I only stayed 2 nights and had to switch to 3 different rooms. Walked into bathroom area and floor was flooded. Bathroom floor, floor outside bathroom and tub were filled with at least 1” of sewage water. Called front desk and she said she would send maintenance guy and switch my room. Had to pack up all my things and drive to other side of building. Brought all my things in new room. Walked into bathroom and tub was filled with feces and water. I called front desk again, now aggravated, and she said she needed to come and look. Like I’m making up the fact that feces and water is in the tub? I told her how absolutely disgusting and inconveniencing it was to now have to get all my stuff and move to a third room. Her only response was well if it was my hotel I’d do things differently. There was never a single person at reception desk entire time I was there. I had to check in and out at hotel reception next door. Very unsatisfactory visit and I will not be returning.

Of course this is an older property, but the mattresses were in EXCELLENT condition. It's probably not a choice for a vacation stay, but for a night or two off the road it was fine. The hotel is immediatly east of Interstate 75 at exit #384. It's just one exit away from the Univ. of FL. My car's navigation could not find it. The property is reached by turning south and up the steep road between a vacant Shell station and the 43rd St. Deli.

Would not Recommend
The lady at the front desk was rude when I checked in. The room was filthy. Everything was dirty. Refrigerator & microwave didn’t work. 2 outlets in room. 1 bed sunk in the middle. Toilet completely moved. Towels just filthy. Will not stay ever there anymore.

Although checking in went very smoothly, and my room was accessible as advertised, the floors in the room were filthy! I took a shower while there, only to discover that the soles of my feet were absolutely black, just walking from the shower to the bed. I'm sure this room does not receive as much routine use as the standard rooms, but it definitely needs to have a general cleaning at least twice each week.

I liked that the hotel was quiet, safe, and pleasant place. I did not like that the room was very outdated with old carpet and furniture. It needs to be updated.

It was a convenient place to stay in. However the floor of the room was not carpeted. It was covered with tile which was cold and sticky. One of the window drape had stain spot. Management need to supervise their cleaning employees to make sure they do their job well. If the place is not clean the customers will not come. Rectify that problem and your customers will be happy.

It was the same price as the quality in next door which is run by the same management, but much more rundown. The maid hovered around my door for over three hours which was totally weird and made it impossible for me to work in the morning. When I called and asked a late checkout the girl at the front desk practically kicked my door in while I was in the shower. Not comfortable, waste of money and the staff is trash.

Disappointed.
The room was in a poor condition with need of updating. Cupboard doors falling off, security latch on the door falling off and the handle on the bathroom door just about hanging on. I've stayed in 10 motels on my current trip and this was by far the worst.

Not even worth the low price
Very noisy both night, the people in the room next had the TV going most of the night, shouting often, about 3 am it sounded like they just got in from a bar and were loud with yelling and laughter. The bed was NOT pillow top as in the listing and was very uncomfortable -both beds, slept in one the first night and the other the second night. Didn't make much difference. The towels were very coarse. The continental breakfast was a mini Little Debbies Swiss roll or a mini cinnamon roll. - Yuck! The shower curtain looked like it was ten years old (dirty and worn) The chair at the desk was so bad I took a pillow off the bed to make it more comfortable. I have stayed at "cheap" motels for the same price that were in better shape. It is managed by the Quality Inn across the parking lot, but I have stayed at that Quality before and they are so different you would never know that they had the same management. Next time if the Quality is fully booked I will go elsewhere even if it isn't as convenient

Disgustingly dirty worst place I’ve ever stayed at! The noise or traffic was loud, the smell of a non smoking room smelled of smoke, towels were stained as was the bedspread and carpet. I was exhausted and couldn’t drive so I stayed but I would have been better off sleeping in my car at a rest stop because I barely slept.

Don’t Stay at Roadway Inn Gainesville
Checked in went to room door was dirty open Ed door room was dirty, refrigerator was rusty microwave had never been wiped clean smear marks on it , I came to Gainesville for chemo and radiation for my partner the room was unsanitary and we didn’t stay went to desk asked for refund she said a week before you get your money. I contacted hotel. com and was told I Wouldn’t get a refund! I think that’s a terrible way to treat someone who is struggling with stage 4 cancer, So what ever do don’t book with them ,We found the Hilton Garden Inn and they were very happy to have us I hope the owners of Rodeway Inn read this and feel terrible for what they’ve done keeping money that’s not there’s
