For a reasonably priced hotel this place is fairly nice. I've stayed there 9 times under three ownerships and these people are the best of them. I could have used another bar of soap, but other than that the towels were fresh and the bed was nicely made every day (5 night stay). This was my second stay under this ownership.

The Rodeway inn was sufficient for a quick nights sleep, for a break along a long drive cross country. The shower worked fine, the room was clean and beds comfortable. I would like to give a special mention to the staff. I mistakenly left behind a sweater in the room; they called within 10 minutes of leaving and I was able to return and get it. Thank you!

The room was clean and comfortable. The shower was fantastic, nice hot water, excellent pressure. Easy room access, not so easy street access. Office didnt open until, i think it was 3 pm, though, which was slightly inconvenient for my stay that particular day.
