Rodeway Inn Salem Northgate

Absolutely the worse hotel I’ve ever stayed at. I’ve stayed at some seedy hotels before, but Rodeway Inn in Salem is by far the worse. My “trip” started off with the manager cancelling the room during check in because I questioned the $50 deposit. Instead of him explaining it, he just cancelled it and told us to go talk to our bank and we’re not welcome there. I had already paid online via Hotels.com. I called customer support and they called the hotel and the manager lied and said he never did that, and we were welcome to come back. Sadly we made the choice to come back. Black mold on the shower ceiling, shower door seal, and around the shower trim. Dirty smelling beds and bedding, and soap scum on the sink. The white painted pocket door to the restroom was black from dirty hands and wasn’t cleaned. Don’t get me started on the pool. There was literal human poop floating around the drain in the bottom of the pool. We notified the front desk and they said they’ll let someone know. But they never closed the pool down, or told anyone. We checked out the next day and it was still there that morning and clearly hadn’t been cleaned. The whole experience was horrible. The room smelled like something gross was cooked in the room before we got there, possibly an Indian Rice dish based off the overwhelming smell. I would never stay there again. Even if I had no other hotel choices, I would much rather sleep in a rose bush in the rain than even walk on the parking lot there.

Pool was closed. Bed was hard. Key kept needed to be programmed.

Do not stay here, terrible. Riff raff outside, front desk man was horrible, condescending and angry. Pool was not available and room was absolutely disgusting. We found food molding in the refrigerator and a toothbrush in the bathroom from the previous guest. The walls were filthy with dirt and bathroom door would only close halfway. We left immediately as it was disgusting and we feared for our safety at this hotel.

Room was ok for the price. Pool was very loud and room a little dingy. Toilet clogged and they had me come get my own plunger. No breakfast at all.

There were dirty hand prints on the walls and brown stufff running down the walls. No fitted bed sheets the beds and pillows were awful.
