I stayed @ The Rodeway in April 2012 for 3 nights. I travel for business and don't spend a lot of time in my room. As far as my base needs were concerned, The Rodeway was "okay" but it came up short on a number of fronts: The hot water never got more than lukewarm. The ceiling tiles in the... More

All other hotels in area were sold out, BUT NOT this one. Now I know why! Upon arrival, there were sleazy looking people hanging around, some blatantly holding cloth rags up to their faces and obviously taking deep breaths of whatever they were sniffing that day. The room did not have a secure feel to it, as there was no... More

We arrived in Abilene around 12:30 a.m. after driving for 13-1/2 hours - so we were TIRED and just wanted to find a place to sleep! We drove around and saw little in the way of hotels in the area where we were. There were actually only two that we did see. My son read the reviews on his smartphone... More

I truly wish I had read all of the recent reviews of this property before staying here. My high school son and I visited Abilene for him to attend a visit at one of the local universities. All of the recent reviews are true - dirty bathrooms, scary folks outside, no chains on the door, one bed with no blanket,... More

Do not! hold your rooms with a credit card, I made reservations for our ministry team, and because of impending bad weather called to cancelled. The young man who answered stated that I would have to call back after 3pm and talk to the manager. She did not get in until 6pm and WOULD NOT cancel my reservations, saying it... More

Travelled to Abiline for a wedding and stayed at this facility only because it was the accomodation that was arranged for our group. I had read all of the bad reviews and was very nervous about what our stay would be like, but reasoned that since we would not have our own transportation and it couldn't be any worse than... More

Upon entering the door was held together by duct tape and would not the lock. The bathroom had lime buildup in the shower, moldy shower curtain, dirty toilet, dirty sink and counter.

Most disgusting motel ever. Feces left in toilet upon check in, shower dirty with standing water, carpets filthy, wall paper coming off the walls with brown stuff running down the walls. In the room next to mine the guy said he had what he thought was fresh urine and blood on the bed! This was the worst experience ever and... More

DO NOT STAY HERE! The "free full breakfast" is a “bait and switch” lie. We were refused breakfast for 3 of 5 days. We had no useable toilets and no hot water for showers for part of stay. Rooms were dirty. Some amenities were not provided; some did not work. Staff was either incredibly rude or completely indifferent. As of... More
