While this hotel is in a convenient location right off the highway near plenty of shopping and dining, the stay was overshadowed by a major lack of transparency. I specifically book hotels that include breakfast to manage my travel budget, and their website clearly advertised this as an included amenity.
Upon arrival, I was told the \"breakfast\" consisted only of hot coffee. When I brought the website’s advertisement to the front desk’s attention, the staff member was completely unsympathetic and dismissive. If you are choosing this hotel for the value of an included meal, look elsewhere. Between the average rooms and the false advertising, it wasn't worth the price.

Cleanness was very poorly. They charger card before you arrive to get the room.Then charge for 50.00 security for the room, which was not on the instructions on their website or on expedia website. No, toilet tissue in bathroom, room smell like cigarettes smoke. The stay was short because it was very poorly all the way around even with the customer service too.

We were the only people stay on this place, it felt like a horror movie. No maintenance at all.The bed was comfy but no comforter, towels were harder than a sand paper all stained, a/c super dirty... horrible won't describe this place.

Nothing whatever to eat in morning; at 8 am a pot of coffee waa just being made.

Our room was clean and housekeeping stopped by every day to see if we needed anything. The bed was hard but there were 2 chairs that were comfortable to sit in. We had a refrigerator and microwave which allowed us to bring back leftovers from Cracker Barrel since the breakfast at the Inn was Little Debbie pastries and a pot of coffee that someone brewed with creamers and sweeteners available. We were also close to Burger King and Chick Fil A so we could easily walk to them as well. The front office was not staffed regularly and was dark most of the time. Overall, the Inn served our needs as we transitioned back to the Tampa area.

Shabby

I don't think I've ever stayed anywhere where the word \"shabbly\" is more appropriate. It was an odd mixture of old and modern. The furnishings were like random selections from someone's attic or basement. Instead of a desk, a large but old table and a chair for which there was no room in front of it. I got a good night's sleep. So there's that. But \"overpriced\" is an understatement. I felt foolish paying about $100 for that. At $20 or $30 I wouldn't complain.

First of all, there's no Sign to say this is Rodeway Inn. Nothing on the building ..a tall faded illegible sign on one side and nothing on the other.
Second... Advertised...Breakfast Included. Breakfast was A sweet roll and coffee.
No juice, no milk No tea... Nothing to drink since we don't drink coffee...
NOT A BREAKFAST INCLUDED.. and that was my only requirement when searching.
Third....No shampoo...No conditioner...No lotion...One tiny sliver of soap...One tiny bottle of unidentified blue liquid..
Fourth...One mostly used up roll of toilet paper...No extra to replace it
No coffee or coffee pot..etc...
I chose Roadway Inn because it was the.. highest rating in the area with breakfast included in the same price range....
It certainly IS NOT

When we arrived couldn’t figure out where to check in as the office isn’t marked. The mattress in the bed was so slanted from people using the side of it facing the door I literally tumbled to the floor in the middle of the night when I rolled over. Had I hit my head on the nightstand a hospital visit and lawsuit could’ve been the result. That mattress should be replaced before someone gets hurt. I’m a senior citizen and picking myself up off the floor was not acceptable!!!

I have stayed here several times. I stay at hundreds of hotels. I usually stay at big name brand double the cost hotels but have been severely disappointed in Ocala. This hotel exceeded some of them. Room has fridge, microwave, large iron board, hair dryer etc . ., Bathroom has exhaust fan which you cannot get in Ocala. They have friendly customer service. They do need different shower heads but they may have these to reduce water since low flow. I like to change shower head settings and there is not an option.

I like that I can enter room without standing in elevator with lots of people. Ur car is right beside your room door.
