Online showed one price and when we arrived was double. Very dirty everything: rooms, restrooms, outdoors. Breakfast’s coffee is the only very good.

We were on Ocala for a weekend event and had to book a room which not many were left in the area at a decent price. Choosing Rodway Inn $248 for Thursday thru Sat checkout being Sunday 11am. …

I wouldn’t have stayed here for my work trip had I done my due diligence. The motel/inn needs to be renovated and have a makeover. Overall the beds are too lumpy and the space is dirty. Didn’t even want to sit at the desk because...Read More

When I first walked in the room there was a roach running on the wall when we cut the lights on. Then I went to the bathroom, planning to use it, and there were several roaches in the tub. I went to the leasing office...Read More

The evening employee was quite kind as I checked in with my medical service dog. Morning checkout was far from kind. My service dog tends to bark sometimes at hotels, usually when he hears something going on outside our door. As I went to shower this morning (April 15), I heard him bark twice. Rather than allow that to continue I called him to the very small shower/toilet room so he would bark no more at what he perceived to be intruders. I took my overnight bag out to my car, but when I tried to get back in my room, the keys wouldn't work. I panicked. I had opened the window just a bit so I told him to wait till while I walked as fast as I could to get the keys fixed. A woman, who I think was the owner, chastised me for having a dog. She was rude and judgemental. She asked for his certification. There is no such thing for trained service dogs. As I stood there, obviously panicked because I know he will bark if I'm away, she continues to berate me. In the end I was pretty stern that I just needed a key to get the last of my belongings. Should I have loaded my dog in my car first? Probably, but the car was 5 feet from the door and I knew he would be fine watching me get the car ready to go. Once the car was loaded, I drove back to the front office to show that woman my trained medical service dog. This woman was still rude! I stayed calm and encouraged her to look up the actual law so she could be better informed. She refused to have further discussion. On to the room. It was filthy and it smelled, but I was so tired I just dealt with it. There is no cover on the light over the shower, so all the electrical wires are exposed. I can't imagine the steam from the shower is good for the electricity. The beds did appear clean and I didn't see any bed bugs, so that's good. If you travel with a service dog, you might want to avoid this place. If you don't want to see cobwebs in the corners and exposed wires in the bathroom, maybe avoid this place. That all said, her night staff member was so very kind! She could take kindness lessons for him.

Repairs and renovations are desperately needed. The door to the room is ill fitting and had enough empty space below so insects can easily crawl inside the room. Also there was only one light bulb in a two bulb fixture in the shower...Read More

Convenient. Very old motel with bare bones .— no iron/ironing board, no hair dryer. We have used 30,000 points at Comfort Inns, definitely thought 30,000 points was way too much for this place. Would like to tell you one fantastic …

There were bed bugs in the room. Staff was very nice at the check-in/check-out and it also included complimentary breakfast. Otherwise, it would have been a zero rating.

The non-smoking room smelled of 1,000 cigarettes, the smoke detector was missing, there was no light cover on the bathroom light, no battery cover on the tv remote and the room caused itchy eyes, nose and throat.

only one outlet worked to plug in charging cables, no breakfast, and the room had a mildew smell

Filthy room. Baseboard was pulled away from the wall and there was dirt and old, moldy sunflower seeds in the crack. Not worth the cheap price.

VacationSoloLocation: 4It was a lot quieter than I expected.

The hotel room smelled like smoke. You can’t have a No Smoking room with a Smoking Room on either side of it. The smell will seep in. The light in the bathroom above the shower had open wires and it took a handful attempts to...Read More

The tile floors were dirty and our feet were black walking across the floor. The door had a big gap in it. The bathroom needed repair. However the cleaning staff was very nice.
