Travelers: Do not fall for the pictures! These rooms are smoke-filled, dirt-filled, moldy, broke down, and uninhabitable. I am unsure how they're not shut down. The stairs are rusting and slanted as well. Even the lobby where you check in is absolutely disgusting. I was traveling from out of town and not many options available due to a weekend-long event occurring in town. When I stepped in the room, the air was so heavy, I couldn't breathe. My lungs hurt for hours after just being in the room for 20 seconds. The furniture was broke down and had dirt and mold build up. The carpet was stained with black rings everywhere, had insect-feces embedded in it along with what must have been cigarette ashes. The bedding was black! (A huge red flag for hotels - doesnt show how dirty it is). I immediately requested to check out, due to the severe health and safety hazard, but they refused to refund my money under a \"no cancelations policy.\" They insisted on showing me a different \"brand new\" room, which was only slightly cleaner. I still couldn't breathe in it. The perfumes used to attempt to cover the horrible smells of smoke and uncleanliness made it even worse. This place needs to be shut down. *I am far from a fancy person, and I have no qualms staying in a low-quality room. But this was far beyond that and a serious health and safety risk.* I ended up having to stay an hour outside of town, but I don't even care at that point. Someone needs to shut this place down.

The owner and the first receptionist were extremely nice. However when I check out at 7:30am the receptionist was laying in the floor of the lobby with a guy watching a movie. I felt like I was disturbing them. And I had 3 roaches in my room, I wanted to leave however it was in the middle of the night in Terre Haute and I had limited options because everything in the the city was booked.

When we walked into the room, it smelled bad. Had to go to the store and bought odour refresher and some incense. Sprayed the refresher all over the room and burned some incense and opened up the windows. The room smelt better after that. The male staff on duty was very pleasant and helpful.

Terrible

Check in was good. Gentleman behind the counter was friendly. We were able to bring our 6 week old kitten with us, that is a plus.
At first glance, it was obvious that the buildings needed updated (No big deal).
The room however is a big deal. IN NEED OF REPAIRS AND UPDATES BADLY, and a THOROUGH CLEANING. Entry door didn't fit the frame, large gap all the way around. All touch areas had to be cleaned, they were filthy. Light switches need repairs, wall patches everywhere, vent hanging from ceiling, the list goes on and on.
Bathroom towells were very thin. Only had enough for 1 night stay (staying 2 nights), couldnt get more towells after hours. Only 1 small bottle of shampoo, 1 bar of soap. Luckily, i brought our own.
First night went ok, only thing was burn holes in bed linen, and somewhat noisy outside.
Second night was a different story.
Very, very noisy from other guests outside. Again, no big deal really, i can deal with that. But what i cant deal with is ROACHES! I saw 2 that night. No sleep for me, i had to inspect our belongings and pack up.
We saw 1 more the next morning before we left.
You get what you pay for, I know. But this is ridiculous. We've stayed at other Rodeways and they were fine, but not this location. We will NEVER stay there again, and I HIGHLY recommend that you DON'T either.

This hotwl had a 4 srar rating. We had reserved a non-smoking room and were given a room that not only smelled of cigarette smoke, the walls were brown with smoke stains! There were tobacco stains in streaks on the bathroom walls.The desk clerk brought us an ozone machine but the smell was so heavy it didn't help. The room chair was so dirty we wouldn't sit on it. We walked on the carpet with our shoes and our socks got dirry. This was the worst room We've ever had. Will may never stay at a Rodeway Inn again.

Surprisingly comfortable and condition, despite outdated furniture. I put on Elvis music and really felt comfortable. TV and shower were very good. Mini-frig/freezer was a plus, and ice machine was nearby and worked very well. Surprisingly quiet surroundings, despite the inn being in a depressed area of town. I would stay there again by myself, but my family would \"judge the book by its cover\" and refuse to stay there.

This was an experience.

In addition to other comments about dirty rooms, mold and grumpy clerk, I got some bonus entertainment. As a relative was dropping me off in the parking lot after dinner we were rushed by a transvestite male prostitute trying to turn a trick. Next a loud argument in the parking lot awoke the world at 4 am.People apparently living in cars in the parking lot (Red Chev HHR and beat up Chev family van) constantly on the move. A bonus - the laundry/ice machine room floor was wall to wall with large and super size dog turds, in various stages of decomposition.

When I arrived on the property there was an actual police raid going on. As I walked to the office to check in, the police stopped me and said I would not be able to stay there. There was an armed man at the motel and they were looking for him. They also said the motel is a known drug dealing location with multiple drug violations, stabbings, and even murders. Having an out of state license plate made me a target and the police were not going to be able to let me stay. It took me another hour to find a hotel that I had to pay an insane amount for, plus the loss of what I paid for the Roadway Inn.
I will never ever attempt to stay at this hotel again. It was filthy, completely unkempt, the obvious criminal activity, and not to mention, the police said it was one of the most dangerous areas in town. And that’s all from the outside of the building.
So I’m giving this motel the absolute lowest rating, along with asking for a refund.

Hood Hotel Complete With Prostitutes!

In the middle of the hood! Arrived at 3:30 pm, a BBQ started in front of our room by 5 pm (lasted until 4:30 am). Cops were called by 6 pm due to a confrontation in the parking lot. Someone said to the cops when they arrived \"Welcome Home\" and one cop replied \"Might as well be, I'm out here at least once every shift\". Police were back and forth all night long. A constant party going on in the parking lot. Hookers working the street from the hotel and using the hotel for their work. In our particular room, the bathroom sink was falling off the wall, you could see all kinds of large patches in the wall due to the paint used on the patches was a different color (I'm assuming the patches were to repair bullet holes). Our front door had approximately a 1/2 inch gap running from the floor to the top of the door so you could easily see if someone was standing in front of your door, of course someone outside could easily look in. Didn't feel safe at all and was constantly concerned if our car was safe outside as we knew we weren't safe!

DO NOT STAY HERE!!! Upon entering the room, it looked as if it hadn't been cleaned. Maybe straightened up, but certainly NOT clean! We were in the room for about three minutes and saw FOUR bugs. We were so disappointed in this property we checked out. The fact that it is a Choice property is even more upsetting. I know you usually get what you pay for, however, I have been a General Manager for different Choice brand hotels (Econo Lodge , Comfort Inn , and Solstice). I do not expect to pay a Roadway Inn price and walk into a room at a Solstice price, but I DO expect higher standards from Choice!! This property ABSOLUTELY IS NOT CHOICE HOTELS STANDARDS!!! I will be contacting them.

Beware Major Issues with Cleanliness

This place looks run down from the exterior and things are even worse in the interior.

My room was infested with bugs crawling all over the bed and in the sheets. I received numerous bites within an hour.

The bugs were visible to the eye and unfortunately, I did not check before I went to bed.

It was brought to the attention of the front desk clerk and general manager Neel Modhera. None of them seem to concerned about the issue. The general manager just sent me a generic email to apologize and in now addressed the issue.

Cleanliness in general is a major issue overall.

The shower faucet was broken and it almost fell off the wall when I tried to turn the water on.

The rates were very good but I would pay extra to stay at a more sanitary place. Several other options in the area.

There was really nothing I liked except convenient location to a workshop I was going to. The price was less than a lot of higher tier hotels in the area, but for $60 ($70 with tax), I definitely did not get my money's worth. Place was run down, small, mostly clean, room smelled musty, bath towels were paper thin. And most of the lights in room had a motion sensor that you couldn't turn off. So when I went to bathroom in middle of night, both the light outside of bathroom and light in the bathroom turned on, blinding me. Only positive thing I'd say is staff was polite and TV had about 10 cable movie channels.

Hospitality Hangs By A Thread

In past years I would have referred to this location as the fifth level of Dante's Inferno, however I was pleased to discover this time that many improvements have been made or are currently in the works at the Rodeway Inn. The hotel is under New Management and that individual seems to take some pride in the improvements he's making and for that I commend him . I would also like to recognize several staff members who go above and beyond and out of their way to perform their jobs conscientiously and to make the guest stay as pleasant as they can. The housekeeping staff is friendly and helpful, they made a point to return an item I had lost and for that I am quite grateful. The maintenence staff are also friendly and responsive. The hotel now features more comfortable updated bedding and the furnishings are being replaced and repaired. That being said the hotel still has quite a bit to overcome. The neighborhood in general, while it is accessible to several venues for food another points of interest , is sadly in a state of great decline. The grounds need a clean-up desperately as litter is scattered throughout not just this hotel but the entire area. Management while they have improved their customer service in my opinion there's still quite a ways to go. The hotels in this area are entirely too apt to forget that they are part of the hospitality industry and not tenement landlords. Instead of policing the grounds after checkout they might consider preserving regulars.

Beds were comfortable, that is once we got to a room, at first the attendant gave me a room that was already occupied, ended up walking in on a poor man in bed. Finally got a unoccupied room and there was rat poop on the bed we met the mouse later in the night. Made the reservation through Expedia at 2 am after leaving the hospital. The attendant told us our check out would be the following day at 11am. Since it was already 4/3 we would check out on 4/4 at 11am. That is even what the paperwork said. However, we were rudly told to leave when we woke up on 4/3 just a few hours qfter checking in by the morning staff/owners. Very unprofessional and rude.
