Rodeway Inn Hutchinson Area

For $40-60 a night, getting a large room with friendly staff is a real bargain. I've been staying here for a while, and people like Raina and Debby are always nice to talk with. The shorter staff member moves quickly; she got my towels washed in under 20 minutes, and they came back warm and fresh-smelling. There's a microwave and fridge, a choice of cable or Roku for the TV, strong wifi, and pets are welcome. I haven't found this kind of room and service at that price elsewhere.

I was surprised they let my tiny dog stay, since not many places do. There's a McDonald's and Sonics across the street, too. The hotel and rooms are both really spacious, and the staff have been helpful. The young, tiny woman in the all-black uniform is always hurrying around, ready to pitch in. She gets my towels washed when I need fresh ones, and even walked my dog while I was at work. She's so kind and easy to talk to.

My friend recommended this quiet, private hotel, and I can see why. You can have a friend over and make noise in your room without disturbing anyone outside, or being disturbed yourself. The rooms are much bigger than I expected for the low price, and they're kept clean. Pets are allowed, and the staff are very friendly. When I lost my key, the short, black-haired woman, Rayna I believe, replaced it quickly and was lovely when she washed my towels later. Deb, who works the afternoon front desk, is kind and sweet too. I don't understand complaints about meals; no hotel I've stayed at, high-end or budget, has offered free breakfast or lunch.

The outside looks nice, but the interior is really dated. There's no overnight staff, extra pillows, or meals, and the courtyard by the pool gets VERY LOUD.
