Rodeway Inn Ventura Midtown

The owners we’re very nice the room was okay didn’t like that smoking was allowed there was trash out side

For a budget motel, the facilities were nice, restaurants were in easy walking distance, and the facilities for the disabled truly outstanding. Unfortunately, the bathroom counters were filthy, the bedroom floor crunchy with ramen noodles. If my housekeeper ever left my apartment in such a condition I'd fire her on the spot. But it was over Christmas, so maybe they were short staffed, or the maid service distracted. Good place for a tight budget, I'd even recommend it IF they cleaned better.

People were living in vehicles on the property. It was filthy and super sketchy

Poor parking!

Not only was there construction but the area was terrible. The TV didn’t work and was missing a cord. We had to fix the toilet twice in one night. There were no extra blankets and there was a tiny thin sheet on the bed. The walls were made of paper and we could hear people pounding up and down the stairs and talking like they were in the room with us. Everything was dirty and there were people clearly scoping out our cars. We know other people were talking about how bad it was because we could hear them clearly through the walls. The only positive thing is that the man at the front desk was really nice.

Love the remodel

Couldn't use the laundry facility nor the wifi because she wrote it horribly have a camera facing my room no privacy tv remote barely worked called and asked could I park my second car there since the auto shop fixed it they told me one room one car but they had plenty of space stairs have holes in them that made me trip

Slow check Property is not well maintained But rooms are ok clean and mostly work

The room at the inn was clean and presentable. The closed caption feature on the TV and/or remote controller did not work as designed and it was very late for us to report it to the office. Where we stayed, one of several construction utility trucks doubled parked in the front of the unit where we stayed so we had to park our car elsewhere on the premise a little far. Overall, it was a nice place to stay for a reasonable price.

Room was clean and spacious. Property is old but well maintained. Only two negative issues; there was no mirror in the bathroom or anywhere else in the room. The only rooms that had a King bed as we requested were on the second floor and there is no elevator. The stairs are steep and handrails extremely low. With arthritis and a knee replacement the trips up and down the stairs were excruciating. We would definitely stay again if there were a ground floor room available.

GREAT STAFF BUT THE ROOM WAS DIRTY INCLUDING TOWELS AND THE OUTSIDE WAS DIRTY.

Absolutely not worth it. We didn’t even stay for an hour before we left with no refund. First, the bed and bathroom were dirty. Crumbs all over the bed, gunk and dirt all in the window. dirty towels and NO SMOKE DETECTOR Second, the other people staying there were flashing tasers and getting aggressive with each other and when we brought it to the staffs attention, they still did not offer out a refund. Which I understand to an extent since we booked through a third party. Overall not a good experience at all. the front desk lady was nice and all but not very helpful with the situation at hand.

My standards are very modest (I happily stay a Hotel 6 all the time). This place failed to meet even the budget hotel standard (not even close actually). Many parts of the room were dirty (especially the windows and baseboards). There were holes in the wall and peeling paint. The room smelled terrible. I had to leave the windows open all day and night.

This motel was acceptable as an overnight-on-the-way-to-somewhere-else place.The room was dark, not very clean, the lighting was broken/gone, the toilet ran. Luckily I had transportation, went and purchased some cleaning supplies, and used them. The room had a window in the bathroom that provided an ocean breeze and some sunshine- very nice. The staff was shocked when I asked for a lighter room. Not possible as a large part of the hotel was rented to a group of workers on a monthly basis. They and the other guests were all very pleasant. The staff did not seem to appreciate my asking where the laundry was (it was "out of order", a laundromat was down the street) and for the WIFI password. The password did not work. After writing it down for me the owner looked at me and said "Go away". I would not recommend this hotel although tit did seem safe from thieves. Had it not already been paid for I would have looked elsewhere. I left a day early.

The room was dirty and smelly. There was black mold/mildew on the bathroom window. There was constant coming and going, tv on, smoking cigarettes and weed, and talking outside my door and in the room next door. ALL NIGHT LONG. The people finally left at 6 am and it got quiet. Never ever going back there.

took over a half hour to check in, as we had changed our reservation and supposedly 'the main office had not updated it' REALLY??? they were just trying to get us to pay for 2 nights instead of 1. I had the confirmation that we had one night, not two. Still had to find that on my phone, as the printed page wasn't good enough for them. First guy checking us in had limited English and we waited until another younger woman came to talk to us. room was not clean. there was an outlet on one side of the bed but not the other, no lamps on the sides of the bed, just a hole on either side where the wall lamp should have been. The only light was the overhead. in the morning, when I could see better, it looked like the window had been broken and the cracks taped. over all, I got the creeps from this room.

Old property,dirty, noisy, tv did not work, door handles ready to fall off, major mold in bathroom. Advertised with a kitchenette but no burners in stove. I would take this off your recommendation for motels!! I will not recommend Expedia if this is your kind of property’s!!

The floor in the room and in the bathroom was dirty and gritty, and baseboards filthy. The shower chair had hair on it and the drain had some gunk. There was one chair in the room (for 2 people) and it was badly soiled, had to lay plastic down on it before I felt comfortable sitting. My dad's bed had makeup spilled on the bed skirt. Crayon scribbles on the wall next to the TV armoire. The drawers in the nightstands were dirty. Food residue on the little table, and dried up residue on the artwork above it, as if someone had sprayed something and got it all over the glass. The bed linens were clean, thank goodness. The manager had me leave $100 cash only deposit (refunded at checkout) which was an unexpected thing, it was not listed on Expedia website, a bit of a hardship, normally this is done with a credit card. At checkout when i asked for the deposit back the manager scowled at me and after checking the condition of the room, wordlessly handed it over with a scowl. I said Thank you and he totally ignored me as if I'd done something wrong. I tried again with Thank you, louder this time and still no acknowledgement that I'd spoken, so unfriendly. He made me feel so unwelcomed. I would never stay here again. We chose it for the location to our event.

Dirty: holes in blanket, shoe prints on sheets, baseboards dirty. I slept fully clothed. I thought Norman Bates was coming by. Oh, they say they have wifi...spotty and shotty! Tried to upload photos but I guess they turned it off. Reserved 3 days, checked out the next day and stoll don't have my refund.

Anyone can easily barge into the room due to the faulty door. Staff was nice and able to accommodate our early check out though.

Spartan room, without any plastic cups for water

Rooms look nothing like pictured on website, outdated rooms, water took awhile to get hot

Convenient location. Very noisy in room with many people having conversations outside doors until early morning hours.

We liked the updated tiling and shower heads but the toilet was not working and had to call maintenance several times. They were very responsive but just needed to replace the internal workings so it would stop running and flush properly.

The room was spacious. The bathroom looked to have been recently remodeled. Big shower and nice shower head. We were only there to shower and clean up after a day at the beach before we went home.

Single women and wanted to have a room close to the office. The manager understood right away and moved me closer right across from the office. It made my stay safe and i slept well the two days I stayed.

Great service

Staff was great.

The room was clean. Staff was polite.

Management is always very helpful.They are very kind and professional

Everything is comfortable and good there.I come to Ventura quite often for medical reasons and I prefer to only stay there.The only times I don’t is when I’ve waited too long to book my stay and is full occupancy Everyone in the office there are super helpful very professional,and good people.Thank you

We just stayed there for a baseball game. The pictures are misleading. The outside is dingy worndown, and give the impression of not being safe. Tons of cats hanging around in the parking lot. Interesting people coming in and out of the property. My anxiety was up the whole time because I did not feel safe the whole time we were there. The inside of the room was fairly clean but outdated. The toilet was not working when we got there and staff came in and fixed it but it broke again the day we left. The tv never turned complely off so there was a blue glow in the room the whole night. I really wanted to cancel our room and find a safer place to stay but it says no refunds. I will not stay there again.

The outside of the hotel is very old and desperately needs a facelift. From the moment you drive up, it has a shady feel to it with flickering lights at the entrance and homeless people in the parking lot. I wouldn’t write home about it, but it… wasn’t the worst? The room was old but it felt clean, and the bed was cozy. We booked it as a last resort when everything else in the area was sold out. We just checked in, slept, and left. All in all, if you just need a place to sleep for a night and you wanna save a buck, it does its job. I wouldn’t feel very comfortable staying for more than that.

Near the fairground
