Do NOT recommend

The first room they gave us smelled nasty (like mothballs). The next room was not great but didn’t smell as bad. The carpet was nasty (would've dare walk on it barefoot). Across the street was a burnt up mobile home with other mobile homes that were falling apart.

We booked a room at the Rodeway Inn, which is the closest hotel to an ill relative we were visiting. 5/17. -5/23 It was a horrible experience all around. First, our door lock would not open with the key card. The first day we had to call the front desk twice to be let in. The first time I almost felt bad for the guy because we were on the second floor up a horrible staircase. The second time, not so much. Other things wrong with the room (and I have pictures): Knob to turn on one of the lights was missing. You had to try turning a thin metal stick to turn it on and off. Mold in the shower. The hair dryer in the bathroom was broken, had chips out of the plastic, had burned plastic on it as well as being so dirty and disgusting, I felt the need to use hand sanitizer. Rust on the metal tissue box holder. A very “not up to electrical code” three way electrical plug running the coffee maker, the refrigerator, and the microwave. The door chain to our room is missing. It’s not that it doesn’t work or is falling apart. It is MISSING! When I asked if we could be moved to another room with a working door lock I was told it would be $10 more a night if he could but since we booked through Expedia he couldn’t make the change. After telling our TN family members where we were staying, they were shocked and appalled because it is a well known location for drugs. I want to warn people to NOT stay here and I think Expedia should not include the Rodeway Inn on their list of hotels.

Its ok for the price.

Well at 3am i had to switch rooms cause the toilet broke. Then the room they put me in had mildew in the shower, the toilet seat was dirty(lucky i carry cleaning wipes with me), and the bed sheet was dirty. I bring my own blankets. The walls had messes in them that could have be easily wiped up if the cleaning people would clean correctly. Definitely wasnt impress. The breakfast was ok.
