What guests think

At Rodeway Inn Dalton South, reviews describe a budget stay with friendly staff and some quiet nights, but mixed cleanliness and very dated rooms with wear, odors, pests reported by some, and occasional service lapses or maintenance issues.

Several guests found it convenient just off I-75, though the immediate exit offers few dining options and one reviewer struggled to find the property. Basic in-room amenities like a fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and sometimes an iron and hair dryer are common, and many considered it acceptable value for a one-night stop. Expect a no-frills stopover where experiences can vary.

DO NOT STAY HERE! ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE! Bugs on the counter! The room STANK! Linens were old and gross. Floor boards were so warped you stub your toes! And they charge crazy pet fees and watch you like a hawk on the camera system to make sure you have as many as you say you do! Prison lights and cameras outside everywhere, too bright even with curtains drawn. Lobby smelled disgusting too! Absolute worst hotel stay we ever had and were only there 6 hours to crash and take a shower. Horrible, horrible, horrible. Save your sanity and find a better place up the road and pay a little more. This place is like being in a third world country with big brother watching your every move!!! I wouldn't be surprised if there was cameras in the rooms too!! Keep away from this place!!

The person working the front desk got me checked-in and checked-out quickly and cordially. The room I stayed in was clean and there is a large surveillance system right at the front desk, so no one can get away with intruding this hotel.

This is actually a GOOD review, given the price point. Staff was excellent and friendly. PROS: had iron, fridge, hair dryer, microwave and coffee maker! CONS: Trash outside was overflowing. NEUTRAL: It is an older property, and thus shows some wear and tear. CONCLUSION: Well, I stayed there once, and came back a second time, so that is a good sign. For a cheap, quiet, one-night stay, it is a bargain!

It was a cheap motel so i didn’t expect much more, but the peeling wallpaper and scuffed everything and a door that’s locks seemed like a good push would open…. The whole room felt dirty, even if it wasn’t and then when i ask for a first floor room i’m given the only one that you have to walk up a flight of stairs to get to. There was clearly very few guests but i was put in a room on the side of the building where i had to listen to semi trucks pulling in and backing up and pumping their breaks all night. It was a pretty miserable night. But the staff was nice.

Price was very low so not much complaint but: The entrance door had a 1/4 inch gap under it, leaking air and who knows what could come in. The room and shower were poorly lit. A great place to get some sleep and shower but don't expect it to be perfect. Shower was hot, towels good and bed clean and sundries provided like shampoo , soap and even coffee.

The rooms are incredibly antiquated and not very comfortable. The floors need to be replaced. The decades old carpet is nasty and could use an LVT Upgrade. Nothing expensive, but it would add a lot to the decor and the cleanliness. The noise in this place was ungodly. Not so much from the traffic on the road, but the other guests made it miserable. The room was either way too cold or way too warm, the air conditioning system is way out of date.

There were two of us staying for 4 Nights,, the sink was dirty with hair, the two outlets that did work were barely functional. We had one roll of toilet paper so had to Walk to the office in the freezing cold to request more and more pillows bc there were only two. The Card KEY didn't work when I had hot to go food in my hand trying to get into the room so instead I had to walk back to the office for the fourth time as an inconvenience. The first night we were there, I had to again walk to the office in the freezing cold to request more batteries for the remote control for the TV because it didn't work. When I checked out, there was nobody in the office and I had questions to ask. Everything in the room is outdated, dirty, or doesn't work. The front desk lady was very kind. After all of the inconveniences and disappointments, I would only stay here again if they gave me two complementary nights to make up for the first stay. Now I know to pay a little extra simply for convenience and cleanliness at hotels/motels. The location was great though because it was the only Hotel on the exit in the interstate is 30 seconds away and one exit away from Dalton

Location

Just off I-75 and one exit from Dalton, the setting is quiet or secluded with few restaurants at the immediate exit. One reviewer found it difficult to locate and truck noise affected a stay on one side of the building.
