I have very few complaints about the hotel, cleanliness, for the staff. For the price it was good.

However I marked my scores down because the walls of this building are absolutely paper thin!! People above me were loud and running across the floor all night, loud sex lol, I could hear shouting in the parking lot, could definitely hear people in the rooms next to me. Far far from a good night of sleep unfortunately.

When I first approached the hotel my first thought was it's an apartment complex. The exterior needs updated. The room was clean. The lobby is small, the reason they do not offer breakfast. Coffee is offered though. I didn't utilize the pool so I won't comment on that. Overall a decent place to stay for the price.

The room wasn't very clean, The toilet seat was staid, the toilet had a poo streak in it which is nasty, the bathroom is extremely small and not very clean. T
The air conditioner has mold growing in it and the ceiling isn't very well insulated so you can here the people in the rooms above you and all the things they are doing and lastly the parking spaces are narrow as can be if you have a truck it's tight to open your door. I would not stay at this hotel again for the $150 they charged for a night is a little over priced IMO!

We have to stay in the area somewhat regularly but I will never come back to this hotel. The room smelled so strongly of disinfectant, it took about five hours to clear out with the window wide open and the fan blowing. The bed had only two pillows and a thin blanket, and there's no closet with extras. The shower had shampoo but no conditioner, there was one floor outlet that wouldn't reach the other side of the bed, and the two towels provided were so thin, I couldn't dry my hair much less my body.
Our room was right next to the stairwell, and I understand that somebody has to be, and we were willing to put up with the thumping and doors slamming, but our next door neighbors were also having a screaming match from at least 7pm to after 9:30pm. We finally went to the front desk to see if there were any other rooms available. He claimed they were fully booked but he did call room 206 and the screaming finally stopped.
I stay in a lot of cheap hotels and motels, but the Rodeway takes cheap to another level. I recommend literally anywhere else.

Definitely impressed with the cleanliness as it was an older hotel. Was a little put off by the safety glass between us and the front desk clerk; a sign on the front door telling us to lock our car (they were not responsible for loss) and having to sign an agreement to pay a $50 fee for leaving \"blood\" stains on anything! We stayed at several hotels that surround this one and no other had even one of those warnings. IF I had come from out of state that would have scared me, but it is the least expensive hotel in the area and perhaps that attracts less respectful guests. The room was nice and had a refrigerator and microwave. The towels were white and unstained and so were the sheets. I like that the floors were laminate, not carpeted. It was quiet and the beds were comfortable but the curtains were not light blocking and the parking lot is very well lit so it was hard to sleep with that much light coming in all night (a mask would have helped). That said, I would stay there again mostly due to the price, location and cleanliness.

The room was pretty nice for a budget hotel I have to admit. The bed was very comfortable too! The guy that checked me in at night was very pleasant and even though he was a bit hard to understand with his accent. Plus, I was a bit tired, so that probably didn’t help any.
The spout in the shower needs to be fixed too but that wasn’t a big deal. I’d say a 4/5!

For the cost, it guess you get what you pay for. The staff was friendly and professional. They required a $50 security fee which was refunded after they inspected my room when checking out. No problem with refund, just never have had to pay a security fee at a hotel before and checking my room before refunding my money felt weird, like they were suspicious of me. Also, no in room coffee which surprised me and helped to make my stay very unpleasant. I requested an accessible room and got one equipped with a shower chair which was great. But then realized they had a fixed shower head when there should have been a hand held one. Made bathing my disabled son difficult because I had to use a small drinking cup to rinse him off. Very frustrating. Also, in my room, the sink area was separate from the shower/toilet area. That made it difficult for the one person to get ready at the sink while the other slept in. The room was clean but the bed and pillows were uncomfortable and I woke up with a headache. For the price, I guess it was okay, but I will not return and will pay more somewhere else for better comfort.

Don’t book if you have kids!!!!!!

The agent that checked me in was very disrespectful and seemed racist. He was upset that I had booked a King bedroom for myself and my 3 little children who were with me, which was an honest mistake not informing them that the room would be for Myself and 3 kids… as a single mom, I did assume that would not be a big deal… but when the agent realized I had my children with me… he immediately called me in my room and began to speak to me in a very demeaning tone… He told me I booked without informing them I had 3kids who would be with me, which was true… however, when I realized what I had done, I asked him what he wanted me to do and he did say we could stay, but then proceeded to scold me and say I better make sure they don’t leave any stains on anything… To be honest, I felt like I was being profiled… single black mom with 3 kids, she won’t be able to keep them from making a mess…The way that man spoke to me had me scared and hurt and uncomfortable. I immediately wanted to leave but because we had travelled 4.5hours from Cleveland to Michigan for the Puma sponsored basketball my eldest son was playing in. We were tired and I was overwhelmed and overstimulated already to say the least, only to be reminded that I just may not be a good enough mom. I say I hope that never happens to anyone let alone someone who is battling with anxiety depression and self esteem issues. I ended up checking out the next morning cutting my 2 night reservation short and booked at Best Western

I didn’t have a problem with almost everything but something happened that made me not like my stay. I came in with three suitcases and I had booked a floor on the first floor but when I got there, I couldn’t get that so I said fine, a top floor is fine. I have to bring those three heavy suitcases up to the room by myself, I was up and down the stairs three times and each time I had to reopen the door. Same thing happened when I was supposed to leave. No one even offered to help me. Very disappointed.

The heat didn’t work in my room, until the next day when I checked out. I asked the front desk for help and was told “it just works”. There were cricket hairs all wound up a couple of the towels. The pillows smelled liked sweat. The tile floors were nice until the people above my room were partying all night with shoes on. No sound barrier wall to wall. I could hear my neighbors on the bed next to my room and a baby to the other side. If you’re looking for sleep, get a priced hotel. The price was great and it matched the quality. P.S. don’t look under the bed.
