“Not recommended”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed December 27, 2012

We stayed there for our recent LA trip and had a below average experience
1. Sub standard interiors and furniture
2. No service, even to call someone at the reception you need to ring a bell
3. Breakfast was as good as not being there. Only corn flakes and bread with cold milk
4. You can smell smoke in the lobby
5. Front desk guy was not polite and was not willing to talk or greet us or anything.

You can find a lot better hostels in this price range.

“On Colorado Blvd, good area.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2012

Easy check in process, let me check in early. Noticed as I got there, no real stores nearby. Liquor store across the street and a Kentucky Fried Chicken few doors down. Room was nice and roomy, clean and nice firm soft bed. Ask for extra towels which I got quickly. Nice housekeeping staff, everyone I came in contact with was nice. Small breakfast presentation, very basic. All and All a good visit

“Did the job”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2012

Stayed here for three nights whilst the Breeders Cup horse racing was on at Santa Anita race track.I had a queen room, it was clean , had coffee maker , a fridge and a microwave, the bathroom was a good size with a sower/tub combo.The free breakfast consisted of coffee , juice, cereals , croissants and apples. Next door is a KFC and within walking distance is a 7/11 ,Dennys and the Colorado bar. The bed was firm but comfortable the pillows were light but as i was on my own this was not a problem. There are no room safes or safety deposit boxes available.

“you get what you pay for”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed July 9, 2012

You get what you pay for. I had to make a last minute trip to SoCal and needed a place for a very short amount of time. I was driving in from SF, checking in at around 2AM and would check out by 9:30AM. I pretty much just needed a place to sleep. I'm not one of those people that's just fine with a bed though. Yes, that's all I really needed, but I'm also a bit of a clean freak. It's a no frills kind of place, which is what I anticipated. I didn't expect a grandiose lobby with fresh flowers and a perky receptionist to greet me upon my arrival. I paid $80 for my stay so I knew I'd be getting the basics. The reception area is as big as some walk-in closets and the front counter has a bullet proof glass separating you from the attendant. I'm still ok at this point, mind you. I set my expectations very low since the reviews I read on different sites were so varied. I rang the bell and a man who is half awake (forgiveable since I arrived at 2AM) appeared behind the glass. Check in was quick and we were off to our room. This is where I cringe a little bit. The hallways are drab and need to be vaccuumed. When I walk into my room I'm hit with a strong scent of cleaning products. While the dead bolt on the door works, the latch is completely broken. I don't know why it's even there when it can't serve its purpose. The dangling latch made me feel a bit uneasy but what can I do? The comforters look very dated and have likely not been cleaned in a long time. The sheets were so rough that it made it so hard to move around in bed. The towels are just the same and had a very strong scent of bleach. On the bright side, I guess that means they clean them well? Check out was a breeze. As instructed, we just left our key in the room and left. I doubt I'll ever be back again.

All of our rooms are practically the same, except for the bed size. We at the Rodeway Inn & Suites clean all the rooms with the same cleaning supplies, and we have the same amenities in all the rooms. We keep are rooms as clean as possible and do change are sheets everyday. I do apologize for the deadbolt, sometimes the maids forget to tell the manager. We try are hardest to satisfy all the customers and try to do our best, but some customers will always have bad things to say.

“awful”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed July 9, 2012

while the picture of this place looks good the room we got was awful, it was dark, and the smell was unbearable. whatever cleaning solution they used to clean the room and floors was just too strong and impossible to tolerate.

didnt stay more than 15 mins and decided to check out and go to another hotel. i cant comment on the amenities, bed, coffee maker, etc. didnt in the room long enough

We at the Rodeway Inn & Suites keep all of our rooms neat and clean. Sometimes customers smell the perfume and don't like it, but we use that in all are rooms, so we are sorry if you didn't like the scent.
