The manager in the office , her name was stephanie, she lied and said that I damaged towel and that I stole towels, and I told her I gave it to the maintenance lady and she said she don't have proof when I told her to them. And she charged me $75 out of my $100 deposit and I don't find that right. Someone needs to get on

Classic mid-grade SoCal special. No frills. Soap and shampoo are about the same quality as county jail. Rooms are small. Check in staff was accommodating and nice. The pool looked good. We didn't go in as it was raining a lot and chilly. The bed was comfortable. As long as you're just looking for a crash spot with low ambience aside from a centerpiece pool..it's a good spot.

Parking was safe,. The room smelled stale, bit was extremely clean. Used my air freshner. The air conditioner/heater was right by the first bed. I slept in it. So, I would get hot , then cold. My Family in the other bed, were comfortable. If possible, maybe put medium soft pillows in some of the rooms. My pillows were extremely hard. I had to punch it down the middle, so i could sleep. Both check in/out Representatives were friendly and accommodating. I would recommend Roadway Inn to someone who is staying a short time in or around Santee. ☺️

I can’t stress how good this hotel is every time I stay here. Love the location; many dining options in the area and it’s safe. Friendly staff, good housekeeping cleaning crew. I wouldn’t recommended the roll in shower rooms unless you have a disability. Those rooms are tailored more towards people with disabilities with the low bed and shower without tub. Nevertheless, hotel is amazing.

My friend and I were traveling to San Diego to visit her son in the hospital. We chose this hotel because someone had mentioned that they felt safe there. It's true, we absolutely felt safe during our stay. Everything was well maintained and quiet. The front desk staff were very kind. The rooms were well insulated from noise, and we were by the pool.
Although I don't need it, I was happy to see that they have a pool lift to help those with disabilities enjoy the pool.

The location was near stores and restaurants. However, the front desk woman was not suited to customer service as she was downright crabby and irritating. The front desk was poorly attended. We went to check out at 10:00 a.m. and no one was at the front desk to check us out. We had to drop our key in a drop off window. Also, this was an old cheap motel with popcorn ceilings, a faucet too short to reach the sink which caused water to be all over. E en though the counters and furnisings were updated, I would not choose this place again.

In the room: old rug, the bed covers both had lots of burn holes on them. The room was in the back of hotel dont get a room back there. People where hanging out in there cars smoking pot. Theres no security in the noght at the hotel. Felt unsafe for a bit.

I can’t do too much complaining since hotel price is very reasonable and met all of my needs. Many food options within the area to choose. Would be nice if there was something more than coffee provided in the morning. Also, if your room is near the street side, many emergency vehicles will pass by and can be disturbing but not as much disturbance in the back. If you’re looking for a decent hotel on a budget, this is a good choice. You get what you pay for and it accommodates all your needs.

Great location. Walking distance to several restaurants. Rooms are on the small side but with fridge and microwave. Plenty of hot water for showers.

I was very surprised by the bed quality. Overall, the room was clean. The bathroom was also surprisingly clean. Tub white. I think they just remodeled the room because most of the room looked new. Regardless, you can't beat it for the price point!

Hotel accommodated all my needs for a good low price. Area had decent dining options not too far away and area seemed safe. Would be even better if there was a small breakfast in the morning but they did have coffee. I am a happy customer and would be returning as long as the price remains low.

Would recommend

Somewhat low price for S Diego, but quite satisfactory. Great shower. Fridge, microwave, TV cable, clean carpet that doesn’t turn the soles of my feet black. Nice lighting.

Great location. Not close to freeway so I dont have to listen to freeway noise all night. Large parking lot so I dont have to worry that if i get back late, there wont be a space available. Rooms are clean and beds are comfortable. Linens are changed every day if thats what you want. They respect the do not disturb door hanger and will not enter your room if that is what you choose as well. I stay at the Rodeway often and am very happy doing so.

Overall, clean room with almost everything you ne

Nothing fancy, but everything you need a good rest and sleep. Very clean bathtub and toilet. Comfortable bed ( comforter could be better). The room had a mini fridge and microwave, table, and chairs, TV, but no hair fan ( not good). Overall, clean room with almost everything you need for short stay.

Check your bill

My biggest concern was being charged for three night and not two. Still hoping to get that rectified soon. I usually pay when we make the reservation. This time I opted to pay when we arrived. I have been assured that the 3rd night will not be charged but at the moment 3 nights are showing on my credit card.

The room was clean, bathroom had clean towels, everything was fine and there was a little pool with little palm trees in the middle of the complex giving Melrose Place vibes. It wasn't melrose place but it was quiet. Of coarse if you go close to the road you hear the cars, or people coming and going enjoying their stay, in the room you dont hear anything. Beds were decent and clean with clean sheets, blankets and pillows!
