    The room was not very clean, bed was fine but floor had not been vacuumed in the area, was still food particles along dresser and when shut the bathroom door could tell from the dust behind door floor had not been cleaned for sometime. We stayed 4 nights and stairs going up from office was very dirty and had not been cleaned the entire time there. Wish I would have taken photos to send.

    It was fairly decent price

    Victoria. She breeds more training on policies

    Neal was amazing and attempted to correct everything we experienced with Victoria. He offered to help with luggage and were super friendly.

    Below average- place looked seedy, even though the room furnishings and carpet was nice.

    Same reason as above was the most important. Not enough toilet paper for a 3 night stay. Caulking around the bathtub is poor and paint all over the bathroom trim, which is not a big deal, but is just a poor look and makes the place look seedy. However, it was clean.

    There was no breakfast available, even though it was advertised as having breakfast. Covid is not a valid excuse anymore, as the other hotels were serving breakfast. The coffee machine broke down, so we didn’t even have that. Breakfast available is part of the reason we booked at this hotel.

    Check-in time was at 3pm. When I went to check-in, the front desk associate wasn’t even in the building. I’m assuming another employee or trainee who wasn’t able to login to the computer at the time, (didn’t have credentials to check in guest) stated that the guy “went to go pick up a child or family member really quick and would be back in 20 minutes”. I gave him almost an hour just to be sure he was actually there when I showed up the second time. When I arrived, I asked if they needed the booking number from the app. He said no, just your name. After my ID was verified, they then asked me how I’ll be paying for the $150 deposit for “incidentals”. I then stated that I’ve already paid for the room, and the only reason (stating non-refundable) is because I was confident that there was no “incidental deposit required”. I have looked up numerous hotels on the booking.com app and have read every single “policy” or “information about the hotels” that I was potentially looking for that SPECIFICALLY didn’t state they had a deposit required. As 98% of the hotels listed, somewhere somehow they CLEARLY stated if there was a deposit required and how much it was. I told the guy at the front desk that I was never made aware of that, and that Roadway Inn was the only one who didn’t have the requirement of a deposit stated in anything, not the app, not the website, not even their own website! He then started to tell me that the app I used is “just a 3rd party app, we have people break stuff, steal towels all the time, and trash the rooms, the 3rd party app doesn’t send us money to clean or replace anything.. just barely gives us enough for the room” and proceeded to go on about how the local people in the town basically ruined that for everyone. Because once they started asking for it, they got less people staying there”. He said they take cash, credit or debit. Then said most people pay with a credit card, and we don’t charge it, we just authorize it”.

    It's dirty, ghetto, rundown, & outdated. Plus our shower water ran cold the night of our stay & the morning we checked out.

    The staff are friendly & welcoming, they worked with me the deposit amount & payment method.

    Dirty bedding carpeting is loose on the floor almost fell. Heater was broke filter light was flashing smelt very bad. Found cockroaches on the night stand in the morning. We got our stuff together and got the heck out of there. Went to the front desk and the manager stated we spray every month 🤢🤮. Will never stay at this place again. Then they charge you $150 for damage deposit like really clean up the damn motel then maybe you can charge the deposit. This is a complete joke. I canceled my next two nights with them and will be going to somewhere that looks clean and cozy. Oh don’t try go go there late you end up standing outside with your luggage until the worker wakes up and come to the front door. Never again this is a no star motel in my books.

    Lack of handicapped rooms.

    The staff were very friendly and helpful. They could use a few more handicapped rooms but the facility was clean and functional. What made it exceed was the staff. They were absolutely fantastic.

    A lot of people just hanging out in parking lot. Didn’t feel safe. The room did no look as if it had been cleaned. Stains on bedspread and the carpet was very dirty with spilled liquids.

    It was close to WalMart

    The lobby and room were disgusting. This was the nastiest hotel I’ve ever stayed at, the microwave looked like it hadn’t ever been cleaned, there was hair all over the bathroom, the toilet needed cleaned badly, the carpet hadn’t been vacuumed in who know how long… After entering into our room I began crying and we left to stay elsewhere.
