Rodeway Inn

I stayed here for 2 nights. Photos displayed on the website are an entire lie. Bed was nice, very comfortable. Other than that, the place was horrible. We stayed in room 118, and the first thing I was greeted by were bugs flying around the room. We had no toilet paper in our room. The bathroom was dirty and the floors were sticky. The wifi was a disgrace, "high-speed internet" I think not. We had limited cable channels. They must've only booked us for 1 night because an employee came into our room on our 2nd day and said, "Are you supposed to be in here?" Later, 1 of the lightbulbs above the sink went out. On the evening of our 2nd day our room card stopped working, so we had to walk to the check-in and get a new one. Theres many people out late at night smoking aswell. Leftover caution tape hanging on the stairway. I would've rather slept in a ditch than stayed here. Rodeway Inn? More like Rodekill Inn!

We stayed here five years ago, and the place was in dire need of small repairs, such as the curtains were falling off the walls by their hardware, threadbare carpet, etc. There was a homeless family working on making a new start in life that were staying as well. It was the overall atmosphere of desperation that struck me and I felt compassion for the dire situation things were in. You could stay here a week and have enough material to write a John Steinbeck novel. Well, based on fresh photos on the website we booked another stay this past week. However, the minute I opened the door to the room I knew that nothing had changed. The broken lampshade, the oversized bedspread dragging on the floor, the rumpled curtains, the dubious cleaning job of the toilet, the lack of hair dryer and hangers, the worn out flooring, the walls needing fresh paint....it was all so sad to see. I wanted to take the workers on a quick shopping trip to Kmart for paint, lamps, curtains, bedspreads. We canceled our stay. I'm not sure why things aren't nice. It must be hard for the workers to have pride in their positions, working with such conditions. I'm advocating for the owner to come take a look at their property and its condition and make major renovations or tear it all down and start anew. It's embarrassingly dismal. The staff were kind and apologized for the condition of the room. We we asked if all the rooms were in this condition, or were there better rooms available? They said no. All rooms were in this condition.
