What guests think

Reviews of Rodeway Inn Harbison Area describe a budget stay with significant downsides, particularly rude or unhelpful service and noticeable property wear, while a few guests mentioned convenient access and acceptable value for the price.

Cleanliness is a recurring issue, with reports of filthy rooms and bathrooms, stained or dingy linens, pests, and trash in rooms or common areas. Some guests said advertised amenities did not match reality, including pool access denied as private and breakfast limited to coffee or unavailable, and one noted no EV charger despite being listed. Safety and comfort concerns appear, from insecure doors and a crime-affected area to occasional noise, though others mentioned quiet surroundings and visible cameras. Expect a very basic stay with notable trade-offs.

People were in the pool but when we went down to get in, we were promptly and rudely told the pool was private. That was the only reason i booked a room at this dirty hotel!

Laundered but stained sheets. App list free breakfast but just coffee. says have EV car charger but LIED. We even called in advance to confirm before we routed there, desk confirmed had one. Front desk wanted to give me an extension cord!! Its late night, now need to find a charging spot We can speak to owner tomorrow but would have to waste time until 10am for him to show up. Lots of bad Google reviews mixed with some 5star, suspect the good reviews are planted. Can be terrible one day and awesome the next

It wasn't the worst hotel I've stayed in, but it was pretty close. Kind of reminds me of the motel in My name is Earl. Hard to find the driveway because the pavement was cracked up. Broken railings, peeling paint and wallpaper in the lobby, cheap blankets and pillows, dirty towels, screws sticking out of the top of the furniture, made me sign a paper saying that I know what the rate is, but rate was blank. The positives are that it was cheap, the heater worked, and the sheets were clean.

There was nothing we liked about the property it was dirty and trash everywhere. We had a 17 hour flight and just wanted to sleep and we couldn't because the room was absolutely filthy there was chicken bones the the floor. wrappers on the floor. A box of condoms and rope and hoop earrings in the nightstand. A bowl of mashed potatoes in the freezer. Sugar or salt in the dresser drawers and also cigarette ashes. The counters were filthy the bathroom sink was filthy. The toilet paper was not put on the holder just sat on the top.i had to buy a bottle of bleach to clean the room myself minus the stuff that was in the freezer and drawers. I call the front desk the next morning to complain about it and the lady stated yelling at me. On and when we pulled up to the room there was a pile of stuff stacked in front. The place should be fined and closed down until corrected.

First of all I reserved a king smoking room. When I checked in . They seem to not be able to find me a room. Then they gave me a room that need work. The TV went in out and could only get like 5 channels. When I called. They said the cable people would be there in 39 min on New years Eve. Then the manger said well u got a big discount on room. Okay why should that matter. I booked online with that rate. I was also charged a 30 deposit. I did get back on the morning. But we couldn't watch an New years things on TV

This was the worse hotel. Crime ridden area, rooms not safe. Door wouldn't close, and lock broken. So bad, had to move to another hotel. Refused a refund. Don't make the mistake of not searching reviews ahead of time. There is not one positive review for this hotel. So bad, I will never use Expedia again, for even listing this place without vetting.

I asked for a non-smoking room and they gave me a smoking room. I had a hard time adjusting to the smell. I had to use my inhaler. The bed sheets had holes and had stains. Towels had stains; were not properly washed. The person upstairs was nosy and kept talking almost all night. He had an agressive tone. I found a stray dog on the halls; poor doggy. I expected free breakfast; I got none. The reception desk person did not actually explained. I couldn’t understand on his low voice tone. I am disappointed to have slept in this place. I expected better.

They kicked us our earlier than our check out time because they over booked and needed the room. They also only gave us 15 minutes to leave and was very rude about it. There is nothing on the site about the infestation of bedbugs on the side of the hotel or the amount of reconstruction that is going on. The worst experience we’ve ever been through.

The service was terrible the guy was rude all the time and he didn't even bother to accommodate my reservation. I didn't stay at all because after my reservation was not showing in the system he wants to charge for a day to stay in even looking at my reservation with different date on it. He is crazy and rude guys with attitude like him shouldn't be working after hours.
