Rodeway Inn

One of the WORST motels I have ever stayed at. Starting with the foul smell when we walked into the outdated room. The comforter on the bed was dirty. The shower curtain in the bathroom was torn in half. Instead of regular chairs to sit in they used multiple mismatched rolling desk chairs.
Old old tube tv.
The bathroom floor was extremely dirty.
Internet service was non existent and we were told they were aware of it and didn’t know when it would be fixed.
Air conditioner was weak at best and then stopped multiple times. It would turn itself on and off. And no it was not the setting on the machine. Also notified the office of this.
At 5am in the morning when it was dark I stepped outside my door with my card key. I had on pajamas and slippers. My car was parked directly in front of the door and I retrieved the item I needed from my vehicle. As soon as I attempted to re enter my room with the card key it did not work. Here I was standing outside the door in the dark in my pajamas. There was no one in the office!!! There was a note on the door that said go across the street if you need assistance. Their explanation was card keys can become demagnetized. I call BS.
I’m sure I will find humor in this later but at the time it was not funny. Creepy people sitting outside smoking at this time of the morning also.
Continental breakfast hours state 6 a.m.. At 6:10 we went to get coffee and no one was in the office and it was dark.
Do not stay here. There are other hotels in the area at this price point I recommend staying in one of them.

I made a reservation at this Motel for my mother, who was an Evacuee of the Butte Fire in Calaveras County, CA. I booked a room for four nights as we were unsure how long the evacuation was going to last. My 79 yr old mother is also a dialysis patient and the center she receives her treatment is near this motel in Sonora.
The day after I booked the reservation, my mother received word from the authorities that the evacuation was lifted and she could return home. I then tried to cancel the reservation. My mother never even drove into the parking lot of this Motel but we were charged with a $ 93.86 cancelation fee! I contacted
to seek assistance regarding the fee to cancel the reservation. Surely, under the circumstances of the Fire, the Manager would be kind and refund the fee… After several attempts and phone calls, Priceline spoke to the manager of Rodeway Inn and NOPE, They refused to refund the $ 93.86 fee to an 79 year old, dialysis patient on Oxygen, who was a BUTTE FIRE EVACUEE from Calaveras County, CA
BOOOOOOO! Shame on Rodeway Inn for this!

The place has a foul smell associated with it. The sheets were also smelly. The breakfast was very basic. No bath tub. Quiet room. Not worth the price we paid. The free wifi never worked.

I will never stay here again! I originally called the Sonora Inn for a room but they were booked. The lady on the phone was nice and said the Rodeway had availability and could get us a room there. It was a bit last minute and everywhere else I called was already booked so I was very grateful. She never once asked me about a smoking or non-​smoking room. When I got to the room late at night with my 1 year old who was already asleep in the car I had to go across the street to check in at the Sonora Inn. Finally into the room the worst smoke smelling room ever, it hits you before you enter the threshold. I immediately called and found out, that is what I reserved. I didn’t even think to check the confirmation about smoking or non-​smoking. I guess I just assume in this day and age you don’t just get booked into smoking rooms. Anyways she said we could get a refund but it was so late and my son was crying and it made more sense to just get him back to sleep than to try to find somewhere else to stay. We left bright and early the next day. It was not at all worth the $ 110.00. I know that having your kid sleep one night in a smoky, smelly room won’t hurt but I couldn’t help feeling that I was failing as a mother. I have never spent so little time in a room, we ere there for only 8 hours and 7 of those were sleep.

These folks have been renovating and I was pleased when I stayed there for work recently, and will be staying there again. It’s clean and comfortable and it was quiet the night I stayed. It has all the basics so I would recommend it.

Worst place ever I stayed at !

I needed a place to stay on my way home from Yosemite so I did a Google search and this place came up as the «best deal». I cannot recommend this place. I was expecting bed bugs to jump out any minute. Thankfully, no bed bugs.
PROS:
Nice enough staff.
Quiet at night (and it was a Friday).
Slept well (I know. I know).
CONS:
No one was in the office to check in in the late evening. There was a note to cross the street to check-​in in another hotel. That lobby window is not visible to this Inn so it’s not very secure/​safe.
Room looked and felt dirty and smelled really bad of a wet dog (s). Found out later It’s a «pet friendly» Inn. They need to do a better job cleaning if animals are running around the rooms.
Found 4 long hairs in the beds and 2 in the «clean» old towels. Yikes!
OLD shower with no bath. Felt like I was bathing in a dirty Bate’s Motel.
No desk and no alarm clock. Though they claim to have them on their website.
Bed comforter looks dated and that it has never been washed. Had to open the bed and sit on the sheets (after removing the hairs of course). It was gross.
Shady people hanging out smoking/​drinking (expected that of a cheap motel).
Door chain were broken. Like it had been broken by someone busting the door down. Felt like I was in a horror movie. Why wouldn’t they fix this?!?
OH, and no coffee maker. Really?!? So I had to get ready and go get coffee at the front office. I like my coffee in bed BEFORE I get ready btw. Went back to get a 2^nd cup and there was a note on the door saying that they would return later. REALLY?!?
DON’T stay here. Unless you have a dog and don’t care about filthy, smelly rooms.
asked by email that I rate and review this place. They sent me an apology a week later but refused to post my review as they cherry pick reviews to lure people to their nasty motels («inns»). Shame on them. I will submit it again and see.

I rate mostly on how refreshed I feel in the morning, and I was not feeling good at all. The mattress was exceptionally stiff so I tossed around a lot. Next comes the morning shower. There’s a lot of history on the bathroom walls that I didn’t want to see. The shower is a small box of the type often installed in the corner of a guest washroom. These boxes are meant to have a shower head on a hose so that you can bathe with little room to move about. The Rodeway had a fixed shower head, about chest high, where the hose should have attached. Crouching under the shower head without touching the icky wall was a challenge. There’s no coffee in the rooms.
Other amenities: Fridge, intermittent WiFi, pet-​friendly, and there’s no manager around to tell you that you’re an a-​hole for revving your loud motorcycle in the parking lot all morning long.

This place was adequate. We used it as a one time stop on the way to the eastern Sierras. It is true there are no coffee makers in the rooms, but there is coffee and other things in the main office which was open at least early enough for us around 7:30am. The rooms are not much to look at and the bathrooms look a little sad and the shower head is low… but it was all fine. Everything worked, we slept decently, and the front desk man was very kind.

This motel used to be half-​way decent when it was connected with the Day’s Inn. The walls and doors need to be cleaned. We brought our dogs and they went crazy smelling the beadspread, which makes me think it’s been a while since it was cleaned. Ugh! The worst part that really turned me off is that they no longer have coffee makers in the rooms. Had I known, I’d have brought my own. Plus, the lobby doesn’t open early to provide you with coffee. The price might be a little lower than some of the surrounding hotels and inns, but to not have a coffee maker and provide coffee and creamer is a basic I won’t do without. We won’t be staying here again any time soon. Disappointed.

This hotel is a dump they don’t even have people at the front desk for you to check in with.

This is a great location for a cheap motel. We’ve stayed here several times recently while skiing at Dodge Ridge. 5 stars for price, location and front office staff. They are located within easy walking distance of many restaurants, shops and a grocery store. Rooms are older, shower head is low and some rooms are fresher than others so 2 or 2.5 stars for that. However, the low price means we get to ski more times which makes up for a lot. Not sure I’d stay here if I planned to spend hours in my room with toddlers but for families with older kids and teens who are out on the slopes or walking around downtown it works well.
