    No coffee in the room. Spartan room with limited furnishings (no desk or chair). Mold in the shower. Staff seemed a little paranoid. Great for security, but not very friendly. Lobby closed at 9:00 pm. Had to check in through a small window.

    High security. Big TV w/lots of channels. USB connections. Clean room except for the shower. Refrigerator and microwave in the room.

    Communication with office staff was difficult due to language barriers. Room was adequate, furnishings on the old side. No laundry on site, referred to laundry next door in strip mall.

    Room was clean, no issues with bugs. Location was convenient. Queen bed was comfortable.

    The place was clean for what it was but it was just really worn out and old - browning and some minor stains/ scratches on walls and drawers. The bathroom seemed renovated and new but the room we got didn’t have proper working drains for the bathtub. Strand of hair on the towels there too.

    Great location close to downtown and the county fairgrounds where the event we were there for took place.

    The pilllow case and the shower in the bathroom were a little bit dirty, someone's long hair was hanging on the wall of the shower. But the price was reasonalable, and I would stay again if I visit venture again. Overall, it's a decent stay.

    Check-in was easy and check out was easy, good location and easy access to food and restaurant.

    I was a little disappointed with the clock on the Dish cable TV being off so the programing was goofy.

    I think I met the owner at check-I and we had a wonderful first conversation. I have not taken the opportunity to talk more with him as both of us are busy with our own things to do.

    No deadbolt on a door that doesn't close fully, some weird burns on the sheets and also stained, laundry is also stained. The bathroom wasn't clean properly and some of the stuff given in the room had been used. TV is impossible to use.

    Does the job for one night only

    It’s in need of a lot of renovation; and it appears management is working on it. But still a way to go though…

    We just needed a place to sleep overnight; and didn’t want to pay more than $100 to sleep a few hours. Rodeway Inn fit the bill. Cheap and cheerful. We weren’t interested in any extra facilities; just needed a bed to lay our heads on.

    This place would be amazing if they can mop the floors at least once a week. My feet were black with dirt after having my socks off for 5 minutes. Also could use some wall scrubbing. Also would like a way to lock the windows. And would be even better if the bedsheets didn't have cigerette bruns in them. Their gotta be a way to sort out smoking and non smoking room sheets.

    I liked the bed softness, the parking, and the adorable cats outside.

    The room needs some Tlc. But mostly noisey loud neighbors that stayed up most of the night. Just loud and obnoxious. Bed was comfortable. But did not get much sleep.

    The management staff was great.
