The room was clean, however it was rather outdated. The mattresses were very old, sagging in the middle old. The air did not keep up very well, there were gaps around the door where you could see daylight through, but was over 90 degrees outside too.

I am not sure if I would stay again or not.

Almost nothing worked—the door had no functioning deadbolt, the TV wouldn’t turn on, the shower dribbled and the A/C rattled and groaned loudly. The WiFi was weak and the doors and walls have holes. Other than towels and a tiny bottle of shampoo, this place lacked any amenities. The only good amenity was the proximity to Dunkin Donuts.

First entry into my room was a musky smell, next was the many several different types of hair on my bed (pet, long, short, grey, blonde and brown. None of which were mine.). I was given two of the flattest pillows ever and my towels were all stained with various specs of yellow, tan, and red-ish. The table was extremely flimsy but given the door to my room was a key that didn’t fully lock, I used to barricade my door for the night I was staying.
Staff were nice as I only interacted with them for check in and check out, but this place needs to be cleaned properly! Do they even bleach clean the sheets or towels because what I saw said no!

Here’s a cleaner, laid-back traveler version that still keeps your honesty:

⸻

Oh boy… we booked this motel based on the reviews—lots of “excellent” ratings and people saying how clean it was. That wasn’t quite our experience.

I will say, the woman at the front desk was great. She was kind and did her best to help us, which we really appreciated.

The place itself is very bare bones—definitely more of a last-resort type of stay. In the first room, the bed had been made, but the sheets clearly hadn’t been changed. There were stains and even hair in the bed. (I always check the bed first thing, and it’s honestly surprising how often this happens.)

We went back up, and she quickly moved us to another room. That one had clean sheets, but the AC/heat unit was so loud there’s no way we would’ve been able to sleep.

At that point, we decided not to stay. To their credit, they gave us a refund with no hassle.

Overall, I’m not trying to sound high-maintenance—it just didn’t meet basic expectations. This is definitely a place you’d only consider if you’re out of options… and even then, you might think twice.

This place is awful!! There was large red stains in the bottom of the tub (hoping it wasn’t blood). Couldn’t change rooms because they were booked (but we were the only car in the driveway). Several parts of the front of the building are hanging and falling off. Furniture is dirty and stained. Non smoking room smelled so much like smoke I actually got a sore throat. Bath towels the size of hand towels and so thin they barely dry. Staff extremely rude and unwilling to help. They close the office at midnight so don’t forget or lose your key, need to check in late or need any service. They are not available AT ALL until the next morning. A few restaurants within a reasonable drive. Honestly surprised Expedia does business with such a low quality place.

After getting into the room ( the door was stuck) we tried closing the door and it didn't want to close. The dead bolt didn't work at all. The air conditioner made so much noise we had to shut it off to get any sleep. we went to bed around 10:30 PM and were awaken at 11:15 pm to our car alarm going off(along with other car alarms)--obviosly attempted break-ins in the parking lot. No sign of office staff coming out to investigate. Finale review of this place. Horrible... it should not be on the list of hotel/motel choices.

Worst nights sleep ever

Room looked nice but this was the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept in. I’ve tossed and turned all night because it hurts to lay on one side for very long. My chest and back hurt. A sleeping bag on the floor may actually be more comfortable. Each room is only allowed 2 pillows, but they aren’t even full sized so my wife and I had to fold them in half for support. I’m writing this at 4AM because I can’t sleep and I’m only upset because we don’t leave for another 3 hours. Would sleep in my car before I came back here.

Why didn’t anyone contact us to let us know? And the beds were hard as a rock. My friend’s door didn’t close at the top. Looked like it had been kicked in at one point. Kinda scary.

Every Rodeway Inn I’ve stayed in has been undesirable. The outside property is never maintained. The rooms look cheap and have dated decor. The whole place looks unloved and uncared for. Affordable sometimes means lesser quality. At this particular property my toilet handle was broken. They fixed it within minutes. However, that likely means housekeeping didn’t clean & sanitize it after the guest before me, ewww, yuck. Great location. Close to dining, retail and recreation. There is a Mexican restaurant, Dunkin, Starbucks and a sports bar within walking distance.

This place is rundown, dirty, and bordering on a \"do not stay.\" The door to outside would only close halfway, the sheets had black long curly hair on them and blood drops, the bathroom had crust around the edges and the ceiling tile was detached and hanging there. There is obscenities scratched into the hanging rack, and the floors had coins, dust, and debris all over. This place is a stay if you're alone and only sleeping there for a quick bit. Definitely not a place to bring family, or a group. And definitely not worth more than $20 or $30 a night.

As far as budget hotels go; this is a very nice affordable & pleasant stay. You get what you pay for so consider your expectations. A bed and shower, small 'frig. simple cable and easy access to room. Clean and friendly accommodating staff. Truly wonderful staff. The shower is due for re-grout/tiled but otherwise in good state - very clean. Note you will experience some hwy noise and traveling workers in and out. Don't stay here if you want a fine breakfast, pool, & hot tub. Great for a recharge before hitting the road or when ur spending most of your time away from hotel exploring local attractions.

Called the front desk and they told us they had one other room but it was an up charge. So we paid extra to be moved in the middle of the night to a room with working sir conditioning. We were also required to pay a $100 deposit when we arrived that will be refunded in 3-4 days. A deposit for a complete dump! Everything was in disrepair.
