Rodeway Inn Kansas City Downtown Area

Very few amenities. Had to ask for maid service. Needed one pillow but staff refused to provide. Property filthy.

Basic cheap motel, the homeless along the block did not bother us or come on the property at all. security cameras and well lit parking lot. Motel room wasn't very clean on check in, many foreign hairs throughout the room and in the bed and later on a roach scurried across the bed when we got back and turned on the light. You get what you get for cheap/last minute, no frills and maybe a bug friend or two. The person in the office said we'd be fine🤗

Liked the rooms and amenities.

I would not wish this place upon my worst enemy. I was only in the room for a minute before I knew it was unsuitable to stay in. I expected it to be a little dilapidated based on the price, but I was not at all preoared for how horrible if an experience this would be. FILTHY! My bathroom had red bugs on the shower curtains and standing, dirty water in the tub. Used bar of soap in the tub as well. SMELLY! The rooms reeked of cigarette smoke. I was not the only one who thought this, another party left immediately because of this. UNSAFE! No smoke detector. Crackheads on the corners. RUN DOWN! Curtains held up with safety pins, chipped flooring, bad painting. Im not sure what rooms they photographed for the listing but mine looked nothing like it. RUDE AND DISHONEST STAFF! They could not refund me, despite actually taking my card at the desk, claiming only a manager could do so. They said a manager would refund me the following day, they did not and later informed Expedia they would not give me a refund. I sat in the lobby to try and book another hotel (and try and cancel through Expedia), and I was kicked out for remaining on the property for too long. Look at the reviews based on when they were posted, nothing good has been written of late. Negligent, dirty, unsafe property. Expedia should be shamed for listing it. Never in my life have I left a hotel/motel/lodge once checked in... ever. Do yourself a favor, find another hotel.

I have video proof of the roaches in this facility. I did not stay . Not one but TWO rooms

The room was intolerably hot and came with bed bugs. When we arrived, the heater was cranked full-blast. Turning it over to cool and opening the door didn't help at all. It was a cool day, every other room must have been just as hot to keep it that way. Waking to bites at 1:30 am, we found bed bugs had made their way to the pillow and were under the mattress. We just left and started the day then.

I was disappointed, the room was dirty, the sheets were dirty, I found chips under the pillow, I stayed there for 4 days on the second day, cockroaches began to come out in the room and I found bedbugs, the shower curtain stank of cigarettes and was dirty, the worst stay of my life

I booked this room for my daughter who was driving cross country. She told me there was blood on the door, the bed and sheets smelled like the last person who'd slept there, the room was dirty, people were yelling all night and she felt so unsafe she didn't sleep. Please, save yourself from some grief and book elsewhere.

Remarkably dirty room. Dead bugs and hair everywhere. There was even an empty McDonald’s cup in the room when we arrived? Very nice owners but much to be desired otherwise.

I do not recommend this motel to anyone. Cockroaches everywhere! Dirty nasty floors. Door to the room looked like it had bullet holes in it. Door didn’t seal properly when closed. Peddlers all over outside. Overall very nasty and unsafe place to stay.

Completely dirty in and out of room. I didn’t stay and they are still trying to charge me.

It was dirty, there was a huge dust ball on the A/C, the sink and tub had not been cleaned, furniture is old and broken. Wholes in the sheets and bed cover from cigarette burns. When mentioned to front desk in the morning expecting to have it taken care of, can back in the afternoon and nothing had been done. Awful place and staff.

There was a mouse in our room, the shower did not work, the whole place smelled like a dirty bathroom mixed with cigarettes, the floor was dirty, cabinet doors were falling off their hinges, power outlets were loose, no access to drinking water, toilet had feces stains from previous visitors, the blanket had holes bitten through them, towels and sheets were stained and dirty. Stay here only if you're broke and do not care about cleanliness or comfort. Otherwise, literally anywhere else is better.

it's a ran down hotel with rooms recently remodeled. you could smell an old smoke in a room.

The staff was friendly, the room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. Otherwise, it was run down and there were prostitutes in the parking lot. As a large, confident male, I felt safe, but I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone who doesn’t fit all those categories.

Outdated, but overall clean and comfortable for the price! Neighborhood was a bit noisy

Liked the rooms and amenities.

The room wasn't clean but there were clean towels and clean sheets. We asked for a different room and been told that there was no any availability then asked for a room service next day for cleaning , unfortunately no one came. We think they change towels and sheets but don't clean floors, tubs, and dusts. Yet, we could not figure out when was the refrigerator cleaned last! Also, we could easily hear upstairs and next door rooms.

I was looking for an economy room, and there are lots of choices close by - the rooms were run down, the people unfriendly, and the price was way too high for what we got.

Place was great! We only stayed there for a night but it was very convenient to get to the start of the parade, no complaints with the room

Bad area, run down homeless-halfway house. When I arrived, I went to office to check-in. It was locked. Didn't see the buzzer needed to get in. After calling the Expedia bots, that couldn't help, had to call number I found online. Got checked in and went to room. Deadbolt didn't work. Roach in dresser. Sprite can in warm fridge. I left the key on the dresser and left. Didn't spend the night. Waste of money.

So we went to a concert and came back at about 1:00 a.m. with some friends to regroup and go to an after party. When we got to the room they front desk repetitively called us and harassed us about the people that were in our room. And then from there there was a roach problem where they were actually crawling around on the walls. We were met with threats of up charges for people staying in the room even though that it was a quick stop in and head back out. Never in my life have I been harassed for having extra people in my room literally the moment we walked in the door.

Terrible area terrible font desk service racist kept saying I was making noise had a whole mother cycle club out side no one complained. But I had company visiting me because I was not mobile and they were in small groups. And they made a very big deal out of where they called the police on me and my company will never recommend or stay there again. I’ve learned to never go for the cheaper areas. People where smoking drugs in the next room over it came threw my vents I had a child with me but they had the nerve to try to punish me for a noise complaint

This review might not be fair since we never checked in. We had to cancel our reservation by July 20th to get a refund. We were in town to check-in on July 22nd. We had to drive by two blocks of homeless, and to get to the hotel building itself, we would have had to drive by peoples beds outside. I am not unfamiliar with areas like this, but there was nothing that said 'safe'. We took our loss and left since that was the cancellation wording on our reservation. There was nothing we saw that says this should be on a hotels.com recommendation list, and I worry about families traveling with kids affordably. Any mistake that involves losing money is an expensive one. Sure would be nice to be able to get a refund though.

The bathroom was disgusting. And the neighborhood was terrible not a safe place to stay

Was going to stay there for an event. When i pulled up there were vagrants relieving themselves outside. I also had the privilege of witnessing an unauthorized pharmaceutical deal. I chose to drive on. Edit: I was asked to reword my review.

ROUGH neighborhood

I booked this room for my daughter who was driving cross country. She told me there was blood on the door, the bed and sheets smelled like the last person who'd slept there, the room was dirty, people were yelling all night and she felt so unsafe she didn't sleep. Please, save yourself from some grief and book elsewhere.

I will never in my life stay at this hotel again ! I flew in for a work trip and it was my only option at first ! I seen roaches and it was just ran down and dirty so I couldn’tt stay ! I was in the room all of 15 minutes ! I told the man at the front desk that I can’t stay there cause it’s filthy and has roaches ! He attempted to fuss with me saying it’s no roaches there !! I told him he can keep the $140 for the night just give me my $100 deposit back ! Most def not worth $140 a night! Heck it’s not worth $50 a night ! It’s in the ghetto ! People standing out doing druggy and all !! I will never in my life go near this hotel again !

Bad area

Terrible neighborhood to much noise

Place was great! We only stayed there for a night but it was very convenient to get to the start of the parade, no complaints with the room

We didn’t even check in. It literally looked like a homeless camp. The motel from the outside looked like a condemned building. We felt very unsafe to even get out of the car. We found another hotel else where.
