What guests think

At Rodeway Inn Mercer I-80, guests describe a budget stop right off the highway, but many report inconsistent cleanliness, noticeable odors or smoke, and aging, poorly maintained interiors across rooms and corridors.

The indoor pool and hot tub are frequently closed or not working, though a few reviews found them open and fine. Breakfast is inconsistent—several say it was unavailable despite advertising, while others report a basic or good offering—and the adjacent Mexican restaurant earns repeated praise. Rooms feel dated, with odors and maintenance issues like weak AC or limited TV, but some guests note comfortable beds and quiet stays. Overall, expect a basic overnight stop with variable upkeep and amenities.

Got our room key stolen from the pool area from another guest. Reported it and the front desk attendant was very helpful and concerned. She then told me later that night that guest was arrested and removed off the property. Stain in refrigerator was the only thing in room that wasn't top notch. Excellent pool with hot tub attached. No sauna it was removed years ago.

Room was ok, usb plugins on the splitter did not work, We also found a used snuff pouch beside the bed so attention to detail doesn't seem like priority. The Hot Tub and Pool were fine. It's your average 2 Star hotel PS: there is NOT continental breakfast despite the pictures

Bed was comfortable and staff was helpful! Pool was (and had been) closed for repairs, which is understandable but disappointing, since I was traveling w/ a child. I feel that should have been mentioned when I booked the property just 2 days prior. Also, the outlets in the bathroom were so loose that my hair appliances wouldn't stay plugged into the wall

When we got to our room I noticed some nasty stains on the sheets. I went to front desk and showed them pictures. She said shed send someone to change them. We left for a wedding and came back to find they weren't changed and no house keeper was there. Had to change rooms.

This motel could be much nicer if the company made some investment in it. The landscape is not maintained. There's no food service. But the room itself was fine. The bed was very comfortable.

This is a cheap hotel. You are booking this hotel because it's next to the highway. If you're staying more than 12 hours, don't do it here. Everything in my room was stained (including dried blood on the comforter), and it didn't smell great. I made sure my luggage didn't touch any fabric surface. But I slept fine and wasn't murdered, which is about all I was asking for at this price point. The attached restaurant was ok. So, temper your expectations. You'll get a cheap, dirty room, at a cheap price. If you want a new, pristine hotel with amenities, this isn't for you.

Although they let us check out a day early at no charge when we booked for 2 days, the rooms really need some upgrades. Rooms are very spacious but there is an old smell. They could use some painting, and getting rid of stained carpeting. Shower curtain could use replacement.

This place was a mess from the moment I walked in. No one was at the front desk — I waited almost 15 minutes. The only employee around was a woman from the food area who was outside smoking and chatting on the phone. When she finally came in, she kept texting and stayed on her phone the whole time, completely ignoring me. And I wasn’t the only one — another guest was also waiting to check in. No apology, no urgency, nothing. When I finally got to the room, it was just gross. I booked a non-smoking room, but the whole hallway smelled like smoke, and so did the room. The bedding looked like it hadn’t been changed — stained, dirty, and just nasty. I honestly don’t think it had been through a washing machine in a while. For the money they’re charging, this place is a joke. Poor service, filthy rooms, and zero professionalism. Wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

I was satisfied with my stay at the Rodeway in Media. It's an older facility showing a bit of wear, but it was clean and well maintained. The front desk people were friendly and helpful. My room was large, comfortable, and clean (but I did suggest on checkout that the shower curtain needs cleaning or replacement). There's no included breakfast. There is a neighboring Mexican restaurant open for lunch and dinner. There's not much else in the immediate area (a gas station and a fast food place), but the motel is fine for a traveler's overnight stop.

Parking was plenty as the hotel was pretty empty. The room had an odor which I had to purchase room fresher to try and get rid of it (was probably the old carpets as I have been in this hotel before and its the same as it was ~3 years ago). Disappointed that they discontinued the breakfast bar in the AM.
