Rodeway Inn US: Your Unexpected Getaway Awaits!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the Rodeway Inn US: Your Unexpected Getaway Awaits! – and believe me, it is unexpected. Forget pristine brochures and glowing hotel reviews riddled with marketing speak. I'm going full-on, warts-and-all, “this is how it actually felt, man” kind of review. Let's get messy, let's get real, and let's see if this Rodeway Inn is a hidden gem or a slightly tarnished penny.
First Impressions: The Accessibility Angle (because everyone deserves a getaway!)
Right off the bat, accessibility is super important. I'm not independently checking every single spec, but I'm scanning what's said. This is crucial, because a 'getaway' isn't a getaway if someone can't get there. The good news is they say Facilities for disabled guests are available. Hopefully, those facilities are actually useful. The Elevator is listed, which is a fantastic sign. (I've been in hotels that claim "accessibility" and then shove you into a tiny room on the fifth floor… the irony is not lost on me). They state they have a Car park [free of charge], and Car park [on-site], so that's a plus! And Car power charging station, which is a seriously modern addition. Accessibility score, pre-experience: Tentative, but hopeful. I NEED to see it in action to be totally thrilled.
Cleanliness and Safety – Because COVID Still Exists (and so do germs!)
Okay, let's get real. The pandemic has changed EVERYTHING. And Rodeway Inn US, bless their cotton socks, seem like they’re trying. They list:
- Anti-viral cleaning products: Good! But are they really using them? The devil is in the details.
- Daily disinfection in common areas: Tickles my fancy.
- Hand sanitizer: Excellent. Essential.
- Individually-wrapped food options: Smart.
- Physical distancing of at least 1 meter: Okay…ish… depends on how busy it is.
- Professional-grade sanitizing services: Sounds promising.
- Room sanitization opt-out available: Very thoughtful .
- Rooms sanitized between stays: Standard now, thankfully.
- Sanitized kitchen and tableware items: Good.
- Staff trained in safety protocol: I hope so!
- Sterilizing equipment: Again, details, details.
Cleanliness & Safety: The Real Deal
- How do I feel about all of this? A hopeful cynicism. I'm an optimist, but I've been to places that say they're following protocol, and then… well, let's just say I've seen cleaner gas station bathrooms. I'll be looking for clear evidence of these practices. Maybe I can request a room being sanitised and see it. Safety score, pre-experience: Cautiously optimistic.
The Rooms: What's Your Crib Like?
Alright, let's talk about the actual living space. This is where it gets granular. The basics are there:
- Air conditioning: Essential, unless you're into feeling like a baked potato.
- Alarm clock: Hopefully it works.
- Blackout curtains: HEAVEN. Especially after a long journey or a hard day of relaxing.
- Coffee/tea maker: THANK YOU, HOTEL GODS. Need my caffeine fix.
- Desk: Good for work (or just spreading out your stuff).
- Free bottled water: Always appreciated.
- Hair dryer: Necessity.
- In-room safe box: Smart, for peace of mind.
- Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Wi-Fi [free]: Okay, good. Double-check the speed, though. Hotel Wi-Fi can be the bane of my existence.
- Ironing facilities: Useful if you care about looking presentable. I could use a use.
- Mini bar: Could be cool, could be overpriced.
- Non-smoking: YES. PLEASE.
- Private bathroom: Of course.
- Refrigerator: Great for chilling drinks and leftovers.
- Satellite/cable channels, On-demand movies: Entertainment options, bonus points.
- Seating area: Good for relaxing.
- Separate shower/bathtub: Luxury!
Room Thoughts:
- Am I expecting luxury? Nope. Am I expecting it to be clean and functional? Absolutely. I'm imagining a room that's perfectly adequate, but hoping for a pleasant surprise.
- Room Score: Moderate. Potential for good if well-maintained.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Fueling the Machine
Okay, fuel is essential. Let’s see what they offer:
- Breakfast [buffet]: I love a buffet.
- Restaurants
- Room service [24-hour]: I love this.
Eating and Drinking, The Details:
- This is where the Rodeway Inn US could really win me over. Good food can make or break a trip. I'm hoping for at least something edible. The buffet better be clean and replenished!
- Food & Drink Score: Needs more information. Potentially good, potentially dire.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
So, beyond sleeping and eating, what else do we get?
- Cash withdrawal: Handy.
- Concierge: Useful if they’re actually helpful.
- Daily housekeeping: Excellent.
- Elevator: Excellent - again.
- Facilities for disabled guests: Again, important.
- Laundry service: A lifesaver.
- Luggage storage: Useful.
- Safety deposit boxes: Nice.
Extra Services and Conveniences:
- This is the area where a hotel can go from "meh" to "wow, they thought of everything!".
- Services/Conveniences score: Good potentially. Could be a highlight if they offer thoughtful extras.
Things To Do, Ways to Relax: The Getaway Factor
Here lies the true heart of a vacation! They list:
- Fitness center: Okay.
- Pool with view, Swimming pool [outdoor], Swimming pool: Great! But is it as nice as the pictures promise?
- Spa/sauna: Maybe? A sauna would be a massive bonus…
Things to do/ Relax – The Hopeful Angle:
- I want a relaxing journey. A pool is awesome, but I'm keeping an eye on that sauna. Now that might make the "unexpected getaway" actually live up to its name.
- Relaxation Score: Promising, but depends on the actual conditions.
For the Kids: Family Friendly?
- Babysitting service: Potentially helpful.
- Family/child friendly: GOOD.
- Kids meal: Nice.
- I'd assume they're doing some kids' activities, which I'm thankful for!
The Unspoken Things That Matter
- The Vibe: Is it friendly? Is it a bit anonymous? Does the staff seem like they actually care? This is a huge factor. A smile can go a long way!
- The Noise Factor: Location, location, location! Are you near a busy road? Do the walls actually block out sound?
- The Unexpected Annoyances: Leaky faucets, flickering lights, slow elevators… these things can really grind your gears.
- The "Wow" Factor: Is there anything that surprises you in a good way? A hidden gem? A particularly comfortable bed? A stunning view? They better have something!

Turkey's Palm Club: Paradise Found? (Your Dream Vacation Awaits!)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, cuz this ain't your grandma's itinerary, and we're definitely not talkin' luxury travel. This is the Rodeway Inn Rumble, the saga of my recent… adventure across the glorious, and sometimes questionable, American landscape.
Day 1: The Arrival & The Roach Whisperer (Rodeway Inn, Somewhere, USA)
- 1:00 PM: Arrive at the Rodeway Inn. Okay, "arrive" is generous. More like, crawled out of the car after seven hours of pure, unadulterated boredom. Found a parking spot that wasn't directly under a streetlight. Victory!
- 1:05 PM: Check-in. The receptionist lady had a name tag that read "Brenda," and a look that said, "Honey, I've seen things." She handed me the key with a sigh that could curdle milk.
- 1:15 PM: Room Inspection (aka, the "Would-I-Catch-Something-Worse-Than-The-Flu?" Tour). The bedspread: a questionable floral pattern featuring what might have been vaguely identifiable as things. The bathroom: smelled faintly of regret and disinfectant. Oh, and there was a… friend. A tiny, shiny, six-legged friend. I made a strategic retreat to the parking lot, for a few minutes, just to gather my thoughts.
- 1:45 PM: Back to the Room: Okay, deep breaths. I’m a cockroach-loving enthusiast, even if I’m not excited to share my room with them. This is going to be a battle, for space, for dignity, and for the remaining remnants of my sanity.
- 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Attempt to unpack. The desk was at a weird angle, the chair was precariously balanced, and the lighting? Well, let's just say it wasn't exactly conducive to a sunny disposition. Spent a solid hour contemplating the existential dread of unpacking in a place that might not even exist tomorrow. Decided to embrace the chaos and just chucked everything on the bed. My life philosophy is, "Why be organized, if you can be interesting?"
- 4:00 PM: Snack Run. The vending machine promised "snack-tastic" delights. Reality: stale corn chips and a bag of something that might have been pretzels. Refueled my existential dread with enough salt to kill a small mammal.
- 5:00 PM: Found the local diner, because, diner is more exciting than a hotel. I saw that Brenda was the waitress at the diner, and she knew everyone's orders automatically, it was kinda spooky but also really comforting. I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich and fries, which, let’s be honest, was 100% the right choice.
Day 2: The Road Less Traveled (and Definitely Not Paved)
- 7:00 AM: Wake up. Or, rather, un-wake up. Had a dream about the roach. Woke up, and I swear I heard a scuttling sound. Nope, it were my nerves.
- 7:30 AM: Hotel breakfast. Cold, rubbery eggs, and a "hot" coffee that was lukewarm at best. Ate the eggs anyway. "Embrace the Struggle," as I like to say.
- 8:00 AM: Check out. Brenda just nodded, a knowing look in her eyes. She knew. We had a bond now, me and the cockroach, and her.
- 8:15 AM: Driving time. On the road! Cruising through the endless expanse of… well, something. Saw a field of sunflowers, which was pretty. Daydreamed about owning a little yellow cottage, filled with books and the gentle scent of… something.
- 10:00 AM: Random roadside attraction. This time of year, it’s all of the tourist. Decided to go anyway. It was weird, a little overpriced, but also kind of wonderful.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch. Found a greasy spoon diner off the highway. Had a burger and fries that were so good, I almost forgot about the questionable bathroom situation earlier.
- 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM: More driving. Started to get lost in thought. Thinking about the meaning of life. Thinking about why I chose to do this trip. Thinking about how bad the radio reception was.
- 4:00 PM: Stopped at a weird little antique store. Found a vintage hat at a great price, bought it.
- 6:00 PM: Arrived at next Rodeway Inn. This one was slightly cleaner. Small victory.
Day 3: The Unfolding of a Story
- 9:00 AM: Today's itinerary is flexible. I am flexible. The world is flexible.
- 9:30 AM: Ate a continental breakfast in the Rodeway Inn. The waffles had a slightly plastic taste.
- 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Driving.
- 12:00 PM: Found a quaint little cafe in the middle of nowhere. Had some soup which was very nice. Decided the plan for the rest of the day was to wander.
- 2:00 PM: Wandered by a thrift shop, and found a cool jacket.
- 4:00 PM: Saw a sunset, and it was breathtaking. Reminded me that even in the darkest Rodeway Inns, there's some color left in the world.
- 6:00 PM: Found an outdoor music show, and the night was lovely.
Day 4: The End?
- Sunrise: The ending of the trip is in sight. I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand, a warm bed and a real bathroom are definitely tempting. But, on the other hand, I have met some interesting people. I learned to trust the road. I have grown.
- Morning: Breakfast, which was the same as always. Left a good tip for the woman who was working the room, because she was still there.
- Afternoon: Heading home.
- Evening: Thinking about going back already.
So, there you have it. The Rodeway Inn Rumble. A messy, glorious, slightly terrifying slice of life. Don't expect perfection. Do expect the unexpected. Most of all, get out there and live. Even if "out there" happens to be a questionable motel room with a six-legged acquaintance.

Rodeway Inn: The Unfiltered Truth (Prepare Yourself!)
So, you're thinking about a Rodeway Inn, huh? Buckle up, buttercup. I've been there. I've *lived* it. Let's get real about this… adventure.
Is a Rodeway Inn actually… *safe*? Like, should I bring a baseball bat?
Okay, let's address the elephant in the room: safety. Look, I'm not gonna lie. The answer is… it varies. I once stayed at a Rodeway in Albuquerque where, and I am not kidding, someone tried to sell me a *parrot* at 3 AM. A friggin' parrot! I declined (I’m rubbish with birds). But was I *scared*? Yeah, a little. The guy seemed… dedicated to the parrot's freedom (or my wallet's emptiness).
Generally? Most Rodeways *probably* aren't harboring diamond smugglers. But common sense reigns supreme. Lock your door. Don't flash your cash. Maybe mentally prepare a “no, thank you” that extends to parrot peddlers. My gut? It's probably fine, but I'd rather not be the star of a true-crime podcast. Consider reviews! Read EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. Especially the recent ones.
What’s the *vibe* at a Rodeway Inn? Think "luxury resort" or... something else?
"Luxury resort"? Honey, no. Unless your definition of "luxury" includes a faint whiff of stale cigarettes and the dulcet tones of the vending machine humming a slightly off-key tune at 2 AM. Expect… character. Expect stories. My personal favorite was the Rodeway in Vegas (yes, Vegas!) where the decor appeared to be an early-90s fever dream of neon and floral patterns. The carpet was, shall we say, *distinctive*. I swear, it moved slightly under my feet. I like to believe it was just telling me, "Welcome to the dream, pal…"
It's… utilitarian. Functional. A place to sleep, shower, and ponder the meaning of life (or at least why you're in this particular geographical location at this particular time). Don't go expecting the Ritz. Go expecting… an experience. And embrace the chaos. Or at least develop a sense of humor. You'll need it.
Are the rooms clean? Please, be honest. I'm a clean freak.
Okay, *deep breath*. Cleanliness? This is a gamble, my friend. A gamble. It's that sort of "clean" where you *might* find a rogue hair from a previous guest clinging to the corner of the bathroom mirror, but there’s an unspoken agreement to overlook it. It’s like, “Well, it's *mostly* clean, right? We’re all adults here. We can handle it.”
My advice? Bring some Clorox wipes. Lots and lots of Clorox wipes. And a certain degree of… flexibility. Learn to love the "character" that dust bunnies bring to a room. I once found a mysterious stain on a bedspread that was too intriguing to clean. I just... avoided it. Consider it part of the adventure. Pack a portable air purifier. It's a game changer, believe me.
What about breakfast? Is it a continental feast of champions?
"Feast of champions?" Hah! Okay, the breakfast situation at a Rodeway is usually the stuff of legend… and not necessarily in a good way. "Continental" usually translates to: stale donuts, questionable instant coffee, and a pile of individually wrapped (and possibly ancient) breakfast pastries.
I’ve seen some truly epic breakfast buffets (and by epic, I mean hilariously disappointing). Hard-boiled eggs that could double as projectile weapons. Waffles that looked suspiciously like plastic. A toaster that, given enough time, *might* toast something, *maybe*. My recommendation? Stop at a grocery store the night before. Get yourself some real food. Treat yourself. You deserve it. Pack a whole breakfast to-go bag.
Okay, so other categories! Can I bring my pet?
Generally? YES! Rodeway Inn usually *does* allow pets. That's a major plus, right? But! Always call the specific location BEFORE you book. Rules change. Charges *may* apply. You don't want to arrive with Fido only to find out he's suddenly persona non grata. I once showed up with a particularly fluffy cat and spent an hour arguing about the definition of "pet." (I did win).
Also, be prepared. Pet-friendly doesn't always mean "pet-luxury." Think about bringing your own blankets or toys. And clean up after your little buddy! It’s common courtesy, and helps them stay pet-friendly. You want other humans and their pets to be able to relax; don't be *that* guest.
What kind of amenities can I expect?
Ah, amenities. This is where things get… interesting. Wi-Fi? Probably. It might be slower than dial-up, but it’s *probably* there. A pool? Potentially. Might be green. Might be closed. Check the reviews! A gym? Maybe a treadmill in the corner of a room that also serves as storage for old pool noodles.
Think “essentials” and you won't be disappointed. Think "extra perks" and you *might* get a pleasant surprise. The best Rodeway I ever stayed at (and yes, that’s a compliment) actually had a hot tub. It was clean! It was warm! It was a godsend after a long day of driving. But don’t plan your trip around amenities. Plan around the *experience*.
Okay, let's talk about that *one* specific Rodeway experience you'll never forget. Spill the tea!
Alright, fine, you twisted my arm. There’s one Rodeway Inn, *one* experience, that stands out above all the others. It was in… ah, let’s just say a town that rhymes with "Snooze-ville". I booked it because it was cheap. Desperate times, desperate measures, you know?
The moment I pulled up, I knew I was in for it. A flickering neon sign, a parking lot overflowing with… characters. The front desk attendant looked like he’d seen a ghost (or maybe just the last ten years of motel clientele). The room? Oh boy. Think… a brown, slightly fuzzy, shag carpet. A bed that dipped in the middle. And a view of… a dumpster.
But here’s the thing. The *real* story? The *sound*. It started at 3Find That Hotel
