The room was clean and spacious. The hotel is undergoing a total renovation, so there were boxes and materials all around. I was on the ground floor and they had not renovated the ground floor yet. The only “bad” thing was the entrance driveway had huge potholes. This hotel will be wonderful when completely renovated. I’m just happy to have a clean room and comfy bed.

Currently under construction, so not all amenities are available at the current moment, but this hotel is great for if you just need a safe affordable place to sleep. Massive sturdy building. Probably a great place to be if there was a tornado. Every staff person i have encountered was very kind and helpful. Would recommended to anyone traveling on a budget. Good value for the price.

Hotel under remodeling, lobby, swimming pool, sitting area, hallways, everything under construction and furniture to be install all over the place. We did not have access to any advertised amenities inside the hotel. What Expedia promoted was not even close to what we found. We got very late at night and checked in , when we realized all was a mess was too late. The room was new installed and remodeled but so dusty everywhere, coffee maker was dusty. I see the project and the remodeling will make a great hotel, but not now when the floors are dusty and in the middle of construction. I want my money back. Stop offering this hotel until you are sure is ready to host travelers.

We had made reservations to stay at the Rodeway Inn last night, June 13th. 2026. We showed up at 10:00 p.m. And the entire hotel was dark and it didn't look as though anyone was in the lobby or the parking lot. So we had to go find another hotel. I want to make sure that I am not charged for this stay because we were not able to get into the hotel. I understand that because of the power outage and the tornadoes that this may not have been possible, but we were not ever told that we were not going to be able to use our reservations.
