Budget Inn Charlotte

The room was clean, but it was definitely hot. The a/c wasn't on when I got into the room and it was one of those HOT ASF days in Charlotte. Other than that it was quiet and close to my intended destination.

The place had several dead roaches, and there was hair in the refrigerator here in the bathroom sink here in the bathtub.

For the price the room and amenities were minimal and acceptable. But I didn't expect to need to place a cash deposit for the room on arrival. I wish this had been abundantly clear before I reserved the room, because I would have gone somewhere else. Being forced to place a $30 cash deposit for the room, not only felt like being nickeled and dimed (because I had to accept the ATM fee to withdraw money at the motel), but it also immediately made me feel like I was in the ghetto. And the manager reminded me that the deposit was subject to being forfeited if I was so much as a minute late checking out. For some people I'm sure these things are no big deal, but I'll avoid the Rodeway Inn moving forward. I've had so many seamless and smooth motel stays over the years, that I don't need this.

My husband and I never even got the chance to check in. The front desk employee was extremely rude when asked about the questionable cash only deposit that he demanded that we give. When I explained that I booked online through Expedia and that I can put a deposit on my credit card, he took out a list of guest names stating that it was a list of all of the people who gave the cash deposit and would get it back. He then further stated that if we didn’t like it, we could go elsewhere. That is exactly what we did. We would not recommend this location to anyone due to the rude employee engagement, questionable cash only ”policy”, and the cleanliness of the location upon arrival.

stayed for 4 nights tv wasn't working at first the manager came in an fixed it, also there was a few bugs in the bathroom.
