I didn't even get to check in because they require a cash deposit of 300 dollars for people that live in Nebraska, and I did not have 300 cash, I had a credit card that she refused. No where in their listing do they say this is a rule. The lady at the desk says when you complete the listing you agree to abide by their rules. How can I agree to unknown rules? She claims hotels. com will not let them put that info in the listing but that is a flat out lie. I will get my money back from hotels. vom or I will do a charge back and have my financial institution take care of it.

The staff was very good, and the room was very nice, but it was very very cold in the room, the floor was freezing. We cuddled up in bed. By morning it was a little better. I did not shower,,,,too cold.

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!

Room was musty and the property was dirty and run down. Then they stole my $100 deposit for some makeup that was on a bath towel. Ridiculous. Will never stay there again.

I was worried checking into the hotel since it is a more economical option, but everything was clean and worked and we had a good night of sleep. The front desk staff was very friendly. There was no breakfast that I could find even though it said there was on Expedia. There was just coffee. Also something near to the hotel makes a weird high pitched noise in the morning, like aliens are about to come haha. Overall I’m happy with the whole experience considering the price.

My room was paid for, and they didn't let me in because I had lost my driver's license and credit card. Imagine, driving cross country, losing your wallet and having Rodeway Inn saying that I couldn't stay.

AC/heat was good. Great shower! Good service. Hot water available, but no breakfast (because of the low price we ate a great breakfast at Woodees Cafe just down the street!). :-)

Worst Place To Stay. Definitely not worth $308.

This place was THE WORST PLACE I HAVE EVER STAYED IN. Never again. The web page and pictures are very misleading. I felt like I was sleeping in a trap house. Very disappointing. When I contacted Hotels.com there wasn't anything they could help with, and yes I booked through Hotels.com. $308.For the worst 2 nights ever. I'm not even joking, when credit is due I will definitely give it. This place definitely doesn't deserve it. I booked for 4 people and only 2 bath towels and they were even stained with who knows what. Like I said definitely would not recommend this place at ALL.

The office door was secured around the clock, which is quite convenient. The staff were exceptionally friendly, making the check-in process a breeze. However, the parking lot was in poor condition. Our room key was malfunctioning, and we needed assistance from the staff to get it open. I even cut my finger on the inside door handle, so exercise caution. The room itself was relatively clean and had a tolerable smell. Unfortunately, the air conditioner was extremely noisy and didn't function very well. The shower was unstable and appeared as though it could collapse at any moment. The beds were old and sagging spring mattresses, leading to an uncomfortable night's sleep. You truly get what you pay for.

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.

It was fine for an inexpensive overnight stay. The "free breakfast" was a bag with water bottle, banana and cereal bar. We booked two rooms that were adjacent but not connected but that worked out well in a shared recess. Bed was not super comfortable but that was more my body's fault, not the bed. The staff recommendation of "Shoemakers Restaurant" was a good one

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.
