What guests think

Rodeway Inn Red Oak offers basic, good-value stays with clean, comfortable rooms and friendly check-ins, though amenities and the complimentary breakfast are minimal; a quiet, rural location with a nearby restaurant suits short, no-frills stopovers.

While many find the staff helpful, some guests cite rudeness, inflexible policies, being hurried out of breakfast, or difficulty reaching the front desk. Maintenance feedback is mixed, with reports of short shower heads, lukewarm water, temperature control issues, and a few room or fixture problems. Overall, expect a simple, affordable stay suited to overnight travel.

Stayed 2 nights

It’s a mid-range economy hotel, looks like they’re working on trying to upgrade a few cosmetic things. There are very few amenities (small bottles of shampoo, no conditioner, no coffee maker in the room, etc), the breakfast is minimal and if your diet requires you to be GF, you’ll have no options outside of coffee and juice, heads up. The outer security door key card scanner was smashed so if you’re skittish about security, don’t stay around that end because the outer door only locked about 50% of the time

I was skeptical as it showed only 2 stars, but reviews were positive. It was only for one night so gave it a chance. I was a late evening check in so was only there about 11 hours but my experience was positive. Check in was quick, room was clean and bed was comfortable. The comforter was the best I’ve ever had at a hotel-in fact, wanted to possibly purchase one at check out but the desk clerk was not around when I left. Breakfast was minimal but my 3 year old granddaughter and I enjoyed a nice conversation as she had juice and ate cereal and a bun while I had fresh waffles. Coffee was instant I believe but good enough I filled my travel mug to take with. The only negative if I’d even call it that, was the aroma of the owners meals as you enter the lobby but this will not deter me from staying in the future as it did permeate the rooms.

We booked our room through Expedia-AARP. The price was very reasonable and, although the hotel was not new, the accommodations were clean and comfortable. The staff, especially the front desk, were very efficient and pleasant. The maid service was courteous and helpful, checking if we needed any towels or anything since we indicated we did not need our room made up. The complimentary breakfast was simple and the parking area was well-lit and adequate. We were pleased with our stay and would not hesitate to stay here again.

I didn't like anything. The front desk man was rude and kept rushing conversation. The breakfast wasn't something you'd find at a hotel that provides breakfast. Me and my family were eating cereal, and waffles (all they had) and there for 15 minutes before we had to leave because the lady was ready to clean! They stop breakfast at 10. It was only 9:08am when she rushed us out! They don't allow pets, but still have it on their website that it's a pet friendly hotel! This was the worst hotel experience I've ever had. We will never go there again!

We arrived in the middle of the night. I had informed ahead of time that we had a small service dog and it says right on their website that they were allowed without question. He informed us (after over 13 hours driving) that he didn’t know about the service dog (when it states service dogs allowed) that although he was not denying us a room, we would be charged to have the carpet, room and curtains cleaned, because they have guests that have allergies. What about disabled guests?!? I would think that since it clearly says “service dogs allowed” it would be against ADA regulations to tell someone that they would have to pay for that. I will be checking with the regulatory authorities on this and if indeed it is against their regulations I will be commencing a lawsuit. I have never heard of such discrimination against a disabled person
