This place was a very nice stay: rooms were very clean and looked just like the photos on Google, the staff were just awesome, and over all i was very happy with my stay. It is a cheap motel so get what you pay for (not alot of amenities if any at all.) However ive stayed in some even more expensive hotels and they weren’t nearly as nice as this. Would I stay long term (2-3 weeks) no, but 2-3 days this would be perfect. If you are looking for a quick stay in Palestine I would definitely look into this place
This place is great! Newly renovated. It's the cheapest place in town. I came in for a new job and didn't have my first paycheck yet so had to pass up on the 5 star places. I was worried that I was going to be rooming with roaches and Crack heads. Not the case at all. New light oak hard wood floors with marble showers. Nice furniture. Fast wifi next to the laundry room and the parking lot was lit up real good just to keep everyone honest with cameras everywhere. Everything I wanted in a hotel. I was truly in a desperate need and rodeway Inn of palestine was a God sent blessing. I even lost my key twice in 1 hr. And the guy up front said no problem. God bless you rodeway inn
Very comfortable bed also place is very quiet and staff is very friendly and amazing. You also get a small refrigerator and microwave I am still here and enjoying my stay.
I was worried cause is never stayed at a Rodeway Inn before. It was very affordable. I felt safe, well lit parking lot, and the rooms have been remodeled and mine was very clean. Would definitely stay there again
A five star Rodeway Inn review for a typical 1 star hotel chain. The most updated and cleanest Rodeway Inn I’ve ever stayed in. I actually didn’t feel the need to wear shower shoes in the shower. Perfect for a rest overnight stay. Would have given five star for service if it had a cup of coffee included.
It is a way better experience than the previous motel chain that was there before! Great service, clean rooms and low prices
This place is under new ownership and just converted to a Rodeway Inn. I was looking for an inexpensive room for the night but wanted something clean and safe and I certainly got what I wanted here. When I stayed they were still remodeling some of the rooms so the few guests there were all at one end of the motel. It's an old fashioned layout, you park in front of your room's door. No frills like breakfast and when I was there the TV just got local channels. But the bed and everything in the room was new. Fresh paint on the walls and new fixtures in the bathroom. I was very happy with my stay and the receptionist was very friendly and helpful.
Didn't stay here but have friends that stayed. Rooms are remodeled and updated. They were nice. No pool or hot tub. Parking is OK. Maintenance man is super cool. Has washer and dryers available. Nice for the price.
