Good

Reserved a room for a king sized already paid for, they gave us a room has two XL twin beds, one very hard and one very soft but the soft bed was on a roller with no stopper the bed kept rolling around with any movement.
Tv was not connected to the server
WiFi connection did not work
Bathroom had roaches and a moth came out of the toilet paper roll.
My boyfriend and I just need a place to sleep for the night. You can find better INN for the same price they charge here, this INN should have been $40 bucks instead of $68.
Disgusting, air conditioner had towel shoved on side, toilet paper holder broken, stained bed sheets & comforter, no working cable/tv. and the staff had no care to refund or change us rooms. homeless & tweakers everywhere outside of building. didn’t feel safe
Room was clean. Just a strong smell of clorox. Everything worked. Looked nice inside. No people hanging outside. Nice experience. Had donuts and coffee from 7 am to 10 am. Staff was accommodating and let me check in hours early when I was late for a funeral. I requested a room downstairs because my husband is disabled and they gave me one with no problem. Parking was right in front of the room. The only reason I didnt give 5 stars was because I reserve 5 stars for 5 star hotels, but it was a good stay. Bed was comfortable. I have no complaints. Will come again.

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....👍
