What guests think

Rodeway Inn & Suites near Okoboji Lake offers a budget stay with convenient location and generally friendly staff, but reviews note mixed room quality between the main building and annex, with dated features and recurring maintenance and odor issues.

Cleanliness feedback ranges from very clean rooms to reports of dirty bathrooms, stained bedding, and stray debris. Several guests encountered closed or confusing pool and hot tub access, limited breakfast with no hot items, and small parking areas, though some liked the fire pits and grill. Service is often polite and helpful, yet some experienced slow front-desk responses, housekeeping lapses, and occasional policy or lobby use frustrations. Expect a basic, affordable stay with tradeoffs in consistency.

Great option for families traveling to or through the Okoboji area. Our room was a 4 Queen bed suite. There were 2 Queen beds when you enter the room. The other 2 beds were in an upstairs area. The upstairs had their own air/heater, tv, closet and table with the beds. Breakfast was included and the nieces and nephews loved the pool and hot tub. They even wanted to swim there in the evening even after swimming in the lake for many hrs earlier in the day.

For just a place to stay out of the elements ok, but I didn't use much in room so I don't know if my hair dryer worked or not. I heard that there were others that didn't work for instance. There was some confusion about the pool and hot tub as a there was a sign that said stuf was closed but was told by the gal at the front the pool was open but no lights on. First room wasn't ready and so given another room. Breakfast was OK, just a jug of milk that was pretty much gone by the time Iwent to eat in the morning.

The location was convenient & the price was ok. The pool/hot tub area was very clean & well kept. The front desk staff was friendly The room was ok - decor as a little outdated & a little more attention to detail when cleaning would be beneficial (dirt in the corners of the bathroom & dust on lamps etc). Extra blankets/pillows would be appreciated. I would probably stay here again if I came alone.

I reported at time of loading into our room. I found a red pill on floor. Luckily before our young child found it!!!! Reported it and no word. For some reason staff came into our room the next morning. We were then going to have dinner in lobby with a relative but the owners we having their own family meal and took up the entire place!!! They noticed we wanted to eat there too and only said we will be done in like 10 mins!!!! Disappointing. Parking isn't great.

The key cards didn't work properly. The room was gross...there was a stain on the mattress all the way to the floor that could have been puke or coffee...unsure. The ironing board was stained and lumpy. The iron itself was dirty inside and out. I almost stained the shirt I was ironing. The parking was horribly small. The floor in the building we were staying was on a slant. When we went up to get the continental breakfast the lady behind the desk was watching us the whole time...it was unconfortable. I should have taken pictures but I was just so mad at myself for booking there so I didn't want to. Will definitely NOT be staying there again.

The staff was very kind. And they were around cleaning alot. The hotel itself is very run down, the ac was sooo loud. The room smelled wet and felt wet. There was a dog barking behind my room all night. The hotel is ridiculously priced for what we got. 170$ per night is not worth it. This hotel would be 40-70$ a night in omaha or des moines .. just because its basically in boji its expensive for what you get.

On next day, the same thing happened…I called front desk to let them know and person just said ok…I told him “wait till my review”. I had two people stop by at different times to get trash collected and new towels. I wasn’t impressed at all!!!

This is a decent budget stay, with a limited but good breakfast. The bedding and towels were clean. Our only issue was allergies within the older buildings. I also wish it was more clearly stated that this is a motel converted to run like a hotel, so you do go outside to get to many rooms. Overall, a decent stay and we had ample space for our family of 6 in the suites room option.
