I was worried checking into the hotel since it is a more economical option, but everything was clean and worked and we had a good night of sleep. The front desk staff was very friendly. There was no breakfast that I could find even though it said there was on Expedia. There was just coffee. Also something near to the hotel makes a weird high pitched noise in the morning, like aliens are about to come haha. Overall I’m happy with the whole experience considering the price.

The room was clean and comfortable. The shower was fantastic, nice hot water, excellent pressure. Easy room access, not so easy street access. Office didnt open until, i think it was 3 pm, though, which was slightly inconvenient for my stay that particular day.

The office door was secured around the clock, which is quite convenient. The staff were exceptionally friendly, making the check-in process a breeze. However, the parking lot was in poor condition. Our room key was malfunctioning, and we needed assistance from the staff to get it open. I even cut my finger on the inside door handle, so exercise caution. The room itself was relatively clean and had a tolerable smell. Unfortunately, the air conditioner was extremely noisy and didn't function very well. The shower was unstable and appeared as though it could collapse at any moment. The beds were old and sagging spring mattresses, leading to an uncomfortable night's sleep. You truly get what you pay for.

This is located in an industrial area. I can’t say it was unsafe but it felt a little unsafe. Room was clean and staff very nice. Breakfast was a granola bar, applesauce, and a bottle of water so that was a little disappointing.

For a quick overnight, it was really easy. However, we were in Nebraska during the 90+ temperatures, and the room was hot (maybe 80) when we got there at 11pm. It never cooled down, despite the A/C on all night (it was on when we got there, but I'm guessing not for long, as it wasn't cool). That made for a poor night's sleep...and we had a long drive the next day! The breakfast was a sack-lunch affair with only a few items (which we kind of expected, but my gluten-free spouse couldn't eat hardly any of it). Good for a night, and the bed was nice! Just wish it was cooler.

No Breakfast Included :(

Well, you get what you pay for - unfortunately I paid for a cheap hotel that had breakfast included - at least as posted on Hotels.com and there was nothing for breakfast except coffee and tea. The water pressure and hot water was good in the shower, so that was decent. Nothing special, a place to sleep.

BASIC motel, no amenities like Kleenex’s, coffee pot, pillows are size of bag of marshmallows. The room was fine, bathroom needs some LOVE. Nice tv and comfy beds, except for pillows, clean and accessible. On our way to Lincoln, received call telling me I needed a $200.00 cash deposit to stay at facility, if I had not been driving, I would have canceled reservation. However when we arrived, the young lady at desk said nothing about deposit and neither did I. The caller said since I was from state I needed to pay deposit!

The Rodeway inn was sufficient for a quick nights sleep, for a break along a long drive cross country. The shower worked fine, the room was clean and beds comfortable. I would like to give a special mention to the staff. I mistakenly left behind a sweater in the room; they called within 10 minutes of leaving and I was able to return and get it. Thank you!

For a reasonably priced hotel this place is fairly nice. I've stayed there 9 times under three ownerships and these people are the best of them. I could have used another bar of soap, but other than that the towels were fresh and the bed was nicely made every day (5 night stay). This was my second stay under this ownership.
