It's definitely an older hotel but it's clean and comfortable and affordable. Definitely a great savings compared to others in the area. We spent two nights. I read all the other reviews and I agree don't expect the front desk person to have a charming personality. He is straight to the point and doesn't tolerate any bad behavior at his property. Another thing we didn't see any bugs and didn't wake up with any bites another plus. There is some minor mechanical challenges with several things it's a older hotel. After our first night we felt very safe and had an enjoyable stay. We will definitely be back in the future.

Very clean and modest motel. The staff was kind, especially the housekeeping department! The location and motel are very quiet and offer simplicity, a nice escape from the hustle and bustle of life. The bed was extremely comfortable and we will definitely return when staying in the area again!

The hotel is simple but very clean. I have stayed in other more expensive places that were dirty. the staff / owners were very kind and helpful. The hotel is family run with pride. Location is close enough ~1mike to the interstate which was good for us and there is no noise at all.

Very good place to stay when visiting your kids in college! Rodeway Inn is clean, affordable, and super close to campus, which makes trips really convenient. The staff is helpful, and it’s a solid, no-fuss option for college visits.
