Thieving Employee, Dirty Floors, Stinking Room - Don't risk your safety by staying at Rodeway Inn / Choice Hotels in Hays, KS. Rodeway Inn / Choice Hotels employee broke into my room and stole my bag, clothes, electronic equipment, and personal items. The owner told me he would not help me nor reimburse me for my items his employee stole. The owner rudely told me to call the police and take care of the theft myself. I contacted the parent company, Choice Hotels and they said they wouldn't help me and that I needed to work things out with the hotel owner. I filed a police report and met with a police officer. The police officer informed me that the Rodeway Inn hotel has the most crime of any hotel in Hays, KS and the police department is very familiar with this hotel. Regarding the hotel, it is the least expensive hotel in Hays, and I discovered why. The room stinks. The bed stinks. The pillows stink. The hotel provided towel stank so badly that I felt the need to step back in the shower and shower off again. Floors are dirty and will turn your socks and feet black quickly.  I knew I wasn't staying at a 5-star hotel but the employee theft, the owner's rude "customer service," the horrendous smells, the dirty floors, and the tacky room made me regret trying to save a few dollars. Don't stay here unless you want to be burgled and then have the owner berate you for being a victim.

Choice Hotels / Rodeway Inn Employee Theft - Dirty, Stinking Rooms

This Rodeway Inn used to be a Motel 6. It’s a bare minimum motel. The first room I got, the refrigerator didn’t work, nor did the TV remote. I complained and they switched me to a better room. The place was worth what I paid for it, which was nothing (I used reward points). It’s about what you’d expect on the low end of the price scale. The room was small. Not a lot of elbow room. It wasn’t terrible, nor was it wonderful. It could use a little better maintenance. Also, the grounds were kind of trashy. The guy at the front desk was nice, and did his best to be helpful, though I had a hard time understanding him. I would stay there again, but I wouldn’t go around bragging about it. 


About What You'd Expect For A Lower Priced Motel

After a couple of hours at this place I left because of the condition of the place. I was told that my deposit that I paid on my debit card was going to be refunded. Well it never happened and when I call the office NO ONE ever answers!! I'm going to report this place to Ecpedia. Total B.S.

Didn't return my deposit

ONE OF THE WORST EXPERIENCES I'EVER DEALT WITH AT A HOTEL!
we checked in with at 11:30 AM ON 5/24/2021.
We checked OUT at 1:00 PM on 5/24/2021.
Why you may ask? After just 45 minutes in their beds I started to itch. Then I developed HUGE welted hives.
Dirty sheets or allergy? who knows.
I went to the front desk. The employee working was belligerent, rude, and dismissive. He insisted we'd been there since the day before, despite having been the one to check us in. He yelled at me repeatedly, and spoke to me as if I was stupid. I requested a manager, and was denied. I INSISTED to speak with a manager because I was done with this employees belligerence. He yelled at me again stating no manager was available, and refused to give me contact information for one.
Not 2 minutes later, who walks out from the back but THE MANAGER! I show him the pictures of my upper legs (where the welts were the worst), and he "agreed" to a refund. Stated it would take 2-3 business days.
Today is 5/27/2021. My bank account has been charged 3 by this hotel!
I called and asked for Dana, the manager whose card I was given, and assumed I'd talked to Monday. No Dana, but the manager from Monday, who's name I was apparently lied to about, came on the line.
He INSISTED I was wrong. That the refund was pending and I didn't know how to read my own bank statements! Luckily my banks fraud department will take this over for me.
Avoid this place at all costs.

WORST OPTION YOU COULD CHOOSE!

Old Former Motel 6 with Drive-Up Rooms . Very Basic but Also Very Affordable . Room Did Have Micro/Fridge . If All You Want Is A Road Stop Motel " Cheap " Then This Roadway Inn Will Do The Job . But Remember " You Get What You Pay For " .

Low Budget Motel

Sure they are the lowest hotel in hays. You get what you pay for.
The room was stuffy but it cooled down. No frills no laundry bag. No continental breakfast like what is standard in other choice hotels in Hays.
The bed might as well came from the Flintstones. It was hard and uncomfortable.
On a bright note the round shower was different and hot. The room was clean.

Avoid hotel

Pool looks like it hasn't been open in years.  Basic room.  Internet was sporadic.  Quiet and clean, however.  Probably better places for just a few bucks more.  Used to be a Motel 6.  OK location many other choices nearby.

No pool, internet broken

You get what you pay for in this case we still paid too much. The mattress was totally wore out with broken springs. I had literally taken better mattresses to the landfill. I don't expect too much from a budget hotel just a good night's sleep.

At a discount price still paid too much

I came here after a night of total mistreatment by a neighboring Marriott property.  The customer service was friendly, fast, and efficient.  They had a room available despite the fact that I was checking in at noon since my car broke down on the interstate..

The room was dated but clean,  The shower was hot and the bed was comfortable.  The place won't win any architectural awards but I was very happy with the service provided and the accommodations.

If they would update things they would get better reviews but the room was good enough for one comfortable night..

Great Customer Service, Adequate Overnight Accommodations

BEWARE DO NOT STAY HERE NEVER EVER FOR ANY REASON, let’s start off with the arrival and check in. Very suspect as people were all around drinking and smoking and the place was filthy.  They write their own reviews under anonymous to raise their ratings. Our first room was disgusting and had no a/c, the second room was worst yet, the third room was gross but we were tired. Stains, hair, dead flies on the walls and windows, no shampoo, etc etc. the Repair guy came over with a beer in his hand. I AM THE DUMB ONE FOR STAYING HERE AND NOT JUST LEAVING MY $50 behind. It gets worst. The cleaning lady was on crack or heroine and at 10 pm at nite while in bed watching TV someone comes busting thru the door. Supposedly they got the room key at check in. I went down in the morning to get a refund and a front desk person maybe 16 years old with her feet up playing on her phone said that no one was around til later. I called the place for hours and nothing. I think they blocked my number.  JUST A WARNING TO YOU, DRUGS AND CRIMINAL ACTIVITY ABOUND.
