Rodeway Inn Carson - Los Angeles South Reviews

We stayed here before our cruise, looking for a hotel that was under the $200+++ prices in Long Beach. This hotel was only about 15 minutes away from the port. Very basic and budget. When we checked in, we were surprised to find the office closed. We had to ring an outside bell and wait for the manager. It looked to be family run, and I could smell food cooking in the back. Once greeted, check in was friendly and efficient. The hotel is very small, with 2 floors and only 2 staircases. All entrances are from the outside. My suitcase was quite the workout to get up the steps, lol. When we checked in there were no bottom floor rooms available. The room itself was quite large, with 2 queen beds and updated bathroom that had granite countertops. It had a very musty smell from the air conditioner by the window. Lots of wear and tear, beds had soft sheets but hard, springy mattresses. There was an upholstered chair and an office chair. The upholstered chair was in bad need of a cleaning. There is no closet, and no coffee maker. The room did have a microwave and refrigerator. On the good side of things, the motel was in a safe area, close to a mall with an IKEA. The pictures you see on the website are close to the way it looks, but there is lots of wear and tear. It’s ok for 1 night.
