Terrible stay

My husband and I ended up not staying at the hotel at all. The front desk person was great but the room itself was disgusting and unsafe. The blinds were completely broken and we caught a person looking in. I would like my money back but I know that wont happen. The room smelled like chemicals so badly we couldnt be in the room for more than a few minutes.

My stay at the Roadway Inn!

This is my second year staying there the only complaint I really have is the mattress on the bed could be more soft. I did wake up with my back hurting. Other than that I have no complaints, I enjoyed my stay last year and I enjoyed it this year too.

The place is ran down very bad. Rooms don’t match what you pay for. Free breakfast was advertised but the whole area is ran down and no breakfast served. All ice machines are down. Rooms are very dated. Not to mention the surrounding rooms have traffic in and out all night with the smell of drugs all around you. Don’t recommend for a family vacation for sure. Don’t waste your money on this place. It very well has the potential to be a nice place but as it sits it’s not even a 1 star hotel.
