“Great cheap hotel in 1950s”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Location is not bad, close to downtown. Hotel is a very old style motor court hotel from the 50s.

Bathroom is miniscule, smaller than any hotel bathroom I've ever seen.

Towels were paper thin, really not much better than paper towels. They were also filthy. Gray with stains on them that hadn't been washed out. Really disgusting.

The hotel obviously hasn't had a guest with an electronic device. The only grounded outlet is in the bathroom. I had to plug my laptop in the outlet in the bathroom to charge it. Other devices- phones, wireless headsets, iPads, etc. all had to be plugged into the bathroom outlet.

I guess you get what you pay for. This is pretty cheap for a downtown hotel- for a reason.

3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012

Used this motell as just a stop off between flights and basically it's good value for a cheap price, nothing fancy at all, rooms were clean and decent. Staff much more helpful then often the case in this standard of hotel and this always makes a stay more pleasant!

4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2011

stayed here for 2 days, my 3rd time here,it is a good value no frills hotel located near the gaslamp district (great nightlife).and easy safe walking distance even late at night. the breakfast is not great very basic but for me that is not a great issue.there is a room safe for an extra fee but i was not charged this on this occasion.

“A good value hotel in Downtown San Diego”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 October 2011

The Rodeway is located a few blocks north of Broadway, so fairly central and within easy walking distance of the Gaslamp District and Horton Plaza.

The room was large and comfortable. The only problem with it was that on the second day I returned to my room to find the door ajar. This must have been left like this by the housekeeper. Fortunately nothing was missing.

It's an inexpensive place to stay with a central location, Balboa Park and the zoo are not far away and can be reached on foot.

“Complimenting a Staff Member”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2011

people found this review helpful

This is not intended to be a full review but, importantly, to pass along my sincere compliments regarding the excellent service provided by ANISA TRIGG, Front Office Manager at this location. Throughout my 8-day stay she was always informative, helpful, good-humoured and attentive to all my needs and concerns.
Her assistance and professional input were especially appreciated when I asked her to book me into my next stop -Las vegas. She turned what could have been a trying experience into
a and easy smooth transition. You have good staff everywhere and ANSA TRIGG exemplified this standard of service at the highest level!.
