Rodeway Inn North

The absolute worst hotel ever. Walked in room smelled like pee. Told girl to come in and smell. .well of course she didn’t smell it. My nose and throat were burning. Asked for refund. wouldn’t give only 15% disc. Also 1 person working desk didn’t have our key waited 20min to get checked in .stay away !

OK, so I needed some peace & quiet the other day, so I ddrove myself up to the Rodeway and booked myself a room in which to read, write, and relax. One word: AWFUL!
The first room I was in had no hot water and the toilet seat was broken. Delightful, no? Well, being a big-​mouthed New Yorker transplanted to the Lone Star State, I requested another room. Guess what? The second room had holes in the sheets! (I’m not smart enough to make this up, believe me) OK, I can deal… I’m only going to be there overnight, right? Well, guess what? I went to take a shower in the second room, and… yup, sure as hell, no hot water! Another phone call to the desk, and ultimately I got enough of a warm drizzle to shower.
So this little adventure cost me $ 50, and on top of the water and hole-​y sheets I had to contend with a belligerent and argumentative desk clerk, a dingy room in fairly poor repair, and the smallest, crummiest towels I’ve ever seen. No wash cloth, BTW, just a small hand towel and VERY small «bath towel»…at least I’m guessing that they considered it a bath towel.
Nasty staff, crappy rooms, and no hot water… my advice is to not waste your money here. There are plenty of hotels along the IH-​35 strip, and another Rodeway down hear UT. Go anywhere but here!

I made the mistake of going to this place against my better judgment. I took a shower and the moment I pushed the shower curtain aside I noticed a big cockroach in the top right corner of the room above the mirror! I was so disgusted I quickly got myself ready to check-​out. When I went to the manager and told him he offered me another room. I told him I don’t want another room since you can’t be sure it’s free of these disease spreading creatures. I told him I wanted a refund and he complained that he couldn’t do that. Then I mentioned to him «look I’ll pay for using the shower if that makes any difference to you» He then asked for my credit card and walked away without saying a word. A few minuets later he returned with a credit that amounted to me paying around $ 26! I mentioned to him that’s an expensive shower and all he could say was that he offered me another room and I refused. BTW for what it’s worth it was room 211. It should be illegal to operated a business in this condition… maybe it is?
Anyway since it was late and most of the motels/​hotels were booked up because of hurricane Ike I ended up at the Econo lodge nearby of US-​290 E. Cost me more but at least I wasn’t sleeping with filthy roaches.
