    The pilllow case and the shower in the bathroom were a little bit dirty, someone's long hair was hanging on the wall of the shower. But the price was reasonalable, and I would stay again if I visit venture again. Overall, it's a decent stay.

    Check-in was easy and check out was easy, good location and easy access to food and restaurant.

    I was a little disappointed with the clock on the Dish cable TV being off so the programing was goofy.

    I think I met the owner at check-I and we had a wonderful first conversation. I have not taken the opportunity to talk more with him as both of us are busy with our own things to do.

    No deadbolt on a door that doesn't close fully, some weird burns on the sheets and also stained, laundry is also stained. The bathroom wasn't clean properly and some of the stuff given in the room had been used. TV is impossible to use.

    Does the job for one night only

    It’s in need of a lot of renovation; and it appears management is working on it. But still a way to go though…

    We just needed a place to sleep overnight; and didn’t want to pay more than $100 to sleep a few hours. Rodeway Inn fit the bill. Cheap and cheerful. We weren’t interested in any extra facilities; just needed a bed to lay our heads on.

    This place would be amazing if they can mop the floors at least once a week. My feet were black with dirt after having my socks off for 5 minutes. Also could use some wall scrubbing. Also would like a way to lock the windows. And would be even better if the bedsheets didn't have cigerette bruns in them. Their gotta be a way to sort out smoking and non smoking room sheets.

    I liked the bed softness, the parking, and the adorable cats outside.

    The room needs some Tlc. But mostly noisey loud neighbors that stayed up most of the night. Just loud and obnoxious. Bed was comfortable. But did not get much sleep.

    I had a very disappointing experience at this hotel. The room we were given looked nothing like what was shown online. There was no dresser or closet to hang clothes, no luggage stand, and the bathroom was poorly equipped — no hooks for towels, no fan for ventilation, and an overall lack of basic comfort features. The room wasn’t soundproof at all; there was a large gap under the door letting in light, sound, and even outside air. There was no nightstand with a light, which made the space even less functional. What’s worse, this was the better of the two rooms we were shown. The first one was even worse — stained shower, no bathroom furniture, cigarette holes in the bedsheets, and walls that desperately need a new coat of paint. Both rooms had a strong, unpleasant bleach smell that didn’t go away. I’ll never stay here again and would not recommend this place to anyone. The reality is far from what they advertise, and it was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had.
