The price is very competitive and the hotel is situated in a convenient location, close to a bus route, convenience stores and more. It was also quiet and my sleep was undisturbed. The rooms could use a microwave and I spotted at least one cockroach but not enough to ruin my stay here. I enjoyed myself. TV has many great channels and the AC keeps the room cool. read more

I booked through Hotels.com for my son that was on his way for a deployment to Japan for the Airforce and when my son got there to check in we found out that we booked the wrong month so he booked right at the front desk for that night since he only had a 6 hours before his flight to Japan and was tired, I tried to cancel and explained what happened and was told basically to bad no refund! Thanks for supporting the troops even though you still got your money and actually even more since he still booked the night he was actually there!!! read more

Common Rodeway Inn! At least make an effort! - The carpets were dirty. - Lots of hair in my bathroom - Could do with a paint job. - Obvious patched hole in my ceiling. - And 3 squares left on the top on the top roll! I am all for using the last of the TP, but you could have left the remnant on the tank and put a full one on the roll! YGWYPF but this was a bit less! read more

Rodeway Inn - C'mon! You could have putting on the tank, and put a fresh roll on! - Hotels Near Me - SeaTac, Washington

This place is a dump. Dirty and falling apart. Sicky carpet with stains. Bedclothes were dirty and stained upon our arrival. Absolutely disgusting. read more

I spent an evening at this Rodeway Inn as part of a layover at Seattle. The stay was ample and did the job, but there is room for improvement. There is a shuttle service available to/from the airport to the motel. The shuttle can be initiated by calling the front desk. However, the shuttle hours are limited so it is a good idea to look at your flight arrival/departure times, and seek alternative airport transportation during the off hours. The Rodeway Inn is within walking distance to restaurants--dining options are available at nearby hotels, as well as a Denny's and 7-Eleven close by. Check-in was quick and the staff are friendly. There is a $100 deposit that was refunded within 48 hours of checking out. The property itself appears tired and jaded. There are no elevators at this property and the upper floors can only be accessible by stair. The room itself was quite jaded, with furnishings in real need of replacement. The carpets needed a good shampooing and a deep-cleaning would be a game-changer. There is a mini-fridge and microwave oven in the room. Additionally, there is a plasma TV in the room as well as reliable WiFi. The HVAC is functional but could use a filter change. Overall, my stay was to spend the night and catch an early flight, and this Rodeway Inn has helped me achieve that goal. read more

We were going to stay for 2 nights. The room smelled, was dirty, and there were cockroaches in the bathroom. We checked out and into the Best Western next door. They call this place 'American Horror Story.' I would give this place negative stars if possible. read more

This hotel deserves zero stars. One of the nastiest hotels I've ever stayed in. No room service, the WiFi never worked, the water barely gets hot, no microwave, front desk staff speak very little English, they add a $100 damage deposit (the whole hotel isn't even worth $100....) It smells bad. This hotel needs to be condemned. Also, I was told there was a "complimentary" cruise shuttle and when I went to book it they wanted to charge me $52. I was supposed to stay here after my cruise but we canceled and will be staying elsewhere. read more

Not too shabby for the price. Came with a mini fridge and a tv. The furniture in our room was broken, but we didn't use it anyways. The hall always smelled like someone was cooking but it was strange since there wasn't appliances to cook with in the rooms. read more

Great price and friendly service, however there are children who live here and they crowd the parking lot and have no respect for cars passing by. They don't move out the way, they run in front of moving cars. They flip you the finger and make gun gestures as you drive past. Makes it hard to talk to the parents if that's how the children act they could be dangerous. They also pull out dressers from behind the trash can and climb on them. It's becoming hazardous read more

They could start by cleaning the rooms, vacuuming the entire Motel, fixing things that get broken, kill the coach roaches, get a seal on the toilet to indicate the bathroom has been cleaned, stop advertising free breakfast when there is non. Get a water stopper so you can have a bath but before having a bath please clean the tub. When there are broken or chipped items in the room it would look a lot better if you made the effort to fix them. You know the "five second rule if good drops?" Well I wouldn't advise that anywhere in the facilities. Just because the cost is cheaper then most it doesn't mean your aloud to be filthy, neglectful and disgusting property owners. You all from the cleaning staff to the management and owners you should all be accountable pay fines refund everyone money back and look down in shame !!! Absolutely despicable!!! read more

Close to the airport if you need a quick crash. Pricy for what you're getting, and the shuttle is only 7am-7pm, but it will work in a pinch. The room is nothing at all special, and you may need extra pillows as we did, but the front desk guy was nice and the room was clean. read more

This is the hotel the police check you into when you're having mental health crisis and they can't arrest you. When the police remove you from the propery, the hotel staff steals your stuff. To be clear, it was my friend having problems not me. The stench of that room still haunts me. read more

Absolutely disgusting. The walls were stained with god knows what. The room stunk like puke. The mattress was past its end of life and on a metal frame. Terrible nights sleep. A bright flood light pointed at the front of the building kept the room lit. The furniture all looked like it was picked up off the street. The AC did not keep the room cool. I stayed at a best western the nect night, same price, 100x better. Don't make the mistake of staying here. read more

We had a great experience here. Ashtaen at the front desk was super helpful, thanks so much!!

I was flying out the next morning early and decided to find a place I could sleep at , walking distance from the airport. This was non-refundable but was so gross to me I almost bailed anyway. Hair on the bathroom floor, what looked to be mildew on the top of the shower enclosure and a hand towel that was clearly left from the prior guests. I unwrapped the bar of soap and it felt wet. It appeared to be stuck back in a package to pass off as new soap. It was so gross. Never again!!!! I'd give zero stars if possible! read more

I didn't find any bed bugs. I also didn't find signs that housekeeping knew how to clean crumbs off of the mismatched bedside table or toothpaste off of the bathroom mirror. I didn't find signs that maintenance knew how to use painters tape or to remove fixtures before paining the walls. I didn't find matching furniture or any matching decor, I didn't find toilet paper that had been placed on the roll so that it fed over to top to the front. I didn't find carpeting in the room that matched the carpeting in the hall. Or the curtains. It the comforters. I didn't find a lot of things. But I did find a vacancy at 3 in the morning when I was exhausted and needed a place to sleep; so I guess that's something. read more

Negatives: If ZERO or a negative number was an option, I'm sure it would be popular. ROADKILL - not Rodeway Inn! Smelled like smoke, it was seedy and dirty, lacked any niceties, shuttle service only operated 7 am- 7 pm, so was no help for our 7 am flight to Washington, DC. Rugs were dirty, sheets had holes in them, very small rooms, no chair to sit in (no room for a chair), tiny towels. I could go on, but you get the idea. Oh, on our return to Sea-TAC we had to get back to Roadkill to pick up our car. We called (twice) to asked them to send the shuttle to pick us up. After waiting 25 minutes, we gave up and took a cab (rip off $21). Positives: Very close (1 mile) to the airport. read more

Let me preface my review by saying that I am traveling to a different state every month. That said, the important criteria for me are: cleanliness, an approachable staff, and a quiet room. Based on my 4 day experience at this Seattle location, I give them 5 stars. Staff were so nice, helpfull, and professional. My room was clean & so comfortable. I require something substantial covering me and my bed came with a quilted, reversible bed cover. I was so happy about this as well for the comfortable mattress. Also in the room was a desk, comfy office chair, new & very effecient a/c and large openable window to hear the finches and see Pacific Northwest trees. The bath was spotless with a nice shower. To add a cherry or two over top, was free morn ing coffee, free airport shuttle, a 7/11 & Denny's in walking distance and the light rail that takes you right to the downtown area. Finally, was the price, $225 for 3 nights & received my $100 deposit back in 72 hours. read more

Beds were terribly uncomfortable. We checked out a day early. Cords to lamps were frayed and unusable. Room was dark. TV dated. The beds have no box spring and mattresses are thin and lumpy like a cot or prison bed. Would not recommend. Smoking rooms. That's about all for the positives. read more

Well, I know that running a small business is tough but... Come on man. This place needs some upgrades. Yes, it is inexpensive but I can't give it a strong endorsement. The faucets barely worked in the sink and shower. The soaps were the cheapest little things I have ever seen in a hotel. The furniture is just really old. Even the continental breakast coffee tasted cheap. I hate to be petty. A guy on his own is fine here. But a picky spouse may not be happy at all here. read more

Wow, what a dump. From the moment I walked into my room, I was underwhelmed and disappointed. First off, was the overall stink of the room, smelling of mildew and other unidentifiable aromas. I immediately opened the window in an attempt to air the place out. I was a bit surprised to see there was no bug screen, since Seattle has its share of mosquitoes. Nevertheless, I was willing to suffer some bites in order to breathe something other than the fetid air in that room. The room has a number of impromptu patches on the wall (see picture), making one wonder what sort of activities are normally engaged in while people stay here. My TV could not be turned on by the remote, nor could the light between the beds. One of the chairs had multiple cuts in it, but evidently the management still felt it was serviceable to continue using it. Lastly, a word about their shuttle service, such as it is. I arrived at 9:30 in the evening and when I called for the shuttle, I was informed it only runs from 7am to 7pm. Tack on another $17 for an Uber ride. The next morning, I went down ten minutes early to wait for the 9am shuttle. At 10 minutes after, I went inside to inquire about the shuttle and was told the next one would depart at 9:30. When asked about the "every 30 minutes shuttle", they finally agreed to give me a ride. Bottom line: if you can find a freeway underpass to sleep the night, you are probably better off than going to this dive. read more

I felt a little adventurous and booked the cheapest motel close to SeaTac (Seattle-Tacoma) Airport that I could find. Having said that, I knew what I was getting myself into. Rodeway Inn is an old, run-down motel located right by the light rail station. I didn't have a car on my last trip to Seattle, hence proximity to the train station was a factor (5-minute walk from train station to hotel... not bad!). The room had a TV, fridge, and microwave. I thought the bed was okay. But man, they need to buy new pillows! I've always been wary of the sheets, comforters and pillowcases, and whether they get washed at all, and that sentiment holds true up to this day especially for budget hotels. The staff was pretty friendly, though. The guy who checked me in was on top of things. When I got to my room, I noticed that they didn't provide enough towels for me so I called him and he had housekeeping bring me more towels in two minutes! I paid $112 for two nights, which you probably can't find anywhere else in Seattle. But you get what you pay for. If you're on a budget, or if you need a place to crash for the evening to catch an early morning flight, then Rodeway Inn might be a good place for you. I should add that they offer free shuttle rides to the airport, and I think you can arrange for a pickup as well. Will I come back? Probably not. But maybe I will if I'm on a budget. read more

Nasty place. Poor customer service. Unfriendly, unhelpful and uncaring. Accidentally booked a smoking room, request for a non smoking room was denied. Bed bugs. I was bitten throughout the night. Dark, dingy and nasty. Great place to bring a disease ridden hooker. Aside from that, wouldn't recommend it. Motel 6 down the road. read more

If I could give this "inn" no stars, I absolutely would!!! The front desk male employee was beyond rude. What hotel charges more to NOT SMOKE, this one!!!! 10$ extra for a non smoking room upon check in. All hotels prefer that you don't smoke in the rooms. Here's more of my list....No secondary lock on the door, the tub does not drain, so you are standing in water ankle deep.. the phone does not connect to the front desk so you have to use your own phone. The TV should be in a museum or trash can!!! The room was filthy. The walls were thin, the bed was an old time spring mattress that was stained. My advice is to avoid this place at all cost!!!!! Yes. It was cheap BUT YOU GET WHAT YOU PAID FOR!! Good luck out there. Stay safe. Stay away from this "hotel". read more

The place is rundown, requires updating, its clean, no insects. its rather small outside the room, no restaurant, no bar, but inside the room its roomy, big TV, a microwave, frig, hot water, very clean. bed is nice. not enough lighting fixture or charging stations. but the outside looks like its in disarray. you could paint the place for christ sake, your right up against the plaza. read more

Rodeway Inn should change the name to roadkill Inn. This place is nasty. Nothing felt clean, and the smell on the upper floors was nauseating. Choice Hotels needs to remove Rodeway from their list of choices. Second time at a roadkill inn, and both have been terrible. Properties need to be torn down and rebuilt. Negative star rating if it were possible. read more

Front desk person told us we couldn't bring all our luggage in (?)-- We told him we were extremely frequent travelers and were going to bring our luggage in our room if we liked (We need our luggage??). He continued to call our room 3 separate times and pester us about "moving in" and leaving at check-out time at 11AM. My group was staying for business purposes and are frequently traveling adults, but felt as if the front desk person was prejudicial against us due to our young(er) age. He seemed to highly dislike us and highly enjoy letting us know he was watching us on his cameras. So creepy... We took a video of our room to prove we left it clean and free of damage as we've read other reviews and see this Rodeway Inn has a nasty little habit of tacking on unauthorized and unnecessary upcharges. Yikes! read more

Rodeway Inn at 2830... in Seatc WA. Steals the $50 deposit from some of it's customers!! The morning of Aug 8, 2022 I asked to check the room to get my deposit back and the guy tells me it takes 7-10 days to get i back. 10 days later, without even notifying me, the kept my $50 deposit stating there was a smell!! NO WAY!! I CLEANED MY ROOM AND EVEWN HELPED THE MAID!!! FRAUD!! THEFT! read more

Pretty sketchy hotel - the man behind the desk wasn't very cheery at all and took a $100 deposit that would be returned in 5 days or we could pay cash, weird atmosphere, the beds were rock hard, peeling paint and funky bathroom, and when asked for an extra pillow, we were told there weren't any. It was one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed at. We really couldn't wait to get out of there. read more

Cigarette burns on the bed spread, hair all over the bathroom. Felt dirty, smelled dirty. They hard charge the security deposit, which seems unnecessary anyway, then they wait over a week to initiate returning it to you. Spend a little more to stay in a better room and you'll end up spending less. read more

Honestly I hate to give this hotel 1 star. It's old needs renovation. The outside is a complete eye sore. The manager is rude and in my opinion very racists. He and my husband got into a small disagreement and he refused to let us stay the next day. (Which I wasn't upset about leaving because I hated it anyway) it was the principle of the matter. Why refuse customers another night due to a small disagreement. We aren't children and do not have to be on our best behavior just to stay in a shanty Rodeway inn near Seattle, I called myself saving money by staying here while in town. Serious mistake this hotel makes u feel dirty and itchy. read more

Nononono. We did not feel safe here at all from the moment we stepped out of the car--hell, when we pulled into the parking lot. It's all the way hidden in a corner behind another hotel, the glass door to the lobby was cracked, there is no elevator, but don't worry! There's a ramp to the second floor behind the hotel in the sketchy back parking lot, no accessible entrance to the third floor, and doors to the outside that don't really shut all the way. I know it's super cheap, but there's a reason for that. If you're just looking for a normal hotel to sleep in for ANY amount of time, this is not the place to go. If you want to exchange illegal products and services, this place is perfect. read more

I do not recommend this hotel . I don't care if you're desperate. This hotel is disgusting and there was a guest there that yells everyday that I was there. I'm going to assume she lives there because I did not see her leave at all. I barely got any sleep because of her. Staff is nice but be prepared for the nickel and dining . Now i I know better for nct tim. read more

It's certainly not fancy, but the rooms are clean and cheap and the staff incredibly friendly. Due to a little mix-up (long story) I arrived in Seattle the night before my reservation at another hotel started. They were booked full up for tonight (actually, they can't even seem to find tomorrow's reservation, but that's another review entirely) and here I was standing outside the baggage claim area with tons of luggage on a rainy Seattle night just before midnight. What to do? Why, hop on my handy dandy Yelp phone app and start calling local hotels to find a place to sleep tonight, that's what!!! The Rodeway Inn was the first place I called and the lady who answered the phone was very reassuring. Yes, they had a room available and quoted a very reasonable price. Next, she ascertained where I was (where cars pick you up) and gave me directions on how to get up and over the sky bridge, down the escalator, and over to where the courtesy shuttle picked me up about 10 minutes later. The nonsmoking room is clean (I did the standard bedbug check and all was clear) but pretty basic other than the large (waist high) fridge and microwave . The fridge is in perfect working order with all it's shelves and a working freezer. Oh yes, I DID mention the microwave, didn't I? I've stayed in worse. The lady who checked me in even asked me if I wanted a wake up call. I forgot to ask what time breakfast was, but I'm totally cool with just sleeping through it. Don't set your expectations too high, it's no resort destination, but if you just need a clean and safe place to crash near the airport with a free shuttle, "That'll do, pig." read more

This is not a fancy hotel. I just wanted to stay some place cheap since I have an early flight. My room was less than $50....say what??? I'm all about that!! Bummer no elevator but at least their was a tv, fridge and a microwave. Parking was free. I have no complaints about this place. Perfect place if you just need a cheap motel, close to the airport and comfortable. I'd come again if I had an early flight again. read more

Pro: The staff is open and friendly. Cons: There are so many basic hotel needs and requirements I'm going to just have to list them: 1. The pest problem others described is real. I even took a picture of my particular eight-legged roommate for the evening. 2. No iron or ironing board in the room despite the hotel's room description listing such. This is a big deal to me as I travel mainly on business usually with a suit and no matter how smooth my flights are I have to iron out my dress shirts in the morning. 3. Basic hotel maintenance not done. Two particular examples (within this list of examples) is the hole in my bathroom door and the fact that my shower wall was bowing out considerably due to water damage. Another example mentioned in other reviews is the shady door locks that look as though one could take a screwdriver and wander about the hotel as they pleased. 4. More specific to my stay, the knob on my shower was labeled in reverse (picture also attached with the knob in the position I showered) where the more cold you turned the knob the hotter your shower got. Bottom line, I don't expect a lot from the bargain bin prices this hotel offers, but there are some basic needs and requirements all travelers need to be met and these guys just don't cut it. As I started off this review, the staff are incredibly nice and friendly, but it wouldn't be fair to the greater audience here if your didn't know what you were getting yourself into. Spend the extra thrifty bucks and don't stay here; you'll be glad you did. read more

This hotel was dirty, no elevator to bring bags to third floor room so 4 heavy bags up and down 3 flights of stairs sucked!! I had to pay for the room upfront then once I checked in they ask me for a $100 deposit. I called 2 days later to find out why It's not back in my account and front desk guy said it takes 3 to 7 days to be back in account. I was not happy but it is what it is!!! I will never stay there again!! read more
