I stayed once and it was ok. I probably would've given a 3 star rating, you get what you pay for. I came back and I was refused a room because the worker apparently "recognized" me and unfairly accused me of smoking in the room. Smoking pot was implied. I did no such thing, but he wouldn't even let me say anything. Since he had gestured in the general direction of the room I had stayed in and stated a room number, I thought he actually recalled my stay. Flabbergasted, I left only to realize he had stated a different room than I had stayed in. My conclusion is that he mistook me for someone else. I guess all minorities look alike to him (he was so adamant!) and that made me more upset than the fact that I had to seek shelter elsewhere in the middle of the night.

The Holiday Inn Express costs more, but is clean and very professional.

This Rodeway Inn is one of the few options when staying in the Beaumont, Banning area. It has a limited number of rooms. It is farther from the freeway than America's Best, which is where we stayed last time and it was awful. The room is very adequate with two beds, a frig, microwave and coffee maker. The workmanship in some of these lower priced motels always mystifies me. Who would but a light plate on crooked? But that was a small concern.

Overall, the room was clean and relatively quiet. The bed was very "springy" in that I could hear the coils clank, but it was firm and comfortable. The pillows were nice. The management was kind and helpful and let me check out a few hours late without a hassle.

For the money, for someplace to rest and move on, this was a good choice.

I have stayed at this motel a couple of times, as it is exactly 1/2 way between San Jose, CA & Tucson, AZ. It is surrounded by pretty mountains, snow-capped in the winter, & the temperatures are much cooler than in the Palm Desert just to the east. The motel is always clean & well maintained, with a nice pool. The rooms are large, with dorm fridge & microwave, ironing board, well-stocked bathroom, extra bedding, etc. The sound proofing is quite good, so you don't hear I-10 noise, 'though there is some tooting of train horns at night. Beaumount has plenty of shops, but has a small town feel. The manager & his wife are friendly & helpful. Breakfast is served in the morning, so you can be ready to head out on I-10 for Joshua Tree, Palm Springs, or other points in Arizona, or California. The price is very affordable, with a few dollars savings on the internet, esp. for AARP & such. I highly recommend this gem of a motel. -Laura

I want to thank our host Bob, the manager. We really enjoyed our stay and will definately stay again when we come next month! The service was great, the rooms are very clean, and Bob was extremely helpful and kind. I'm definately coming back!!
