Great value for low budget

Mom and I were on an outlet mall shopping trip. All hotels were booked except for the expensive ones. Was a little skeptical of this one at first, but gave it a try considering positive reviews. Turns out, this 1 star hotel was a great deal. Nothing glamorous, but it is clean and I felt safe. Breakfast was also pretty good

Good V alue For Overnight

For an overnight stay you cant beet the value. The rooms decor reflects the budget price but it is out weighed by the free breakfast buffet at the adjacent restaurant. If I was traveling with children, I would have spent the extra money a better decor.

Should have listened to the negative reviews!!!!

First, I reserved a non-smoking room. This was a joke, I literally gasped for fresh air as the potent toxic smell of cigarette smoke rushed from the room as I opened the door for the first time. It was as if the room had been a smoking room for the past 30 years and they just conveniently changed it to a non-smoking room that day. The pungent odor was just overwhelming! Second, they say no pets are allowed in the rooms, but I could tell animals had been in the room because my allergic asthma, which I have only when around cats or dogs, kicked in within 30 min of being in the room. So the no pet thing is a joke also. Third, after watching the maid one morning from my car in the parking lot, my suspicion that they don't clean the room well between users was confirmed. I watched as the maid failed to change the sheets and only changing the pillow cases. When I first arrived in my room, there was lots of body hair in my sheets from someone else. Forth, the internet in the room is worthless. Half the time it doesn't work and when it does it's the speed of dial up. It constantly drops your connection and you lose your web pages you're working on. Also, if you're a business professional and you're in need of a printer, you're out of luck. They don't have a business room for guests. For a mere 10 to 20 dollars more a night you can stay in a much better motel/hotel without all the hassle that comes with this place. I fully regret reserving this motel and would have found other accommodations if I hadn't prepaid for a package motel/car deal. Lessened learned, I will never stay here again! Do yourself a favor, move on to something better or you may seriously regret it as I have!!!!!

Definatley stay again!

This motel was very nice, clean & comfortable even though it was a truck-stop, off the highway kind of place...The AC worked great, even a bit too good...The queen bed was clean & the bathroom was small yet spotless...Our room also had an ironing board w iron, tv, coffemaker hairdryer, safe...Not bad..It was also nice to have a convenience store within walking distance..(as well as a restaurant, pizza hut/subway & a gas pump) Very basic, but all around nice for a day or two trip...

Not Recommended

Pros: The motel room was clean except for the smell and close to the interstate. Cons: Even though I requested a non-smoking room, it reeked of cigarette smoke. I cannot verbalize how awful this was. In addition, there was no warm water for the shower in the incredibly small bathroom. Finally, I could hear the adjacent room's television for at least an hour while I tried to fall asleep. tl;dr? Spend the extra $30 on a better place or regret it.

Weekend getaway

We were so pleased with our stay at Rodeway. Very, very clean and pleasant room. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves. The restaurant that was just a few steps from our room was very nice. Clean and very friendly staff and good food. Free breakfast buffet was great. Will look for Rodeway from now on for all our getaways.

Shopping in the Erie area is the best. I was shopping for my grandchildren and had so many great choices.

Good Value

I was traveling to Erie on business. The Rodeway Inn is right off the exit, and a great location for travelers from the east. One of the lowest-priced hotels in the area, it had everything I needed in a snowstorm. Good heat, hot water, and a complimentary breakfast at the TA Travel Center. Cheap gas, too. Not very fancy or modern. Not the place I'd vacation with the family, but my priorities were to save time and money, and Rodeway delivered. I'd stay there again.

Decent stay for the price

A bit rough around the edges, but you get a clean room, a neat bath, comfortable bed, and surprisingly quiet stay--despite the "truck stop" atmosphere. Even though I was on the Interstate side of the building, traffic was barely audible--less than many three and four star accommodations. Don't expect friendly customer service during check-in. It's done by whomever is running the cash register in the convenience store.
