We asked to see the room prior to checking in. After we saw it we left, and did not stay the night. The room and everything in it was old and very tired looking.

I didn't stay there. Roaches all over the bed and floor, holes in the walls, next door had music blaring and the lady passed out on my door step. I need to know how to get my $ back. Completely unsafe and unsanitary.

I needed this hotel location for convenient access to my purpose for travel, visiting relatives nearby. The kitchenette was nice, but I went to Walmart and bought a cheap coffee maker and K-pods for $24, then took it to my kids' house when I checked out. Only problem I encountered, besides the disrupted highway access due to road construction was that hot water was rather unreliable. The room's climate control was good quality, and the room was comfortable overall.

This place is terrifying. Upon check-in, the owner told me that he just gave my first floor room away about 10 minutes ago and I would have to go upstairs. No problem but a weird thing to say. The room was a dump. The bed and sheets appeared to be clean, but there were cracks in the walls, furniture, broken, and in dis repair, and no hot water. The worst part was, the owner got a fight with someone right next-door. There was yelling and throwing things until about 2 AM when the other person left.We paid for two nights, but did not go back after the first one. This place is a complete dump. Stay away.

Room and staff. Accidentally booked a smoking room, didn’t know they still offered that. No biggie, that was on me! However there was mold on the ceiling, the room smelled as such as well. Could have maybe been the WINDOW UNIT that is mounted into the wall! The toliet moved every time you sat down or got up, to the point I thought our child fell in the bathroom. The cabinets were falling apart. The bed leg was nearly broken off and the “blankets” that were on the bed felt like the curtains that were hung up! Booked the room for 4 people; 2 adults and 2 kids yet there was only two towels left. The door although locked still appeared to be open! The shower took nearly 10 minutes to become like warm! 10/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! I personally do not feel that it would pass any health inspection performed!

Room was subpar and outdated. Staff was absolutely horrible. I left and stayed with my son who had the flu. I wish i came to the reviews because every review said exactly what i experienced amd their auto reply says they will work harder to correct their problems. They dont care about any of their problems and its obvious. Money grubbers and very sterotypical of their kind.

Roaches

The staff were helpful when i needed my room keys reset and they cleaned when needed, but i would not stay here again because the first night my daughter had a cockroach crawl on her. I ended up seeing a second one later and my other daughter next door to us had them in her room too. I have to keep my luggage outside now that im home so i dont bring an infestation inside. I did not address it with staff because i figured it probably wouldnt change anything.

Feels like a dangerous place to stay . Rundown eve

This is a very bad hotel experience . There are many vagrant people gathered outside the hotel . There are dis laying on the different floors . It felt like a dangerous place to stay . Room was run down . Toilet paper holder tore off wall . Main door security lock would not function. To many people hanging out outside -operators must be renting rooms out by week or month. People sitting outfitter rooms with doors open . Vagrancy feel . Scary .

You certainly get what you paid for - do to a booking snafu I was in need of a a cheap room for one night quick. Needless to say, a $79 dollar room in Florida, is exactly what you expect it would be. To be fair, the room was clean. But clearly there was patched repair work to many spot in the walls, the AC unit in the room was on its last legs and there was a gap at the bottom of the door that allowed cigarette smokers from the other guests to waft in the room on a putridly humid night. The box spring bed was no treat either. I didn’t bother to unpack and hoped to baby Jesus that I wouldn’t be covered in bed bugs when I left in the morning, which I wasn’t and wanted to provide some positive feedback. The place looked run down and can definitely use some TLC, but like I said, you get what you pay for.

I was charge for a fee for 2 service animals. The property manager stated that my visitor could only be there for 15 minutes or she would charge me for another adult. She charged me a whole $240 extra. I tried to leave on Friday instead on Saturday. I was told I wouldn’t get a refund. The people there are money hungry and the pool was nasty. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to the roaches. Not to mention it was roaches infested. Not to mention the ac didn’t cool the room and there was a hole in the bathroom door.

Upon checking in, we were shown both rooms in our booking. I was charged $40 for my pets' stay with us. A smell that was not noticed at first was evident in one of our rooms, a heavy mildewy smell. While both rooms had kitchen sinks and refrigerators, they also had roaches. My dogs were the cleanest additions to this property. We had to plunge one toilet. One shower came out half from the spout into the tub and half from the shower. The trash can outside our rooms was filled and overflowing, and never emptied. Within 5 minutes of checking in, a police car showed up and 2 people who had been hanging around the front lobby were spoken to by police. It appeared that some people live in this place. The pool area looked great, but it is right in front next to the busy highway under construction, and the next morning when those trucks and machinery geared up, it was very noisy. I undersrand this is a temporary matter, but until then, do not expect a restful stay.

We checked out the day we checked in. The smoke detector was missing, but wires were exposed, there were long exposed nails not flush with bottom of cabinets, cabinets did not close, knobs we’re missing, the AC unit was plugged in on same wall next to bathroom sink, the toilet seat had burn marks, an interior door had packing tape running down the length of the door…. We don’t know if it was a closet or an adjoining room, the sink had ants in it. This was room number 115. Please investigate. We were too afraid to even spend one night there.

March 21, 2025, I checked into Rodeway Inn located at 28596 US Highway 19 North, Clearwater, FL 33761. As a world traveler who has stayed in youth hostels and five-star resorts, I was appalled and shocked with this facility.
Upon entering the room, the stench was unbearable. I returned to the front desk and was given another room, which smelled and looked as putrid.
The room had many spackled patches and holes in the walls. The bedspread had multiple holes. The light above the sink contained several dead bugs.
The exterior hallway where the ice machine was located reeked of weed.
Needless to say, I slept in my car.
Unfortunately, your site does not have a zero star. This facility needs to be removed from your suggestion list.

No way.

The door wasn’t fitted to the frame; it took effort to close and lock it. The toilet wasn’t anchored to the floor—it rocked! All fixtures were old to the point of rusting. The “kitchenette”, was a collection of (previously used, I’m sure) unmatching, paint-flaking cabinets and countertop. The only reason I stayed at all was because it was late, and I was exhausted from staying at a family members deathbed. I’m sorry there’s not a “no-star” rating. I’ll never stay again.

Steer Clear of the Rodeway Inn

This hotel is a dump and should not even be allowed to stay in business. I am not even sure why the authority having jurisdiction is allowing this hotel to continue trying to sell it's service to the general public. I was scheduled to stay three (3) nights, but only stayed the initial night. Even then, we contemplated several times that night to pack up and leave; however, it was late and really had not other play to go.

False advertising- the pictures online show nice, new, clean rooms and a decent looking property but it is a run down roach motel. The painted over black mold and cockroaches caused my wife to have an allergic reaction to the toxic environment and she ended up in the ER to get treated for hives. Doors were broken and unable to lock them, this is not safe. Room was filthy. Zero refund policy at the property dispite these conditions. We checked out after 1 night of our two night stay.
