My girlfriend and I are LOYAL Choice Hotels reward members and are excited whenever we earn a free room with our points. A last minute travel opportunity came up so we decided to redeem the points that I had accumulated. I usually skip over Rodeway Inn completely when searching, but it was the only place we could stay for free. The reviews I read were SPOT ON so I was prepared with my own towels and cleaning supplies. The office staff was very friendly and helped me gain info about things to do in the area. The hotel itself, however, needs a lot of work. The parking deck is so small, it feels like you will hit the ceiling. Only one car can use the deck at once. Our room was tidy, but the pillows were stained, there were exposed pipes overhead and the bathroom had an odd smell. This place was close to the strip, but pails in comparison to the hotels around it. Before using the bathroom, I cleaned it throughly with Clorox Clean-Up, which turned one of the bathtowels purple! The Wi-Fi connection worked well as well as the television. There is also no alarm in the room and no one avaiIable to make a wake-up call until 9:00am when the office is opened up again.I am willing to give this place 3 stars only because I stayed there during the off season. Otherwise, I would be a lot less forgiving.
