Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Front desk was not staffed, so I had to check in at Quality Inn. Upon walking in, the room smelled musty. There were two bugs on the nightstand that I used the notepad to smash immediately. I found a roach on the wall behind the mini-fridge and another one crawling by the phone on the nightstand right next to the bed! I couldn’t bring myself to sleep in that room so I went back to Quality Inn and got transferred to a room there. I would not recommend!

Christine

Disliked: Cleanliness
No batteries in the TV remote. Phone cord came disconnected from the hand set when I tried to use it. Phone was not plugged on the wall. Black mold in the bathroom. Hundreds of dead bugs in bathroom light. Towels, etc thin and scratchy. My husband's shoes stuck to the tile by the sink. The chair and furniture were old, worn and dirty. The refrigerator was leaking inside and left a puddle outside on the carpet. The carpet was the worst I've ever encountered. I wore a pair of plain socks after my shower and the bottoms were sticky and black after wearing them for less than 1/2 hour. I had to go to the desk to the room made up. I think she implied the beds were to be made only. I insisted that the sheets must be changed (which they were eventually). I will tell everyone I know to avoid RODEWAY at all costs. Revolting!
