We visited this place a few years ago, and it looks like they have done some painting and other touch-ups since then.

Room was bigger than we had previously, with a little sofa and coffee table. The room was clean and comfortable, although some of the furniture was rather worn. Shower was good, wi-fi worked perfectly, TV was good-sized with 60-plus channels. Desk clerk could use a little more enthusiasm.

The hotel is in a strange part of town -- sort of industrial, with a tractor-trailer dealer across the street and not much in the way of restaurants. We used Choice points for a free night, but I assume the rate is under $60 -- if so, it's a good deal for a quick one-nighter.

Stayed here one night, won't return. Had a rollaway bed specified in our reservation, it was not in the room, and none were available. Room was in pretty poor condition, holes in furniture, nasty sheets, etc. Guy at the front desk late on a saturday night was very friendly and tried to be helpful locating an extra bed. Not the best nieghborhood either- some odd folks just hanging out in the parking lot at 11:30 on a saturday night.

Being a frugal traveler, I chose the Rodeway Inn for my accommodations as part of a weekend that included attending a USC Trojans – Washington State Cougars game in Pullman. The official hotel for the group I was with was the elaborately-posh Davenport Hotel across the street, but the Rodeway Inn fit my budget. The premises were clean and the staff was friendly. I enjoyed the location as I was able to explore the downtown area of Spokane easily. The Rodeway Inn fit my needs perfectly. The only concern I would share was the high cost of the taxi ride to and from the airport, no way a reflection of the hotel. I would recommend doing some research for a more cost-effective means of being taxied to the airport.

We stayed here for one night while passing through Washington. It's located right off the highway, but the part of town it's in is kind of strange. The area looks very industrial and kind of desolate. I didn't see any other hotels in the area which was kind of strange. The hotel is divided up into two separate buildings, and kind of looks like old budget apartments. Our room was in the second building (the one without the lobby), right next to the ice machine on the second floor. The first thing I noticed was that there wasn't a security lock on our door. Half of what looked like a lock was attached to the doorframe, but the rest of it was missing. Had I been staying in the room alone, I would have been a bit nervous about this. The room itself had kind of a strange layout. It was small, and laid out so that the bed was facing the window instead of next to it. The room was stuffy and smelled like old smoke. I got the feeling someone was trying to replace a few things here and there (carpet and flooring and bathroom looked new) and pass this place off as being nicer than it is. The room was mostly clean, although someone had dumped some sort of brown liquid all over the air conditioner that had never been cleaned up. When we pulled back the (thread bare) sheets, we saw hat the mattress pad was way too small for the bed. This was disconcerting considering how grungy the sides of the mattress looked. At least the sheets looked clean and smelled bleachy. Almost too bleachy, honestly. Towels were the same way. All in all, this is probably somewhere basic you could stay if you had to, but I would just plan on budgeting some extra money for Spokane and staying somewhere else. A lot of people called this place a good value, but I didn't think we got nearly what we paid for. Especially considering that this place is five exits down the highway from downtown and isn't near anything other than a Flying J.
