“Bed ridden one too many times by poor college students”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2010

Chose to stay here for two reasons - price and the fact that they allowed dogs. Location was great - directly across the street from Idaho State University which is extremely dog friendly. Spent time walking around the campus during the evening of our check in and the morning of our check out. Dogs loved watching the squirrels run up the trees. Now to the hotel - obviously old. Price was reasonable but room smelled and the bed was the worse that I've slept in for yearl..... No joke - my feet were higher than my head. The bed had been pounded so much over the years that I would have slept better on the back seat of my truck. I figured the clerk knew the condition of the hotel because he didn't even ask how stay was when I checked out in the AM. Next time we're in Pokie, we'll pay more and stay in one of the other hotels that allow dogs.

“Cheap hotel, toilet flooded, staff responsive, you get what you pay for”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2010

We stayed in this hotel during two trips from the Pacific NW to Arizona via Pocatello. We chose it because it was easy to get to off the freeway and the price was right (under $60 for two adults in a queen nonsmoking room). The first time through, in April 2010, we had no complaints and had dinner at the next-door Elmer's restaurant. Breakfast at the Rodeway is free and consists of waffles you make in their waffle iron, cold cereal, milk, OJ, and bagels. Our second time through, in August 2010, our toilet started flooding immediately, and we had to walk over soggy carpet to move our belongings out and to the next room. We noted damage to the carpeted baseboards, but otherwise the rooms were decent. My recommendation is qualified: It was a typical motel-style, $55 room. Don't expect too much. But we felt safe, and the front desk staff were very welcoming and nice.

“Get what you pay for here...except the nonworking internet”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2010

Free high Speed internet access....if you are lucky enough to pick up the signal from the pancake house next door. The internet provided by the motel drops out about every 30 seconds, just after it connects. the staff was friendly, and tried to accommodate me by moving me to another room to try to get a better signal, but more of the same.

“I probably wouldn't stay again”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 July 2009

The Staff were really nice. But the room was kinda musty, they may have just shampooed the carpets. The room could of used some more vacuuming and when I made the mistake of moving the bed a little, there was garbage behind the headboard (Not to mention the dirty tissue left on the nightstand) Coulnd't tuen on the fan in the bathroom as it made the worst loudest noise ever. We were only staying overnight on our way to Yellowstone, so the price was good and so was the free breakfast, but on my next trip I might spend the extra 10-15 bucks to spend the night in one of the many newer motels they have in town
