. Do NOT book this location Absolutely nothing. Place should be shut down
• Quinn (1/5): I hated it I wish I would’ve kept my money, and slept in my car. - Not one thing beside the AC worked! Everything! My tv didn’t work, my room was dirty when I checked in. It was like someone checked out, they made the bed and that was it.
• Stacey (10/5): The stay was great I will visit again soon - Thr owner/manager was very nice. He met any needs in a timely manner. Higher toilets because I'm tall. Very hard to sit on and even more difficult getting up.
• G (8/5): -
• George (1/5): Couldn’t stay because of the horrible state of the location. - Not to bad mouth the place but it was like one of those shady places you see im the cop movies. The clientele looked shady. One room smelled terribly of cigarette and on a a mirror there was a message written that said “y’all didn’t think I would know” 😳then a second room the furniture was old & chipped. I decided not to stay. I asked Booking.com to ask for a refund but it never came. Everything! Cleaner rooms, newer furniture.
• Mendoza (5/5): - location was great room, sheets, towels, restroom were really dirty. only washcloth was clean. need maintanence. the bed covers were dirty as well. i stepped on dog poop that was next to my car.
• Muslim (1/5): Everything was dirty from bedsheets towels and couch the rooms was smiled very bad all from illegal drug - I didn’t like anything we dirty place and dirty hotel The hotel was full of drug people and homeless its danger for family to stay there
• Irma (10/5): Cómodo - Mas o menos, un poco deprimente porque muuuy mal pintado el cuarto y se percibía un olor a drenaje 🥲

• Marcus (10/5): - Everything was good! Front desk are really nice everything works in the room love the big screen TV
• Rachell (10/5): - This hotel has come a long way from a few years ago, the walls are clean and painted with fresh paint, the bed was exceptionally big and comfy, the tv was huge witch made it seem like u were in a theater, the wifi is the best (uncensored) wifi ive used in any hotel in a long time. Overall cleanliness is a 9 compared to the 4 i gave before... The front desk staff is helpful, polite and goes out of there way to make sure u are comfortable 100%better than the hotel that it was prior to the rodeway inn....👍
• Sonia (8/5): - Overall, this property was really good. There was plenty of parking, ice machine, microwave, refrigerator, and an extra large TV. I had trouble getting the TV to turn on, but the staff was great and assisted me with that. Everything was in fair condition. However, the tub was a little old looking and the shower head needs to be replaced. Overall, I would stay here again. I was very satisfied overall.
• Shantel (1/5): -
• Jessica (1/5): Reservation was canceled a few hours before landing. Was forced to pay double at another hotel due to holiday weekend. -
• Guest (4/5): Very comfortable bed and functioning amenities are undermined by a dirty floor, dirty shower floor, and dirty armchair! - The bed was super comfortable and appeared clean. The air conditioner worked well. The WiFi worked well too. The TV had no problems. The room is very spacious. Three things were dirty: the entire floor, the shower floor, and the seat of the armchair. I was grossed out. I put a towel down on the shower floor because I didn’t have shower flip flops. The floor had spots of gummed up crap and overall was covered in stuck-on dirt. It clearly hasn’t been mopped on a regular basis and now needs a serious deep cleaning. On the bed I slept on top of the comforter with my own blanket because I didn’t trust that the sheets were actually clean. They appeared clean, but that didn’t matter. When I pay nearly $250 for two nights I expect nearly flawless maintenance. This was worth only $50 a night. I could have camped at that rate and would have had a better experience. I would like a $150 refund!
• Lolita (2/5): - I filtered to reserve specific - allows pets and kitchenette. Was a 1 week reservation. Was given a double (reserved a single) was told “they should charge me more”. They were serious. We checked in late afternoon. The place was truly filthy. A complete dump-dive. I have pics. No exaggeration : the tub/shower and sink had so much scum it changed colors w/cleaning and needed surfacing repair so bad. The shower curtain was yellow, scummy and changed colors w/ cleaning too. Floor not even swept nor mopped (dirt, stains, spills and sunflower seed shells everywhere and as much as 1/4” corner scum/dirt/buildup Hand and dirty prints on every wall, filthy. Cockroaches everywhere…we killed so many. The air conditioner looked like it had BM dried up and other filth on it. Drawers that wouldn’t close, no smoke alarm, no fire water system, no wheel stops/brakes on bed, and, to top it off - no kitchenette. We had to throw away 7 lbs of chuck beef, 7 lbs of boneless chicken breast and all my condiments. Our home wasn’t habitable for the week. It was everything from our frig/freezer. And the added expense of eating out every meal. I tried to speak with the management and corporate. Excuses from the management and very lame offers to “accommodate” from corporate Points for a free nights stay. - “No Thank You. That’s actually stupid. This place should be shut down for health and safety compliance. The only good thing was a convenient location.
• Travis (1/5): Terrible - Nothing None of the photos look like the place it self sheets were dirty towels were dirty bathtub was stained black
• Zarzhitsky (1/5): - I had several phone conversations with the manager and finally he moved me to another motel cross the street, which was certainly worse than I expected.
• Tatinya (10/5): Enjoyed - It’s clean and staff is great!!
• Tatinya (9/5): - Very clean and friendly staff. Small parking lot
• Nicole (7/5): -
• Nicole (8/5): - Staff didn't mind me cleaning the room ourselves Wasn't the same what we seen online as far as the rooms look doesn't look the same in person
• Demos (10/5): -
• Ted (4/5): - Upon arrival, I noticed that the trash bin was located close to the entrance and it was completely filled with trash flowing over it. People walking around the area were of questionable character and the feeling of safety comes immediately to mind. Checking in was fairly easy and straightforward, but seeing a younger family member sitting alongside while playing with a tablet seemed a bit unprofessional to me and I guess that is what distracted her from telling me where my room was located or she expected me to find it for myself. Getting into the room, I was immediately hit with what could only be a chemical smell of what they could have used to get rid of the smoke in the room since it was a “No Smoking” room to begin with. There was a decorative picture that was taken down from the wall and placed on the side of the room. The microwave was a bit of a joke and didn’t have the rotating plate inside of it. The curtain for the shower was not properly put up so the curtain could fully close and the water was hard to adjust from hot to warm. The mattress to the bed was unevenly worn and the sheets were not even fitted to the bed. At least the A/C worked and the TV was nice and big to enjoy. But it was a place with a bed and shower. So there’s that.
• Jesus (2/5): - Called me sale day to cancel room
• Manual (2/5): - Dirty room and very noisy room
• Jaelynn (2/5): - Towels were dirty, bathroom door didn’t close. People surrounding our car, and staff was acting very sketchy when we chose to leave before even staying the night, followed us to our car.
• paul (2/5): - The staff was ok, room was dirty and looked like it had not been cleaned in months. There was alot going on at night and i was uncomfortable and had a hard time sleeping. There was no parking, if i didnt have a handicap placards i wouldnt have been able to stay the second night. No way to check out in the morning, i left at 930am and there was no one in the office. All in all this was not a positive experience
• Martha (6/5): - Small crowded parking area, room criwded with 2 beds, mini fridge had no freezer. Area okay, not great. Staff friendly helpful & quick response to any issues.
• David (2/5): - the staff canceled my reservations without notify me.I will never book again.
• LaToya (2/5): - The location was horrible . The room was dirty , some of the lights did not work and had roaches. We had to wait until the following morning to change rooms. The second room's remote control didn't work, room was not as dirty as first room. This was worst we've ever experienced
• Nikky (2/5): - If I could leave a negative review I would. The pictures on the website are probably 20+ years old. Noisy people, unsafe area, stained sheets and towels, horrible shower head looks like a pipe coming out of the wall, dirty tubs, had to use shower shoes, somehow the bathroom smelt like weed. Over all an unclean room and even had lifted floor boards with water underneath that was no where near a water source. The person above us decided to walk/move furniture all night and we got no sleep, staff wasn’t there to inform. Also allows people to permanently live there. They also never clean their “pet area”. Just disgusting, should be shut down. We paid for 4 nights and left after 3; We couldn’t handle it anymore. Spend the money and stay somewhere else. I wish I listed to the negative reviews. Considering reporting them.
• Dolores (2/5): - Dirty rooms
• Homayoun (7/5): -
• Karen (2/5): Horrible - Honestly, this hotel is disgusting. First of all I called before reserving to ask if the standard room, king size bed has a stove, microwave, and fridge and the guy told me yes. When we arrived there was no stove. They offered to change me to a room with stove for $40 bucks more so I said sure. We walk in the new room and you can tell that the only thing they did to the room was febreeze it. Everything was dusty, the fooors dirty, the shower was dirty as well. The shower curtains were all moldy and black at the bottom! Disgusting place. Later that day we tried to cook on the stove and it never turned on! Honestly, what the hell is up with this place.
• Laura (9/5): Superb - Rooms was essentially nice. It was close to the family we came to visit. Grateful to get a ground floor side room. Manager was very nice & replaced the fridge that wasn't cold. Kinda weird having residents live there. There was an odd drain hole thing in the closet.
• Daey (2/5): - El baño sin agua pésimo lugar
• Ceniceros (6/5): Easy check in and great staff cleanliness could use some help - The friendly staff quick check in availability There was cockroaches I was afraid to take one home
• Mauricio (10/5): - Great price . Pet friendly
• Seth (2/5): - I would never stay here again. The place is absolutely filthy and rundown. Spend the extra money and stay somewhere SAFER and CLEANER. The floors were so dirty, the bath was dirty, outlets didn’t work, curtains had rips. Homeless people right outside the property. Just avoid this place
• Candace (8/5): - Very quiet location. Nice management.
• Fatin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Christinna (2/5): - The staff member that checked me in was rude tossed my id and check in paperwork and key towards me instead of handing it to me. The bathroom was dirty the shower curtains had stains. The bathtub was filthy. The TV doesn’t work. Would not recommend this location again.
• Mary jane (8/5): - Cool
• MariLu (8/5): - Everything was ok .
• Rosanna (1/5): Very dirty place and not taken care - Nothing Dirty , smelled as humidity , very bad taken care off .
• Betty (10/5): - It’s been very satisfactory
• Dawly (6/5): - It's ok.... If you just need a place to sleep for a few days. Seems like some guests are semi permanent. Which is fine because we all have times that we are in transition. Just set the bar low. But it's a place to sleep.
• Venters (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lori (10/5): - Friendly&kind staff
• Basilio (4/5): One of the Worst Hotel Experiences I've Ever Had - This was by far one of the most horrible rooms I’ve ever stayed in—and the worst part is, it wasn’t even cheap. Due to a highway closure, I was forced to find a last-minute place to stay. Most nearby hotels were fully booked, and unfortunately, this one was among the few with availability. I chose it because the price suggested it would be somewhat decent, and the photos on the website made it look clean and comfortable. What a lie. The room was filthy, outdated, and completely unacceptable for the price I paid. I immediately asked the front desk to move me to a cleaner, more decent room, but they claimed the hotel was full and that this was the only option. It was past midnight and I was exhausted, so I had no choice but to stay. The towels were disgusting, and the shower was in such bad shape we didn’t even use it. I wouldn't wish this experience on anyone. This place is misleading customers with false advertising and overcharging for substandard conditions. Absolutely unacceptable.
• Chadaporn (10/5): Exceptional - good service n/a

This place provided just what we were looking for

The shower curtain was dirty, it needed to be thrown away. The tv was huge and the bed was ok. Will never stay here again.
• Hine (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rhondaw (1/5): Yikes - They have BED BUGS, and the good review on the website is from somebody that works at the property so it really doesn't count there's nothing nice about this property the people aren't nice it took me 2 hours to get checked in because the room wasn't ready so I had to go leave and go shopping and come back. Wasn't allowed to have any company couldn't have an extra parking space place was hell on Earth I messed up on the first one there I just saw that it was what did I like about it not a goddamn thing what did I hate about it everything
