Parking was safe,. The room smelled stale, bit was extremely clean. Used my air freshner. The air conditioner/heater was right by the first bed. I slept in it. So, I would get hot , then cold. My Family in the other bed, were comfortable. If possible, maybe put medium soft pillows in some of the rooms. My pillows were extremely hard. I had to punch it down the middle, so i could sleep. Both check in/out Representatives were friendly and accommodating. I would recommend Roadway Inn to someone who is staying a short time in or around Santee. ☺️

I can’t stress how good this hotel is every time I stay here. Love the location; many dining options in the area and it’s safe. Friendly staff, good housekeeping cleaning crew. I wouldn’t recommended the roll in shower rooms unless you have a disability. Those rooms are tailored more towards people with disabilities with the low bed and shower without tub. Nevertheless, hotel is amazing.
