Rodeway Inn Asheville

It’s a cheap hotel, and the price comes with some tradeoffs. The rooms could use updating, and it isn’t the cleanest place. Pets are allowed, and there’s a small shop with a smoke shop in the main lobby, which you don’t see at many hotels. The location is convenient, near lots of stores and restaurants. It’s a unique stay that won’t suit everyone, but the price is great and the service is good. Not the worst hotel, not the best either.

The staff were friendly whenever I spoke with them, and the location near the interstate and several restaurants was convenient. The price was reasonable, and my large dog was no problem. Still, I can't see myself coming back. The hallway carpet smelled so bad that I kept a large candle burning in my room, which helped. I heard vacuuming, but the carpet really needs replacing. The maid had never cleaned under the bed, even though things could roll beneath it. I don't think tips are fair to ask for if the job isn't done fully. I also saw one roach come out of the bathroom baseboard and retreat into it. After that, I left a light on at night, kept my belongings tightly closed, and checked them before leaving. I didn't find anything or see another bug.

The staff earned my five stars. Every time I've stayed at the rodeway, I've been treated kindly. I overslept and was late getting out, entirely my fault, but they handled it patiently and politely. I can only thank them, because I might not have been so understanding if our roles were reversed. For a hotel under $100 a night, I don't expect luxury or constant pampering. They have to budget, and that makes sense. It's also the most pet-friendly hotel I've seen, and it's affordable. Thanks to Sabrina and the rest of the staff for being so kind.

Nothing seemed clean or properly maintained. The room and the rest of the hotel smelled bad, and we saw roaches. The fridge and microwave were filthy, the bathroom sink was cracked and stained, and the shower curtain was dirty and moldy. Photos attached. I wouldn't recommend staying here.
