i agree that the town of sundance is totally dead- there's nothing to see or do there. i think the main reason people might stay there is if they are visiting devils tower national monument, which is a great site to visit. if you go there, be sure to hike on the loop trails to really experience the park. otherwise, the only reason to stay in sundance is if you're travelling along interstate 90 and need a room for a night.
the rodeway was an acceptable place to stay- no worse than any other economical motel chain. my room was quite large and very clean. the furniture was sturdy and clean- it included a table, chairs, drawers, queen bed and expanded cable tv. the only dirty thing in the room was the airconditioner. but what was really strange is that the room had no closet or hangar rod or anyplace to hang clothes. don't know if all the rooms are that way!!
there was a large indoor pool and hottub, laundry and ice machine. a brochure in the room said that breakfast was served at 6:30 a.m., but a sign in the office said that it was served at 8 a.m., which is when they put out the cold cereal, juice and small muffins. i suspect they do it at 8 because most travelers have left by then, so they save money. i think it's inconsiderate of their guests to serve breakfast so late- other chain motels serve breakfast by at least 7 a.m.
overall, i think it's an ok place to stay and it was cheaper than other area motels.
