This place was a joke!! Coffe maker but no coffee or cups! No Kleenex. No usb plug. we stayed 3 days, No room service. She said someone would be in as we had to ask for more towels Their excuse was someone called out and didn’t have enough maids? They had shampoo/conditioner dispensers. But no shampoo! I will never stay here again and I don’t recommend at all!

These people refused me service and then stole my money. No where on the site does it say a deposit is required. I did not have enough money for a deposit and so the crook behind the counter refused me service and kept my money. Stay far away from this place.

I called to confirm there was a business center because the description stated it had one along with a photo of it. The young lady on the phone was not helpful and I had to call back a 2nd time to confirm. When I arrived there was no welcome or acknowledgment that I was waiting to get help or a business center. The young help desk agent was busy w phone calls and signing another persons paperwork. I had to ask if I could get help after 3 min and asked to use the bathroom. It took over 10 min to sign in and 3 times running my credit card. She had to call the manager for help which I understand she had no control of. I went to my room, it was ok but no tv and I wasn’t told if there was WiFi. I came down to the office and asked about the tv, it was out and there was none the entire time. I had to ask for WiFi info too. No business center. No TV. Not a welcome. The young girl was trying but just didn’t feel welcomed.

The room was just fine for what I paid, the bath water was hot and the room was cleanish. Many of the amenities listed were not available and that caused me much inconvenience since I’m traveling. There was no laundry room available so much of my stay was spend cleaning my laundry in the bathtub (during a migraine), no reliable internet so I had to pay for my own, and no ice.

When I first arrived the rook they gave me was not ready (dirty, beds not done, etc) then they switched my room and the ac was leaking, the coffee maker was dirty with old coffee, the room only had 2 towels and when I asked for more they made a big deal about it. The breakfast they offered was cereal, milk, coffee and waffles. We asked for room service and never received it even tho we stayed for 3 days. The ice machine doesn’t work, one of the nights there was a man out in the parking lot fighting with his partner and he was screaming and slamming doors we notified the office and they did nothing.

The Rodeway Inn that we stayed at was horrible. It was in a very sketchy neighborhood and when I opened a drawer there were cockroaches. I couldn’t get out of there fast enough. I left and made a booking at the Hampton Inn instead. I should get a refund for instances like this. I doubt if I will book through hotels.com again.

This place is awsome! Will be my go to place when we stay in SD from now on...for the price cannot beat this. Clean, no roaches/bugs, comfortable beds, small but clean pool, AND breakfast! We stayed at a place in a neighboring city that was only 10 dollars cheaper, had roaches & no breakfast. Met one of the maintenance workers and he was kind & helpful. House keeping staff is obviously doing an amazing job too!

Although this property was not luxerious, it had the basics that we needed.
The locked check in door had me concerned at first, but the staff was friendly and helpful. We found the beds super comfy, fresh towels and sheets appreciated. (Some green hotels will not replace daily) It was hot and enjoyed the change. New flooring and paint on the bathroom door would help the appearance greatly, but the location was very convenient to SDSU (1 exit away), and parking directly in front of room was nice. Will stay again.

The hotel was ok. I really wouldn’t go out of my way to book it again. The room was so small. There were three of us and it seems so small. The water in the shower was reversed. It said it was cold but it was hot so it was not pleasant getting in the shower. The room also had a weird smell. The room was like stuffy even after the air was on. The area was fine and pretty quiet.

The bed had dirt clots under the sheets. There were make up stains on the comforter, the carpet felt damp and sticky, there was a hole in the wall in the bathroom. The room smelled musty.

Get what you pay for

Me and a friend only stayed for one night. Check in was smooth and the lady at the counter was nice. However I was confused about the incident fee which was a 100 dollars. Not sure what happened in the past that would make this establishment enforce this policy but I would receive the 100 dollars back from them at the end of my stay which they had housekeeping check the room. Overall for employees they were fine and were kind. The room however was below average. Bed sheets has stains, the curtains had stains, toilet seat cover had dust on top so not sure when the room was last used. Overall if you need someplace to stay for cheap and it's for a night only this is fine just be aware of the fee and if you get a room that is up to par.

Dingy, old, smelly, no room service, sketch characters. They left windows open on the first floor to vent the must and smell which was not safe. Bed and pillows lumpy and old. Nothing service wise around except for 1 restaurant next door (which was decent). Random junk, garbage, old chairs and a random old ATM sitting outside in the weather. Thumbs down overall.

Drove from Phoenix and arrived 1 hour and 45 min before check in time. Was attending a wedding that evening. Asked if I could check in and was told it would be $15 for each hour I was early. So we went and ate and then sat in the parking lot for 20 min. till check in time. At check in $100 deposit was needed and it had to be cash. No worries since they had an ATM that they probably get a cut of the fees. The room was thrift store sheik.
A/C didn’t work so I found a maintenance worker in the parking lot smoking cigarettes and working on his car, (signs everywhere NO SMOKING on premises -$250 fine) He threw the breaker switch to fix it. The iron didn’t work so couldn’t press clothes for the wedding. In the morning took some things to the car and the key card wouldn’t open the room door when I came back.
At checkout, I was asked to wait outside of the lobby while the desk clerk went to check the room so I could get my deposit back.
There was more, too much to list here, that was just wrong on so many levels. Lesson learned. There was a Days Inn right next door. I should have paid a few dollars more.
I highly recommend you avoid this place.

I asked for extra towels and when they “cleaned” or exchanged they took all 4 towels and only gave back two. No washcloths. The towels were old and one was actually an old bathmat that they are giving you to use as a towel. The room cleanup was literally just the towel exchange, no bed making or vacuuming or cleaning of any kind. But for the price, I guess it was expected. Check in young lady was great. Just waiting on the 100$ refundable deposit which they still have a couple days so no negatives on that. Compared to other hotels it’s what’s expected from the price.
