Rodeway Inn & Suites

This was the only hotel in the area that was not over $250. So I booked the night but soon wished I had either slept in my car or spent the crazy amount for a different hotel. Many things could be said about this place, none good. It was dirty and the smell was incredibility pungent. Just stay somewhere else.

We booked a room at the Salina Rodeway for $63.12. The room had an ironing board and iron, hair dryer, coffee maker. mini-fridge (no freezer section) and microwave. I had a separate vanity area with a self-contained shower and tub. The room was large with a sofa love seat., desk with chair, small table with two chairs and with a large comfortable king. There was password protected free Wi-Fi with security warnings. The building was two stories, but I didn't see and elevator. There was limited but ample off-street parking. The hotel is pet friendly with green space and a walking area on streets. It was conveniently off an exit by Highway 70 with other hotels in the area. IHOP, Iron Skillet and Popeyes are walkable. It is across the road from a Subway and McDonald's. It is near a Petro Truck Stop with 24-hour access to conveniences. The hotel was quiet even though it was near the highway. Breakfast was primarily continental offerings with make your own waffles. The front desk often was not staffed and almost required the need to ring the bell. Ice maker was accessible and reliable on first floor. Laundry was available on site. The room had a slight chemical smell which as aired out quickly. The grounds were generally clean though discards were stored in corners and outside. Front trash can needed to be emptied.

My room was OK. The gentleman at the front desk was courteous and professional. The carpet in the stairway has many stains and tears (rips). I’m wondering if the damage is from pets or from water. I noticed that some signs say that the property is a Sleep Inn and I’m wondering if it changed ownership. Are there plans to renovate the property?

My father contacted front desk and attendant could not tell him proper directions to get to hotel. The drapes were broken as well as the door lock. Hotel is pet friendly and we were greeted by a pit Bull dragging his owner out into the parking lot. My father was greeted by three barking dogs in the morning. A women with 5 screaming kids checked in next door to us. After my father banged on the door and screamed quiet, she attempted unsuccessfully to quiet them. The manager did find us another quiet room on the third floor. The next morning, my father saw the kids exiting the room through the window but at least they were on the first floor for their own safety. The pool was closed and looked full of algae. The yard was not mowed and full of trash. Bon voyage forever Rodeway Salina!

Check in great nice helpful staff. Room was great for the price fridge and microwave spacious room clean and big bathroom. Only thing to say needs improvement is morning staff… we’re none around. Breakfast (no sugar free of anything not even coffee sweetener. And no butter of margarine for the white only bagels and bread. Please add whole wheat, and equal and butter and I will be back. Convenient off exit.

Very friendly staff and clean rooms
